Hello! In Genesis 3:6-11, the first recorded effect of Adam and Eve's sin is that they realized they were naked. Because of this, they sewed fig leaves together to make loincloths, but this isn't considered enough, and their dialogue with God reveals they were still naked. Instead, in Genesis 3:21, God made them tunics of skin.
While there are many contrasts that can be drawn between the fig-leaf loincloths and the tunics of skin, does the text suggest that the fig leaves were unable to cover nakedness (since it still suggests Adam and Eve were naked in Genesis 3:10)? Thanks!
