Did You Know?

   In the original Hebrew translations, Adam and Eve did not have names.

Genesis  2:19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought [them] unto Adam to see what he would call them: and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that [was] the name thereof. (KJV).  This is where the name 'Adam' first appears in the Bible.

    Now the Hebrew version/translation:

... and-he-is-bringing  to  the-human   to-see   what   he-shall-call    to-him   and-all   which   he-is-calling   to-him   the-human    soul-of   living     he  name-of-him

  Here is the Hebrew translated so that it makes more sense to us, with the Hebrew writing first:

éè åÇéÌÄöÆø éÀäåÈä àÁìÉäÄéí îÄï-äÈàÂãÈîÈä, ëÌÈì-çÇéÌÇú äÇùÌÒÈãÆä åÀàÅú ëÌÈì-òåÉó
äÇùÌÑÈîÇéÄí, åÇéÌÈáÅà àÆì-äÈàÈãÈí, ìÄøÀàåÉú îÇä-éÌÄ÷ÀøÈà-ìåÉ; åÀëÉì àÂùÑÆø
éÄ÷ÀøÈà-ìåÉ äÈàÈãÈí ðÆôÆùÑ çÇéÌÈä, äåÌà ùÑÀîåÉ. 

 19 And out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field, and every fowl of the air; and brought them unto the man to see what he would call them; and whatsoever the man would
call every living creature, that was to be the name thereof.
