Adam is the first human to speak in the Bible and he doesn't speak until the second chapter of Genesis.

Have you ever thought about the first words spoken by a human in the Bible? God is the first being to speak in the entire Bible, saying with authority and power, “Let there be light” (Genesis 1:3).

However, humans don’t come on the scene until the sixth day of creation. Adam is the first human to be created, but his first words aren’t recorded until Eve is created.

and flesh of my flesh;
she shall be called Woman,
because she was taken out of Man.
Genesis 2:23
