Adamah - Ground (אדה) This word comes from the parent root "dem" meaning blood (one of the ten plagues remembered at Pesach), and also gives us "adam" meaning "to be red" from the rich red-coloured soil of Israel. Adam translated as "man" in our Bibles. Adam was taken from the adamah (ground) and his dem (blood) will return to the adamah

( masc., אדם / a-dam)
