Midras Yesaya 44:13: Midrash Aggadah & Bereshit Rabbah

חָרַ֣שׁ עֵצִים֮ נָ֣טָה קָו֒ יְתָאֲרֵ֣הוּ בַשֶּׂ֔רֶד יַעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ בַּמַּקְצֻע֔וֹת וּבַמְּחוּגָ֖ה יְתָאֳרֵ֑הוּ וַֽיַּעֲשֵׂ֙הוּ֙ כְּתַבְנִ֣ית אִ֔ישׁ כְּתִפְאֶ֥רֶת אָדָ֖ם לָשֶׁ֥בֶת בָּֽיִת׃

Tukang kayu merentangkan tali pengukur dan merapikannya dengan gergaji; ia mengerjakannya dengan pahat-pahat dan membuat garis lingkarannya dengan jangka; ia membuatnya menurut rupa seorang laki-laki, seperti keindahan manusia, untuk tinggal di dalam rumah.

Midrash Aggadah

And God called them Humanity. From here, the woman called is called human, and similarly it says "human beauty to dwell in a shrine." (Isaiah 44:13)

Bereshit Rabbah

That is what is written: “I have passed by the field of an indolent man [ish] and the vineyard of a person [adam] lacking heart” (Proverbs 24:30) – Rav Huna said: If someone bought a field and bought a vineyard, he is called ish and he is called adam,9Which are terms of respect. yet he is also called “indolent” – what good is he? Rather, “I have passed by the field of an indolent man” – this is Adam the first man.10He was indolent in his failure to show remorse after his sin. “And the vineyard of a person [adam] lacking heart” – this is Eve. Rav Huna said: Where have we found that Eve was called adam? “Like the splendor of a person [adam], to sit in a house” (Isaiah 44:13).11She is the housewife (see Targum there). “And behold, it was all overgrown with thistles” (Proverbs 24:31) – “thorns and thistles it will grow for you” (Genesis 3:18). “Its surface covered with nettles” (Proverbs 24:31) – “by the sweat of your brow you shall eat bread” (Genesis 3:19). “And its stone fence destroyed” (Proverbs 24:31) – “the Lord God sent him out of the Garden of Eden” (Genesis 3:23). When He sent him away, He began lamenting over him: “The Lord God said: Behold, the man was as one of us” – he had been like one of us.12But has now brought about his own downfall.
