This article incorporates text from Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897), a publication now in the public domain.
Admah (or Adamah - earth) was one of the pentapolis of the Vale of Siddim.[1] It was destroyed along with Sodom and Gomorrah.[2] It is supposed by some[who?] to be the same as the "Adam" of Joshua 3:16, the name of which still lingers in Damieh, a ford of the Jordan river.
