The City of Adam (Hebrew adam ha-ir) is a place which appears in the Bible in the Book of Joshua {{bibleverse-nb|Joshua|3:16|KJV}}, where it is described as standing "beside Zarethan" (Joshua 3:16) on the east bank of the Jordan. It is called also Damia. According to the Book of Joshua, the flow of the water was arrested, and rose up "upon an heap" at the time of the Israelites' passing over. This village includes a number of families that belong to the Abbad clan such as Ramadneh. The land was accordingly owned mainly by the Abbad tribes with land closer to the river belonging to Al Masaeed tribe whose land extends beyond the Jordan to al-Jiftlik and towards the Jericho areas.
