Man:
Four Hebrew terms are rendered "man" in the Authorized Version:
(1.) Adam, the name of the man created in the image of God. It appears to be derived from Adam, "he or it was red or ruddy," like Edom. This was the generic term for the human race.
(2.) Ish, "man," as distinguished from woman, husband.
(3.) Geber, "a man," from gabar, "to be strong," generally with reference to his strength.
(4.) Methim, "men," always masculine. Perhaps it may be derived from the root muth, "he died."
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
