ad´ma ( אדמה , 'adhmāh ): From a root signifying red; one of the Cities of the Plain (Ciccar) (Genesis 10:19; Genesis 14:2 , Genesis 14:8; Deuteronomy 29:23; Hosea 11:8 ) upon which Abraham and Lot looked from the heights of Bethel; destroyed with Sodom and Gomorrah. Conder tentatively identifies it with the City of Adam referred to in Joshua 3:16 , and thinks that perhaps the name may be preserved in that of Damieh Ford, near the mouth of the river Jabbok; but that point could not have been in view from Bethel. See VALE OF SIDDIM .
