human being
| Morphological Notes | Noun, masculine singular, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun אָדָם denotes a member of the human species, rooted in the idea of earthiness or formation from soil. As a masculine singular absolute noun, it is best rendered generically as "human being," preserving its species-level and individual sense without adding contextual nuance. |

in human being

| Rationale | Adjusted to 'in human being' for the prepositional usage (ב) and to maintain SIBI's preference for rendering אדם as 'human being' rather than 'in man'. |
