Adam White & Ruddy

 

Caucasians refer to them self as white people today; however, in the past they referred to their completion as ruddy.  The English word ‘ruddy’ comes from the old English root word ‘rud’ which means ‘redness’.  Ruddy is an adjective to describe the face, fire, or the sky.  The old English word ‘rud’ is a noun that means redness or blush and used as a verb means ‘to become red’. The old English word ‘rud’ comes from the Proto-Germanic word rudāną which means ‘to be red’.

1919 Painting of Adam

 

Adam was created from the dust of the red ground.  The word ‘adam’ comes from the block Hebrew word aw-dawm (H120) which means ruddy.  Adam originates from the block Hebrew word adom (H119) meaning to be red (ruddy), to show blood in the face, to flush or turn rosy.  Therefore according to the block Hebrew Adam was formed from red soil.

 

“And the Lord God formed man [ha·'a·dam, H120 same as Adam] of the dust of the ground [ha·'a·da·mah, soil (from its general redness)], and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man [ha·'a·dam, H120 Adam] became a living soul.” KJV Gen 2:7

 

 

The Latin Vulgate shows that Adam was a man formed from mud or slime from the earth.  The Douay Rheims bible that was translated from the Latin Vulgate chose the word slime that typically comes from bitumen which comes from a burning flame.  This implies that Adam’s face or countenance was made red.

 

“And the Lord God formed man of the slime [Soft, moist earth or clay, with an adhesive quality like bitumen that is burning with bright flame] of the earth: and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul.” DR Gen 2:7

 

“formavit igitur Dominus Deus hominem [from hemo; earthling or earth (soil) man] de limo [mud, slime] terrae [dry land, earth, soil] et inspiravit [breath, blow] in faciem [face, countenance, visage] eius spiraculum vitae et factus est homo in animam viventem” LV Gen 2:7

 

The ancient Greek implies man’s face with a heap of lose dirt.  It was loose dirt that was poured into a heap. It does not indicate the color. 

 

“And God formed the man [G444 ἄνθρωπος (anthrōpos); two words ‘aner’ man & ‘ops’ face, manfaced] of dust [G522 χόος (choos); a heap (as poured out), lose dirt] of the earth [G1093 γῆ (gē); the earth, soil, land], and breathed upon his face the breath of life, and the man became a living soul.” Sep Gen 2:7 

 

Based on this verse we know that Adam was created with a red face. We are told in the verse below that Adam was made with in the image of our Father in Heaven and our Father gave Adam his name which means ruddy (H119 adom above).

 

“This is the genealogy of men in the day in which God made Adam; in the image of God he made him: male and female he made them, and blessed them; and he called his name Adam, in the day in which he made them.” Sep Gen 5:1-2

 

The bible tells us that Noah was a perfect representation of his race and the Book of Noah tells us that he was white and red as a rose.

 

“But Noe found grace before the Lord God. And these are the generations of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation [genea; race, stock, family], Noe was well-pleasing to God. And Noe begot three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.” Sep Gen 6:9-11

 

“And his body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose and the hair of his head and his long locks were white as wool, and his eyes beautiful.” The Book of Noah 106

 

King David was a direct descendant of both Adam and Noah and his face or countenance was described as red or ruddy.

“And he sent and fetched him: and he was ruddy [G4449 πυῤῥάζω (purrhazō): I am red, fire-colored], with beauty of eyes, and very goodly to behold. And the Lord said to Samuel, Arise, and anoint David, for he is good.” Sep 1Sa 16:12 

 

“He sent therefore and brought him Now he was ruddy [rufus] and beautiful to behold, and of a comely face. And the Lord said: Arise, and anoint him, for this is he.” DR 1 Sa 16:12

 

“misit ergo et adduxit eum erat autem rufus [red, reddish, ruddy] et pulcher aspectu decoraque facie et ait Dominus surge ungue eum ipse est enim” LV 1 Sa 16:12

 

“And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy [H132 admoni; red, ruddy], and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the Lord said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he.” KJV 1 Sa 16:12

 

Here are two more verses describing King David with a ruddy countenance and white skin just as Noah was described.

 

“And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a fair countenance.” Sep 1Sa 17:42 

 

“Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.” Sep Psa 51:7 

 

Here are two more verses describing Israelites as white and ruddy:

 

“My kinsman is white and ruddy, chosen out from myriads.” Sep Son 5:10 

 

“Her Nazarites were made purer than snow, they were whiter than milk, they were purified as with fire, their polishing was superior to sapphire stone.” Sep Lam 4:7 

 

The only race that is considered white with a ruddy face is the Caucasian race.  Caucasians have sunburnt faces, blush and rosy red checks.  Mongoloids and Asians have always been known to have yellow skin.  The dark skinned Asian Indian state they are ‘red man’ but they come from Asians where they are known as ‘yellow man’ and not the true ‘red man’.

The Phoenicians also referred to themselves as ‘blood red’ and identified themselves as being red.

 

“Both the 9th and 11th editions of the Encyclopedia Britannica, in the article “Phoenicia”, explain that the word is properly derived from φοινός (phoinos), as any Greek scholar should find plainly evident. Liddell & Scott define φοινός as “blood-red”. I must assert that term is therefore a Greek translation of the Hebrew adam (Strong’s #’s 119-122), which the Israelites consistently used to describe themselves throughout their own books written during this same period!” from https://christogenea.org/essays/classical-biblical-records-identifying-phoenicians

 

 

Wiktionary shows the Greek word φοῖνῐξ• phoenix means either purple or crimson.  Crimson is a blue red color like blood is.

Our Caucasian ancestor’s referred to themselves as white as snow with a rosy, ruddy, or red face.  We are the one and only ‘red man’.  We use to do more outside or farm work where our skin would even be redder looking from day to day and glow with radiance. The other races must admire our rosy cheeks therefore blush was invented.  To be ruddy is the look of good health.
