Answer : ADAM
Adam – n
(Old Testament) in Judeo-Christian mythology; the first man and the husband of Eve and the progenitor of the human race
Adam[a] is the name given in Genesis 1-5 to the first human. Beyond its use as the name of the first man, adam is also used in the Bible as a pronoun, individually as “a human” and in a collective sense as “mankind”. Genesis 1 tells of God’s creation of the world and its creatures, including adam, meaning humankind; in Genesis 2 God forms “Adam”, this time meaning a single male human, out of “the dust of the ground”, places him in the Garden of Eden, and forms a woman as his helpmate; in Genesis 3 Adam and the woman eat the fruit of the tree of knowledge and God condemns Adam to labour on the earth for his food and to return to it on his death; Genesis 4 deals with the birth of Adam’s sons, and Genesis 5 lists his descendants from Seth to Noah.
The Genesis creation myth was adopted by both Christianity and Islam, and the name of Adam accordingly appears in the Christian scriptures and in the Quran. He also features in subsequent folkloric and mystical elaborations in later Judaism, Christianity, and gnosticism.
