As for Genesis...

Adam, in that time was pronounced,

Adom' .. which meant 'man' and not 'a man'

And (unrelated to Genesis).. Mary was originally referred to as 'amah' .. which has several definitions such as maiden, house maid, wet nurse.. among others.. but nowhere was 'virgin' included in the definition..

The 'virgin' deal replaced 'amah' by someone thinkin that 'virgin' would have more impact apparently...
