Sanhedrin 38B

גופו מבבל, וראשו מארץ ישראל, ואבריו משאר ארצות. עגבותיו, אמר רב אחא: מאקרא דאגמא.

his torso was fashioned from dust taken from Babylonia, and his head was fashioned from dust taken from Eretz Yisrael, the most important land, and his limbs were fashioned from dust taken from the rest of the lands in the world. With regard to his buttocks, Rav Aḥa says: They were fashioned from dust taken from Akra De’agma, on the outskirts of Babylonia.

אמר רבי יוחנן בר חנינא: שתים עשרה שעות הוי היום. שעה ראשונה ⁠– הוצבר עפרו, שניה ⁠– נעשה גולם, שלישית ⁠– נמתחו אבריו, רביעית ⁠– נזרקה בו נשמה, חמישית ⁠– עמד על רגליו, ששית ⁠– קרא שמות, שביעית ⁠– נזדווגה לו חוה, שמינית ⁠– עלו למטה שנים וירדו ארבעה, תשיעית ⁠– נצטווה שלא לאכול מן האילן, עשירית ⁠– סרח, אחת עשרה ⁠– נידון, שתים עשרה ⁠– נטרד והלך לו, שנאמר: ״אדם ביקר בל ילין״.

R' Yoḥanan bar Ḥanina says: Daytime is 12 hours long, and the day Adam the first man was created was divided as follows: In the 1st hour of the day, his dust was gathered. In the second, an undefined figure was fashioned. In the third, his limbs were extended. In the 4th, a soul was cast into him. In the fifth, he stood on his legs. In the 6th, he called the creatures by the names he gave them. In the 7th, Eve was paired with him. In the 8th, they arose to the bed two, and descended 4, i.e., Cain and Abel were immediately born. In the 9th, he was commanded not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge. In the tenth, he sinned. In the 11th, he was judged. In the 12th, he was expelled and left the Garden of Eden, as it is stated: “But man abides not in honor; he is like the animals that perish” (Psalms 49:13). Adam did not abide, i.e., sleep, in a place of honor for even one night.

אמר רמי בר חמא: אין חיה רעה שולטת באדם אלא אם כן נדמה לו כבהמה, שנאמר: ״נמשל כבהמות נדמו״.

Rami bar Ḥama says in explanation of the end of that verse: A wild animal does not have power over a person unless that person seems to the wild animal like an animal, as it is stated: “He is like the animals that perish.”
