And I said in a patriarchal society you don't have to be biologically linked to someone to be considered their descendent. If you want to understand what the Bible is saying, don't apply your own values, apply those of the scripture seen throughout it. I gave the example of Gentiles which were accepted as descendents of Jacob and incorporated into ethnic Israel despite having no biological connection to Jacob. Just like Jacob was a patriarch, so was Adam. We can be considered his descendents without being biologically related.
