What are the names of the male and female that God created in Genesis Chapter One.

Adam and Eve

In Genesis chapter 1, the names of the first man & woman are not given, except that God created man (Heb. ha-a-dam) on the sixth day of creation, from which the name Adam is generally applied to this first man.

Then in Genesis chapter 2, God continues to refer to this creation as "man", until verse 19, where God refers to this man as Adam. When the time came to create someone else to be a companion & help to Adam, he created "woman" (Heb. is-sah), to which Adam also referred to her, as she "was taken out of man".

In Genesis 3:20, "And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living". Now Adam refers to is-sah, calling her, Eve (Heb. haw-wah) & through their union, they became as "one flesh".

However, if your question infers whether the creation of mankind in chapter 1 is different from the reference to mankind in the other chapters, then that would be an incorrect deduction, as chapter 1 gives God's Creative Work on the "six days" whereas the other chapters expands on chapter 1 & takes the subsequent events after creation further. Therefore, man & woman in chapter 1 are the same Adam & Eve in chapters 2 & 3.

God created mankind called the gentiles so to speak

Then God created Adam, a special man who's seed line would lead to Abraham and the Israelites in who's seed shall lead to the promised seed Jesus the Christ

2cd Edras 6;54 And after these, Adam also whom thou madest lord of all thy creatures, of him come wee all, and the people also whom thou hast chosen.

55All this haue I spoken before thee, O Lord, because thou madest the world for our sakes.

56As for the other people which also come of Adam, thou hast said that they are nothing, but be like vnto spittle, and hast likened the abundance of them vnto a drop that falleth from a vessell.

Can someone break this down?

If your Bible has center of each page, reference with the little abc's imbedded in the scriptures; which point you to a matching letter in the columns.

It may point you to other scriptures that enhance your scripture you are studying OR it may point you to a prophesy that has been fulfilled or is to be soon fulfilled.

Or you can type your scripture in Google, then type 'commentaries' beside it. Read some of the commentaries and it may help you in your study "of hard sayings".

You may have to search Amazon or

Abebooks dot com to find a better study Bible.

You'll be glad you did.

Mishael

Even IF there was a dual/parallel creation by God, Genesis chapter 6 declares that God would "destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them". Genesis 6:7. "But Noah found grace in the Eyes of the LORD".

So IF all the "creations" of God were destroyed by the flood, bar the "eight souls" ( 1 Peter 3:20), & I'm a Gentile (a part of the first creation & not of Adam's line) & therefore not in the line of Adam - Noah - Abraham - David - Jesus, then in fact, I don't exist.

And IF God's Judgement by the flood was restricted only to Adam's progeny because of their "wickedness being great", then why overlook those "Gentiles" who would also have been wicked because of their sin & not include them in the worldwide destruction - or maybe they were sinless & needed no judgement as we're not told that sin was in them nor passed onto them? Then this might give some added weight to our 'sinless perfection' brethren's argument, sans their need of Christ. The mind starts to boggle indeed. Or, maybe there's a link that I've missed.
