Adam: Eves
built 646 days ago
Adam was the first man, created by God. (Genesis 2:7). Man is described in the Torah as a likeness of God and ... as a worker of the ground. From Adam's rib God formed his wife Eve (Genesis 2:21), and he placed the couple in the Garden of Eden. After eating from the forbidden fruit, both Adam and Eve were expelled (Genesis 3:17-24). As a punishment he was forced to work for a living and to die at the time God chooses.

Adam and Eve appear in many books besides Genesis, such as the Life of Adam and Eve, the Talmud, Gnostic texts, and the Qur'an. Jewish tradition sometimes includes reference to other wives of Adam's. Christians see Jesus Christ as a "new Adam" who brings life instead of death. They see the serpent as Satan, and the Fall as establishing original sin. Muslims honor Adam as a prophet and say that God gave him the kaaba.

Adam and Eve are considered in evangelical Christianity and Orthodox Judaism as real historical people, as Genesis 5:4 records Adam within a genealogy. In the New Testament, Paul references Adam and Eve many times, especially contrasting Adam with Jesus where Paul writes in the 5th chapter of Romans "12 Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and ... death spread to all men, because all sinned— 13 (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sinned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come. 15 But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many." This is taken to support a historical Adam by fundamentalists as some theologians interpret Adam's sin as a historical event that changed humankind.

Adam, at the age of nine hundred and thirty years, became very ill; for God had cursed him with seventy-two ailments. He sent his son Seth, with Eve, to the Garden of Eden for the oil of healing, to restore him to health (Pirḳe R. El. xxxv). On his way to paradise Seth was attacked by a wild animal. Upon Eve's demanding how an animal could dare to attack an image of God, the animal replied that she herself, through her sin, had forfeited the right to rule over the animal kingdom (Pesiḳ. v. 44b, ed. Buber, and Sanh.
