According to Genesis, Adam (Hebrew אָדָם)was the first human being on the planet. The Lord made him out of His own image and loved him even after he disobeyed Him. His wife was named Eve.
Adam lived for 930 years.[1] The Bible mentions that Adam and Eve had two children called Cain and Abel. According to Jewish tradition they had 56 children, but this is not mentioned in the Bible. Christians consider Adam and Eve to be the Mother and Father of the human race, and on that basis they would've had to have had a daughter for Cain or Abel to marry so as to ensure that the human race was true to God's command to be fruitful and to muliply throughout the earth.[2] This was not bad or sinful because this was the pre-Flood world. Mutations had not yet begun to degrade the human genetic code from God's perfect Creation.[3]
