In parts of africa they call what we would say is an adolescent, an adult.
True, but what's your point?
None of your posts on this thread make any sense to me at all.
I don't understand this either, the heading says "Biblical definition of Man/Woman
At what point is a person a man/woman according to the Bible?

Jewish practice was to regard puberty as an important factor, especially for girls.
For men 20 years old (Exodus 30:14) and 30 years old (Numbers 4:3) were important maturity milestones.
20 isnt the age of accountability.
I didn't say it was. I said that, for men 20 years old (Exodus 30:14) and 30 years old (Numbers 4:3, 1 Chronicles 23:3) were important maturity milestones. For example:
You might be accountable at age 13, but not mature enough to be a king.
- Joseph was thirty years old when he entered the service of Pharaoh
- Saul was thirty years old when he became king
- David was thirty years old when he became king
- Jesus was about thirty years old when He began His ministry
Biologically, an adult is a human or other organism that has reached sexual maturity. In human context, the term adult additionally has meanings associated with social and legal concepts. In contrast to a "minor", a legal adult is a person who has attained the age of majority and is therefore regarded as independent, self-sufficient, and responsible. The typical age of attaining adulthood is 18, although definition may vary by legal rights and country.
A maturity mildstone doesnt make one adult.Adult - Wikipedia
