Adam

Name means: Red
Parents: N/A
Wife: Eve
Children: Cain, Abel, Seth

Found in: Genesis 1-5

Adam was the first man. He was created out of the soil by God in God's own likeness. God set him in the Garden of Eden and commanded him not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. However, after urging from Eve, Adam did this and as a result the two of them were banished from the garden. After this, Adam and Eve had many children and did as God has commanded: "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."

Genesis 2:7 - And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
