What Original Readers Understood
Supported# H0121H: אָדָם (adam) Based on the lexical data provided, this Hebrew word appears in the biblical text exactly once and is defined as a proper noun referring to "Adam." The singular occurrence and the proper noun classification indicate this term functions as a specific personal name rather than a common noun with broader semantic range. Without additional contextual data about which biblical passage contains this occurrence, or comparative usage patterns across multiple instances, the lexicon entry permits only the most straightforward interpretation: this represents the specific designation for a particular individual in the biblical narrative. The rarity of this specific form in the provided data suggests it may represent a particular textual variant or represent a technical distinction from related forms of the word. The lexical information as presented does not support analysis of metaphorical usage, theological development, or cultural significance beyond its basic function as a proper name in the biblical text.
