Here’s another interesting bit of Genesis creation information that I found intriguing.When God created man and woman, he named the man Adam (Genesis 5:2). In the original Hebrew Adam’s name has a very interesting etymology, and refers to his own blood.

“A” refers to God, as it does in numerous other instances in the Hebrew language, such as “Adoni.”

The rest of the word, “dam”, has several meanings, foremost of which is “red, ruddy”, even “bloody.”

And so, “Adam” literally means “God’s blood.” That speaks volumes about our relationship to God; we truly are God’s children.
