Adamah

Adamah (Biblical Hebrew : אדמה) is a word, translatable as ground or earth, which occurs in the Genesis creation narrative.

[3] After the fall of man, the adamah is duly corrupted with Adam's punishment of lifelong agricultural toil.

[4] In Hebrew, adamah is a feminine form, and the word has strong connections with woman in theology.

[8] In contemporary biblical scholarship there is a general consensus that the words have an etymological relationship, but the exact nature of it is disputed.

[11] The concept could also date back to primitive woman's "birth magic," or the making of clay manikins and anointing them with menstrual blood—the sacred "blood of life"—in order to conceive real children.
