3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
This is several levels of strange.
First, God takes a break for punishing Adam and his wife, and instead gives them gifts.
Second, it presents a particularly odd image of God sitting on a log, sewing coats.
Third, it suggests that some random animals were slaughtered at this point, but doesn't mention them.
Fourth, it again ignores the leaf aprons; they apparently don't count as clothing.
Fifth, it refers to Eve as "his wife" immediately after she got her name.

Wait is this after they ate the fruit off the three?
ReplyDeleteAnd also if he wanted to teach them a lesson, why would he give them clothes?
Yeah, the serpent talked to Eve, Eve at the fruit, Adam ate the fruit, God found out, God punished the serpent, God punished Eve, God punished Adam, God gave them gifts and then threw them out of Eden.
