What does the word Adam mean? Ruddy... to show blood in the face.. The lineage from Adam to Christ was the protected blood line. Abraham's first son Ishmael is the father of the Arab peoples. Adam's offspring to Noah and his three sons are recorded in Genesis 5.
Well, kind of. In Hebrew "dam" means blood and "adamah" means earth, and they're sort of related because in parts of the Middle East (just like here in Tennessee) there's a lot of brownish-red clay. Adam could have been pink as a blushing Welshman or as earth-red as the Cherokee Sequoyah.
We don't know what Adam looked like.
Neither do we know what Jesus looked like. But this image may be close.
And Jesus must have been a brown-skinned, black-haired Judean, like other Judeans of His time. However, His Divine nature transcends His earthly looks, so Europeans painted him as one of their own, Africans paint Jesus as a Negroid, while the ancient Church of Assyria which spread to China painted Christ with Oriental features. And why not? He came for all mankind, irrespective of our features
Adam’s name came from dirt. In Hebrew the word for dirt and the word for blood have similar sounds but are spelled differently..
