ELTB TT Man separated from the earth [∞]
Ge 2:7 And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
God loves to play games with words. Adam 'adam' אדם came out of the ground 'he-adamah' האדמה. It might be hard to see the play in writing because the 'm' sound can be represented two ways. It is ם at the end of a word, and מ everywhere else.
Adam was separated from the ground to teach him he was chosen by God for a purpose; he was made holy. He was physically taken from the dust and formed into a man. He was also separated from the ground 'he-adamah' האדמה; the man האדמ who did not understand ה. Adam knew what he was doing. []
