Biblical History of Black Mankind, Ch. 1, Pg. 5, C. McGhee Livers:
WHO WAS ADAM?:
"The Hebrew word for Adam is "Adham". This word is phonetically pronounced "Ad-ham".
In Biblical days a name said alot about an individual. According to the Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew lexicon; pg. 10,
the word Adham means dusky, tawny, having dark skin, swarthy, shadowy. It also means mankind.
Adham's name said alot about them. They were shadowy meaning they looked like a shadow.
They were dusky, tawny, or swarthy; meaning they had dark skin. They were mankind made in the "likeness" of God
Out of them came every nation and people on the face of the earth.
[NOTE: "Made in the likeness of" denotes appearance, so even though there were spiritual aspects, there was also physical appearance.
Adam was a Negro man, as i'll prove shortly the Messiah is too].
Biblical History Of Black Mankind, ch. 2, pages 10-13, By C. McGhee Livers:
(Pg. 10) THE SKIN OF ADAM:
-- God in His plural measure (masc. and fem.) formed or tightly fitted Adham From the dust of the Ground.
The Hebrew word text literally reads "Of dust from the ground" (aphar min-ha adhamah).
The word of God indicates that Adam was formed "of dust". The Hebrew word for "dust" ('aphar) tells us alot
more than has been translated in our Bibles. This word means dust, clay, mould (Davidson; Analy. Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon).
Dust indicates the surface area of the ground. Clay tells us that the dust was not a sandy dirt but a clay dirt.
Clay dirt can formed where as sandy dirt cannot. Mould is a soil rich in humus. Humus is the decomposition of plants, animals, and weathered rock
which causes the soil to be very fertile. Because Mould is rich in humus, it is always "Black" or "very dark brown" in color.
-- Reddish, sandy soil is low in humus, and silty clay soil is high in humus (Prentice Hall Science Textbook; pg. 443).
Soil rich in humus is called mould. Rendering the following revised and detailed translation (RDT);
God is His plural measure (Masc. and Fem.) formed or tightly fitted Adham of black clay soil from the ground.
The preposition from in Hebrew syntax indicates a portion of. God did not use the entire ground but only a portion of the ground,
a particular region of land. The word Ground is translated from the Hebrew word HA-ADHAMAH, which means "the region",
the land, or the country. The Hebrew word ADHAMAH is only used to identify a specific region upon the earth. Namely the region of Adham's dwelling.
(Pg. 11) ETYMOLOGY OF THE WORD "ADHAM":
-- The etymology of the word Adham has been controversial among scholars. Many scholars have concluded that the origin of the word points
to "Red Skinned" (Alluding that white skin with red blood gives a ruddy tone). Yet its true origin and definition are found in Genesis 2:7.
The origin of Adham's skin was from the land (adhamah). The word adhamah (land) comes from the word Adham.
It is simply the word "Adham" with the feminine AH ending suffixed to it.
-- Even today Africa is spoken of in the feminine: calling it "The Mother Land". although a part of the soil in the country from which Adam
was made has red soil, the text is clear in indicating that Adam was made from the "Aphar ha adhamah",
Black clay soil of the land. therefore the etymology of the word "Adham" is made clear by the soil used to form the first man.
Therefore rendering the word "Adham" to mean "DARK or BLACK SKINNED" referring to the Aphar (Black Clay Soil) of the Adhamah (land).
The word that means red-skinned is ADHOM, not ADHAM.
