Senses
1. Adam (person) — The proper name Adam, referring to the first man in the Genesis narrative and genealogies. Used as a personal name in Genesis 3:17 (and to Adam), 4:25, 5:1-5, 1 Chronicles 1:1, and figuratively in Job 31:33 and Hosea 6:7 where 'like Adam' references the prototypical human transgression. All multilingual glosses consistently render it as the personal name Adam/Adan (Arabic Adam, Korean adam, Spanish Adan). Includes occurrences with various prepositions (k-, l-, w-) which are syntactic, not semantic, variations. 9×

2. Adam (place) — A toponym referring to the city of Adam near the Jordan River, mentioned in Joshua 3:16 where the waters of the Jordan stood in a heap far away at Adam, the city beside Zarethan. The place name derives from the same root as the personal name but functions as a distinct geographic reference (N-proper-fs). Both occurrences (the variant reading and the prepositional form) refer to this same Transjordan location. Spanish renders it 'en Adam/desde Adam,' Arabic 'min Adam,' confirming the locative sense. 2×
