| Hosea 6:7
| But they, like Adam, have transgressed the covenant, there have they dealt treacherously against me.
| Adam. A compact was made with him, that if he continued faithful or otherwise, his posterity should be born in original justice or sin. (Haydock) --- He transgressed, and was expelled from paradise, as the Jews were from their land. Septuagint, "like a man:" like any who had not been so highly favoured with the law, etc. (Calmet) --- Adam means "a man," and sometimes it would be as well rendered in this sense. (Haydock)
