Mythology of Greek

Hi, My name is Angela. I'm live in South Korea.

I don't know exactly meaning in a story of Pandora.

Woman was not yet made. The story (absurd enough!) is that Jupiter (Zeus) made her, and sent her to Prometheus and his brother, to punish them for their presumption in stealing fire from heaven; and man, for accepting the gift. The first woman was named Pandora. She was made in heaven, every god contributing something to perfect her. Venus gave her beauty, Mercury persuasion, Apollo music, etc. Thus equipped, she was conveyed to earth, and presented to Epimetheus, who gladly accepted her, though cautioned by his brother to beware of Jupiter and his gifts.
Epimetheus had in his house a jar, in which were kept certain noxious articles for which, in fitting man for his new abode, he had had no occasion.

In the last sentence, what is an exact meaning of adobe?
In my opinion, adobe is a mankind which was made by Epimetheus.
However, some translation translated that a house.
In addition, I don't know what in fitting man means.

Please help me !!!
