Romans 5:14

Nevertheless, Mavet (Death) reigned supreme from (the epoch of) Adam until (the epoch of) Moshe Rabbeinu, even over those who did not sin in the very same manner of Adamʼs averah (transgression, disobedience, commandment rebelled against and recorded for death penalty) — that is, Adam who is a tipus (pattern, prophetic type), a demut he'atid (a future figure) of Hu HaBah + 5:14 Isa 59:20; Job 19:25 (“He who comes,” Moshiach the Coming One, the Coming Go'el Redeemer).
