Exegesis
The first noun phrase, ho protos anthropos {ὁ πρῶτος ἄνθρωπος | ho prō-tos án-thrō-pos} “the first man,” is introduced by the prepositional phrase ek gēs khoikos {ἐκ γῆς χοϊκός | ek gēs kho-i-kós}, where the genitive gēs indicates origin “from earth” and the adjective khoikos underscores composition “earthly, made of dust.” Greek omits an explicit verb; English supplies “was.”
Root and etymology
chooschi–omicron–upsilon–sigma
“dust, loose earth”
In context — 1 Corinthians 15:47
The first man was from the earth , made of dust ; the second man is from heaven.
