Genesis 5:2
βMale and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 5Meaning
Male and female are both included in humanity's creation and blessing, and the text speaks of them together under the human name.
Read carefully
The verse restates the creation account; it should be interpreted in its literary context rather than recruited as a complete treatment of every later question about sex and gender.
Reflection
The genealogy begins by locating human identity in shared creaturehood and divine blessing before any individual lineage is traced.
