Are Adapa and Adam the same?
34 Here is a direct contrast between Adam and Adapa: Adapa is restrained by Ea from seeking immortality (presumptuously or even accidentally) in the court of Anu; Adam is restrained (unsuccessfully ) from losing it. However, once Adam has lost his immortality, he too must be kept from seeking it anew (Gen 3:22f).
