Two Adams in
Genesis
Genesis 1 “Man” in
general is the nations; the races. --
Genesis 2 “Man” is the specific man
Adam.
First Word
·
The Hebrew word “Adam” in the Strong’s Concordance means; 1) To show blood (rosy
face) - 2) “to be red”
or a ruddy color of human skin. Adam was placed in the garden to JOIN God
in the propagation and preservation of things God created. Adam was not only a laborer, but also a
thinker as he named every one of the animals. – BUT, was he the first man?
·
The first time I ever heard
the teaching that there were TWO ADAMS in Genesis was on a TV
program called SHEPHERD’S CHAPEL with Pastor Arnold Murray. – Many of Murray’s
teaching are concluded from the SILENCE of the scriptures, not
from the actual scriptures themselves. - He takes the positon that all the DIFFERENT RACES or nations were created on THE SIXTH DAY BEFORE Adam and Eve were formed; it is from these
other nations that Cain would get his wife and produce the evil Kenites.
·
Articles comprise a group of
exactly three words; a, an, the; they are used in front of nouns to
shape how general or how specific the noun should be. The definite article “Ha” is usually
translated “the”
in the English language.
·
Particles function like an adverb changing
the meaning of the verb. The
Particle “Eth”
is to point out more definitely the
object of a verb or preposition.
·
The Hebrew word for man translates with the
word “Adam”,
meaning men, mankind. - However with
the definite article of “Eth Ha Adam”, translates
to mean a specific man; this Same
Man. The Book
calls this same man the Adam of the Garden of Eden.
·
The manuscripts in one verse when
speaking of “MAN”, translates man “Adam”;
meaning men in general; the very next verse, man is translated man “Eth Ha Adam”, a specific man; so in Murray’s eyes, the
Book is talking about TWO DIFFERENT
ADAMS. - Hold that thought -
·
There are two accounts of creation
in Genesis and there are notably glaring differences between Chapter ONE and
that of Chapter TWO; namely the
conflicting ORDER of events.
·
Chapter 1 -
First Adam –
God CREATED the animals first then
He created Adam SECOND. – Other
beings were also present; “let us”. Murray says man existed with God as little
gods before creation. – In this first creation all the non-white races were created
·
Chapter 2 -
Second Adam –
The LORD God
FORMED
Adam FIRST, then the Animals second. In this second creation, Murray
says the Anglo-Saxon or white
race was formed.
·
Genesis 1:1-25 we find recorded the accounts of the first FIVE DAYS of
creation.
·
Genesis 1:26 on the SIXTH DAY God created the FIRST Adam; meaning man
or mankind or human
beings, depending on which translation of the Book that you are
using.
·
Genesis 2:1-3 – The
Book says God COMPLETED
His creation work by the sixth day and then on
the SEVENTH DAY He rested as His CREATION
was FINISHED.
·
Genesis 2:4 - After
the seven days of creation we find in the very
next few verses that God then FORMED a SECOND Adam
from the dirt and then made Eve from one
of Adam’s ribs and then prepared a Garden for them to live in east of Eden.
·
Genesis 1:26 – States that God created man both Male and Female.
- Hold that thought –
·
Genesis 1:27 - Speaks of man; “Eth Ha Adam” meaning “these specific men”.
·
GET READY TO GET
UPSET:
some students of the Word take this to mean that the gender of the first created
beings were BOTH male
and female in one body; unisex,
transgender, their reference is the Jonathan TARGUM. (By the way, there were a number of Targum’s)
Murray’s
Bible
·
The 1602 Bishops Bible was the Basis
for the 1611 King James Bible that Murray uses exclusively; correcting their
mistranslations. This 1611 KJV contains
an intertestamental section containing 14 books of the APOCRYPHA with the Book
of Jasher being one of the better
known. - By 1769, almost all printings of the KJV Bible OMITTED the Apocrypha.
·
The Catholic Bible contains deuterocanonical
books, some seven of the Apocrypha writings; Tobit
– Judith – 1st & 2nd Maccabees – Wisdom of Solomon – Wisdom of Sirach –
Baruch and Ester additions. Some object to the books of the Apocrypha, but I find that they make for good
reading; to understand the flavor and “gnostic” thinking of the time.
Targum – The
account of Johnathan the scribe
·
A Targum is the Torah’s first five books of the Bible written in the Aramaic language; a professional
interpreter would give a reading in the common language of the people, and would
then frequently expand the translation with paraphrases, explanations and
examples. Initially these Targum’s were NOT
recognized as authoritative by the religious leaders.
·
This Targum seems to support
the transgender language; two Adams and
the nations with red, black and white skin. I include this NOT
to argue the point, to get you to embrace it, but for you to just know that such
teachings exist and to know about Targums in general.
·
GENESIS CHAPTERS ONE AND TWO - TARGUM;
The account
of Johnathan the scribe.
·
The word of the Lord created man
in his likeness, in the likeness of the presence of the Lord he created him the
male and his yoke-fellow he created them.
In the image of the Lord he created him with two hundred and forty and
eight members, with three hundred and sixty and five nerves and overlaid them
with skin and filled it with flesh and blood. Male and female in
their bodies he created them.
·
The Lord God created man in two formations;
and took dust from the place of the house of the sanctuary and from the four
winds of the world and mixed from all the waters of the world and created him red, black and white and breathed into his nostrils the inspiration of
life. And there was in the body of Adam
the inspiration of a speaking spirit, unto the illumination of the eyes
and the hearing of the ears. (…
and Adam became a soul of life.)
Jeremiah 37:15 – Jonathan the scribe was with the
Prophet
15 They were furious with Jeremiah and had him flogged and imprisoned in the house of JONATHAN THE SECRETARY (scribe). Jonathan’s house had been converted into a prison (NLT).

First Adam
·
In this First account, it’s about God’s recreation of
the earth. - God created animals first then He created man both male and
female at the same time. – Hold that
thought -
·
Genesis 1:11 God brought forth
seed bearing plants and fruit trees
·
Genesis 1:20 God brought forth
every kind of bird, fish and the great sea creatures
·
Genesis 1:24 God brought forth
small animals, livestock and wild animals
·
Genesis 1:26 God
made mankind (Adam) – “Man” does NOT
have the article “Eth”, making the word “Adam” refer to not a specific man, but to ALL THE RACES
OF PEOPLE or NATIONS.
·
Genesis 1:27 Is
about a group of people outside of the garden, before Adam was created both
male and female.
The Hebrew word “Create” is used to simply
mean create.…
·
Genesis 1:28 EVERYTHING
could be eaten, including the fish of the sea; there is no mention of a
forbidden tree.
·
Genesis 1:29 NOTE;
these first mankind were FISHERMEN
and HUNTERS
of birds and small animals and GATHERS
of fruits and seed bearing plants for food. –
Hold that thought -
Genesis 1:11-13 – Third Day – Seed bearing plants
fruit trees
11 Then God said, “LET THE LAND SPROUT WITH VEGETATION—every sort of SEED-BEARING PLANT, and trees that grow SEED-BEARING FRUIT. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened.
11 Then God said, “LET THE LAND SPROUT WITH VEGETATION—every sort of SEED-BEARING PLANT, and trees that grow SEED-BEARING FRUIT. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened.
12 The land produced
vegetation—all
sorts of seed-bearing plants, and trees with seed-bearing fruit. Their seeds
produced plants and trees of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
13 And evening passed and morning came, marking the THIRD DAY. (NLT)

Genesis 1:20-23 Fifth Day – Birds, Fish and great
sea Creatures
20 Then God said, “Let the waters swarm with FISH and other life. Let the skies be filled with BIRDS of every kind.”
21 So God created GREAT SEA CREATURES and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird—each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.
22 Then God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”
23 And evening passed and morning came, marking the FIFTH DAY. (NLT)

Genesis 1:24-25 – Sixth Day – God produced
livestock; animals
24 Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—
24 Then God said, “Let the earth produce every sort of animal, each producing offspring of the same kind—
LIVESTOCK, SMALL
ANIMALS that
scurry along the ground, and WILD ANIMALS.” And that is what happened.
25 God made all sorts of wild animals, livestock, and small animals, each able to produce offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good. (NLT)

(ESV) Genesis 1:26 – Sixth Day –
God created Man
26 Then God said, “LET US MAKE MAN (Adam) IN OUR IMAGE, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
26 Then God said, “LET US MAKE MAN (Adam) IN OUR IMAGE, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
(NIV2011) Genesis
1:26 – Sixth Day – God created Mankind
26 Then God said, “LET US MAKE MANKIND (Adam) IN OUR IMAGE, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
26 Then God said, “LET US MAKE MANKIND (Adam) IN OUR IMAGE, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
(NLT) Genesis
1:26-28 – Sixth Day – God created Human Beings
26 Then God said, “LET US MAKE HUMAN BEINGS (Adam) IN OUR IMAGE, to be like ourselves. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
27 So GOD CREATED HUMAN BEINGS (Eth Ha Adam) in his own image. In the image of GOD HE CREATED THEM; MALE AND FEMALE he created them.
28 Then GOD BLESSED THEM and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”
26 Then God said, “LET US MAKE HUMAN BEINGS (Adam) IN OUR IMAGE, to be like ourselves. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”
27 So GOD CREATED HUMAN BEINGS (Eth Ha Adam) in his own image. In the image of GOD HE CREATED THEM; MALE AND FEMALE he created them.
28 Then GOD BLESSED THEM and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”
Psalm 8:6-8 – Man in charge of animals, birds and
fish
6 YOU GAVE THEM CHARGE OF EVERYTHING YOU MADE, putting all things under their authority —
7 the flocks and the herds and all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and everything that swims the ocean currents. (NLT)

Genesis 1:27 – Man was created BI-SEXUAL; Male and Female
27 So God created man (Adam) in his own image, in the image of God
27 So God created man (Adam) in his own image, in the image of God
HE CREATED HIM;
MALE AND FEMALE he

Genesis 1:29-30 – Nations given food before Adams
generation
29 Then God said, “Look! I have given you EVERY seed-bearing plant throughout the earth AND ALL THE FRUIT TREES for your FOOD.
30 And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened.

30 And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground—everything that has life.” And that is what happened.
31 Then God looked over all
he had made, and he saw that
IT WAS VERY GOOD! And evening passed and morning came, marking THE SIXTH DAY. (NLT)
The Seventh Day
·
There is no suggestion in the Book as
to how long the “beginning” was as God was creating the heavens and the earth.
·
Murray
believes that between Genesis 1:26 and Genesis 2:7 there is a SEPARATION
of time, probably
some TEN THOUSAND YEARS or so.
·
How long was a day during creation? There are certainly lots of thoughts on this
subject from 24 hours to thousands of years with particular attention being
given to the amount of time that passed while Adam named all the animals,
especially since there are about 14,000 different types
of ANTS. - The Book says a day to the
Lord is as a thousand years.
·
I must point out that Adam’s job was
naming the KINDS of animals which
would include all the variations. For
instance ALL those tiny little critters with some that “bite the FIRE
out of you” he named ants; and ALL the
different KINDS of animals that have
a wagging tail, scratches and pees on everything, barks and licks your hand and
gives unconditional love, Adam named DOGS; so it didn’t
really take that long just naming the kinds of
living things.
·
God had created everything;
the heavens, the earth, fish, birds, animals, trees, plants, as well as the FIRST Adam and then He rested from His
work of creation.
·
NEXT He will FORM (not create) a
SECOND Adam; the Godly line
that would eventually bring forth the savior of the World; Jesus the Christ.
Genesis 2:1-3 – God finished His creation work the
6th day
1 So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed.
2 On THE SEVENTH DAY GOD HAD FINISHED HIS WORK OF CREATION, so He rested from all his work.
3 And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation. (NLT)

Lord

Second Adam
·
STRONG’S CONCORDANCE. “Adam”; the Hebrew word meaning man,
any man, mankind, men. “Eth Ha Adam” means a particular man Adam.
Generally “Eth” is used to
point out a definite object. In this
case the
sinless Adam, the bloodline that runs through King David’s
genealogy down to Jesus the Messiah.
·
The second creation scripture says formed, not created. The
Hebrew word “Form” meaning, is to mold
into a form, especially as a Potter.
·
In this account, man was formed first, then
woman and then the animals which is opposite from the first account. – It
goes on to say that the birds of the air were created, but in the first account
they were already created. Murray says
this has be a different Adam.
·
Genesis 2:5 until
this time there were no plants nor people to cultivate the soil.
·
Genesis 2:7 God
formed Adam (Eth Ha Adam) from
the dust of the ground
·
Genesis 2:8 God made a garden
and placed this second Adam into it.
·
Genesis 2:15 NOTE this
specific man was a FARMER
whose job was to tend to the Garden.
·
Genesis 2:18 God
formed the farm livestock and animals and
took them to Adam to name.
·
Genesis 2:22 God
made a woman from one of Adam’s ribs –
Now we have male and female.
·
DID YOU SEE IT? - In the First
Account “man” was FISHERMEN, HUNTERS and GATHERERS, in the second account “man”
was a FARMER. - Sounds like two different “Adams” doesn’t it.
Genesis 2:4-6 – There were no people nor plants
growing
4 This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth. When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens,
5 neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. The LORD God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and

The Take Away
·
Murray presents
a number of controversial subjects in the Genesis account
of creation, and I have chosen to just unpack the Two Adams or the Two
Creations. We all have a Belief System that
we bring to the table and it’s our BS
that determines what we perceive to be TRUTH
in scripture. NYOBS 90.02 - SHEPHERD’S CHAPEL IED
·
In my Belief System, when I crawl into the
scriptures and look around; I watch God bringing Eve to Adam to name, Adam’s
knees become like silly putty as he falls backward exclaiming; WHOA MAN ! - Is
she something AWESOME or what! - That’s when he named her Whoa-Man
and nicknamed her Evie. NYOBS 80.08 – EVE TEMPTED – HUMBLED
- REDEEMED
·
The Last book of the Bible; Revelation,
as we read along, we make a mistake in our understanding because our BS, our Belief System automatically assumes the Book of
Revelation was written in chronological order; but that’s just simply not true.
- To John the revelator, everything is happening all at once and he broadly
writes down what he sees, but then comes back and fills in the details of his
vision. - So some of his chapters are informational chapters only, filling
in with fine details of what he has already said.
·
The First book of the Bible; Genesis has the same thing going on; in chapter
one, the broad picture is painted for us to see and then we are brought
back in chapter two where the picture is overlaid with the fine DETAILS
of the scene that has already been painted.
·
In the FIRST account
the descriptions of creation are looking forward
in time.
·
In the SECOND account
the descriptions are reversed looking backward
in time. That’s why the order of things
seem to conflict with each other. – This
looking back “reversal concept” can be observed in other passages of the Book.
·
The FIRST account
is speaking of man in general, “Adam”, painting the broad picture and
focuses on the development of heaven and
earth
·
The SECOND account
is addressing the specific man, “Eth Ha Adam”, adding
in the details and focuses on the development
of man. - There were NOT two Adams, nor were there other
races or nations created before Adam and Eve; the two accounts are both the
same picture overlaid on top of each other, but now painted with HIGH DEFINITION
details.
·
God makes it clear for us
in the New Testament; from ONE man, God created all the nations and
races throughout the whole earth and Eve is the mother of ALL who live;
we all belong to Adam and Eve.
·
HOWEVER THERE ARE TWO ADAMS;
Jesus the Christ can be traced back umbilical cord to umbilical cord to the First Adam; Jesus Christ is the Second Adam. – In the First Adam,
of the OT, all come that are physically born of woman; in the Second Adam “JESUS”
of the NT, all come that are spiritually born
of the spirit.
·
The Book says to not get involved
in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights
about obedience to Jewish laws. These
things are useless and a waste of time. We
are no longer under the LAW and these things just cause
divisions and hurt among the brethren who still feel bound by parts of the Law.
·
Why do we chase after such
controversial subjects? - Believing one
way or the other does not change our salvation. – I believe Murray means well and loves the Lord, but
he just has a different Belief System.
·
The Berean Jews were commended for
listening to the teachers of the day, then examining the scriptures daily to
see if what was being said was TRUTH. – It’s in the Book -
·
The Book tells
us to work hard so we can present
ourselves to God and receive his approval, to be a good worker, not ashamed of the Gospel, one WHO
CORRECTLY EXPLAINS THE WORD of truth whether it’s convenient or not. - Peter says “those who are ignorant
and unstable
have twisted
his letters to mean something quite different than was intended”; SUCH IS TODAY. - If we haven’t studied a specific subject, then
we can’t correctly explain it.
One
Creation, One Adam, One God, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism.
