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. The Bible does not mention any specific number of children of Adam--only that he "had sons and daughters."[2] Adam did become the father of another son, named Seth, after he had lived for 130 years.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag 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]
