6. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Earth
   (1.) In the sense of soil or ground, the translation of the word
   _adamah'_. In Gen. 9:20 "husbandman" is literally "man of the
   ground or earth." Altars were to be built of earth (Ex. 20:24).
   Naaman asked for two mules' burden of earth (2 Kings 5:17),
   under the superstitious notion that Jehovah, like the gods of
   the heathen, could be acceptably worshipped only on his own
   soil.
   
     (2). As the rendering of _'erets_, it means the whole world
   (Gen. 1:2); the land as opposed to the sea (1:10). _Erets_ also
   denotes a country (21:32); a plot of ground (23:15); the ground
   on which a man stands (33:3); the inhabitants of the earth (6:1;
   11:1); all the world except Israel (2 Chr. 13:9). In the New
   Testament "the earth" denotes the land of Judea (Matt. 23:35);
   also things carnal in contrast with things heavenly (John 3:31;
   Col. 3:1, 2).
