Well, in modern day hebrew, it would be bimyutzato (I think).  In the more ancient hebrew, I honestly can't remember...sorry!

The name is actually Aramaic, not Hebrew (though the languages are relatives, and Hebrew has, since the time of the Babylonian Exile, used the letter forms of Aramaic).  The -a' ending is a giveaway (it is a common ending in Aramaic noun forms).\n\nAnyway, the Aramaic word is found in the book of Acts, which of course was written in Greek -- in which it looks like this:  Ταβειθα\n\nIn Aramaic letters it probably looks like this\nטביתא\n\n-See also\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aramaic_of_Jesus#Tabitha_.28.CE.A4.CE.B1.CE.B2.CE.B5.CE.B9.CE.B8.CE.B1.29\n\nFor the spelling or transliteration into English letters you cannot do a lot better than "Tabitha" if you are just using ordinary letters.  A more precise transliteration that the first letter is the letter "tet" (rather than the "tau") and there is at the end an aleph. (This letter represents a glottal stop, which we can scarcely pronounce in such a spot in English, though it's approximately the sound you make at the beginning of the word "apple" when you say it all by itself.)   \n\nIn ordinary transciption the tet is marked by a "t" with a dot under it (which I can't find ASCII code to reproduce here!), and the aleph by a raised comma/single quote (`)

No. Lots of Hebrew names for people end in El or in Yah (which is God's name). The word El in a name simply recognizes God, or how the one with the name relates to God. Try looking up the WHOLE meaning of each of these names. For instance, Michael means "who is like God?", and Gabriel means "man of God" or "warrior of God". I don't see any way that this could be taken to mean that the angels themselves are gods.

Adam...who was the first man, was never considered by the Jewish or Christian faiths to be a prophet....( I never heard that one before,..... & I'm older than dirt )  He was created with smarts, but didn't always use them very well.....\n\n......when he fell from fellowship with his Creator....he blamed both God & Eve for his failure...\n\n"THIS WOMAN that YOU gave me, SHE gave me the fruit, and I did eat."\n\nkinda sounds just like us...huh, guys ?

MANKIND ADAM\n\nWe all have read about Cain and Abel (Gen.4:8-17)\nHow Cain slew Abel, and God cursed Cain and drove him out.\nThen Cain said (Gen.4:14) “that every one that findeth me shall slay me”\nWho is Cain worried about?\nThen in (Gen.4:17) And Cain knew his wife\nWhere did Cain find a wife?\n\nThe answer is in the Hebrew text (Gen.1:26 and Gen.2:7).\n\nGen.1:26  And God said, Let us make man in our image, \nafter our likeness: ….\nThe word “man” (Gen.1:26) \nin Hebrew text looks like this ( אדם ) \nwith no article means “MANKIND”\nThe word “man” (Gen.1:26) transliterated is (adam).\n\nGen.2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, ….\nThe word “man” (Gen.2:7) \nin Hebrew text looks like this ( את־האדם ) \nwith article and particle means “THIS SAME MAN ADAM”.\nThe word “man” (Gen.2:7) transliterated is (eth-Ha adham).\n\n\nSo on the sixth day God created or made MANKIND.\n\nOn the eighth day God formed THIS SAME MAN ADAM.

In Judaism, the name of God is more than a distinguishing title. It represents the Jewish conception of the divine nature, and of the relation of God to the Jewish people. In awe at the sacredness of the names of God, and as a means of showing respect and reverence for them, the scribes of sacred texts took pause before copying them, and used terms of reverence so as to keep the true name of God concealed. The various names of God in Judaism represent God as he is known, as well as the divine aspects which are attributed to him.\n\nThe numerous names of God have been a source of debate amongst biblical scholars — some have advanced the variety as proof that the Torah has many authors (see documentary hypothesis), while others declare that the different aspects of God have different names, depending on the role God is playing, the context in which he is referred to and the specific aspects which are emphasized\n\n\nThe most important and most often written name of God in Judaism is the Tetragrammaton, the four-letter name of God. This name is first mentioned in the book of Genesis and is usually translated as 'the LORD'. Because Judaism forbids pronouncing the name outside the Temple in Jerusalem (see below), the correct pronunciation of this name has been lost—the original Hebrew texts only included consonants. Some scholars conject that it was pronounced "Yahweh", but some suggest that it never had a pronunciation (which is extremely unlikely given that it is found as an element in numerous Hebrew names). The Hebrew letters are named Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh: יהוה; note that Hebrew is written from right to left, rather than left to right as in English. In English it is written as YHWH, YHVH, or JHVH depending on the transliteration convention that is used. The Tetragrammaton was written in contrasting Paleo-Hebrew characters in some of the oldest surviving square Aramaic Hebrew texts, and it is speculated that it was, even at that period, read as Adonai, "My Lord", when encountered.\n\nIn appearance, YHWH is the third person singular imperfect of the verb "to be", meaning, therefore, "He is". This explanation agrees with the meaning of the name given in Exodus 3:14, where God is represented as speaking, and hence as using the first person — "I am." It stems from the Hebrew conception of monotheism that God exists by himself, the uncreated Creator who doesn't depend on anything or anyone else; therefore I am who I am.\n\n God is presented as a living God, as contrasted with the lifeless gods of the heathen: God is presented as the source and author of life (compare 1 Kings 18; Isaiah 41:26–29, 44:6–20; Jeremiah 10:10, 14; Genesis 2:7; and so forth)\n\nThe name YHWH is often reconstructed as Yahweh or oftentimes Jehovah in the English language. The name Yahweh is likely to be the origin of the Yao of Gnosticism. A few also think it might be cognate to Yaw of Ugaritic texts. If the Hehs in the Tetragrammaton are seen as sacred augmentation similar to those in Abraham (from Abram) and Sarah (from Sarai), then the association becomes clearer. Though the final Heh in Yahweh would not necessarily have been pronounced in classical Hebrew, the medial Heh would have almost certainly been pronounced. Other possible vocalisations include a mappik in the final Heh, rendering it pronounced — most likely with a gliding Patah (a-sound) before it.\n\nThe prohibition of blasphemy, for which capital punishment is prescribed in Jewish law, refers only to the Tetragrammaton.

Though the forbidden fruit in the book of Genesis (Chap 3:6-7) is not identified, popular European Christian tradition has held that it was an apple that Eve coaxed Adam to share with her. As a result, in the story of Adam and Eve the apple became a SYMBOL for temptation, the fall of man into sin, and sin itself. In Latin, the words for "apple" and for "evil" are similar ("malus" - apple, "malum" - evil). This may be the reason that the apple was interpreted as the biblical "forbidden fruit". The larynx in the human throat has been called Adam's apple because of a notion that it was caused by the forbidden fruit sticking in the throat of Adam.\n\nGenesis 3:6-7, “When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it."\n\nThere is definitely a mention of FRUIT (not toast, to answer  SLEESTACK)\n\nThe ancient Kazakh city of Almaty, 'Father of Apples' owes its name to the forests of wild apples (Malus sieversii) found naturally in the area.  (to answer Fizzygrrrl's and thechinamom's comments)\n\n-----------------\n\nConcerning "swine"\nPig can be translated swine.  Swine is simply a synonym for pig. Swine = Any of various omnivorous, even-toed ungulates of the family Suidae, including pigs, hogs, and boars, having a stout body with thick skin, a short neck, and a movable snout (Amer Heritage Dictionary)\n\n"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to PIGS." (Matt 7:6)\n\n\n.

Love: 'Ahavah (אהבה, pronounced: 'a-ha-vA)\nAffection: Chibah (חיבה, pronounced: chi-bA)\n\n'Ahavah is the most common word in Modern Hebrew for love and the root ['.h.v] is the most used for "loving" words.\nOther roots that are commonly used are [d.v.d] that is the root of words such as "yadid" (friend) and "David" (the name, means "beloved"), and [ch.v.v]- the root of the word "chibah".

The correct answer IS no one.  However, I understand where your confusion comes from.  In Genesis 1 we read an overview of the entire creation.  In verse 27 we see that God created man and woman, but are not given any names.  However, this doesn’t mean that they are not Adam and Eve.  The end of chapter 1 concludes the brief account, or summary if you will, of creation, and chapter 2 then elaborates on some important details.  These include how God created man and woman and their names.  Chapter 2 verse 7 describes the creation of Adam, but we know that it is an elaboration on the creation of man given in 1:27, because in 2:5 it specifically says that there was no man on the earth.  \n\nHope that clears it up a little.\n\n_______________  EDIT _______________\n\nTo James,\n\nI'm afraid you are mistaken about the meaning of the word "man" as it applies to Genesis 1 and 2.  I encourage you to look at the original Hebrew words as it makes it clearer that both chapters refer to the same "man".  It is understandable that some confusion is introduced when translating into English, so it is helpful to look at the original words to determine their meaning both individually and in the context of the surrounding scripture.  For example, the word for "man" is the exact same Hebrew word in both chapter 1 and 2, AND it is essentially the same word as the man's name! ADAM!  And it is a form that is used much more often as a singular form, while a different word (Alef + Yod + Shin) is used more often to indicate MEN - plural.  The word in Genesis 1 & 2 in Hebrew is Alef + Dalet + Mem.  \n\nCheck it our more for yourself -- you'll be surprised how consistent it is with the rest of the Bible's idea that Adam WAS the first man!

Adam was created out of the dust from the ground.  God breathed life into him, and he lived.  But then Adam was alone, and God knew that Adam needed a companion - someone that was just like him, just for him.  So God created Eve out of his rib, to symbolize that man & woman are linked together.  Read the chapter Genesis 2 in a Bible, and it says all this.

AHAHa I must admit I said Moses at first, even though, of course it was Noah. I also tried it on my sister, and she said Moses too. It's funny how it makes you automatically think Moses eh? =D
