Teaching - Garments

Garments represent works

From the time that God gave Adam and Eve garments made from the skins [1] of sheep [2], garments have represented works.

The hand is also a symbol of works. Fingertips pas פס represent the distinct works. Joseph 'colourful coat' was a tunic of pasim, or 'distinguishing' works. [3] [4] Elijah and Elisha shared the mantle as a symbol of sharing the same work. [5]

The garments Adam made from leaves did not cover his sin, but the garment of skin owr עור that God gave him was a garment representing the works of Christ. Jesus was the Light of the world. [6] The word 'light' owr אור is the same sound as 'skin'. God gave Adam a garment representing the works and Light of Christ.

  1. ↑ Ge 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the LORD God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
  2. ↑ How do we know it was sheep?
  3. ↑ Ge 37:3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he [was] the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of [many] colours.
  4. ↑ Joh 19:23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took his garments, and made four parts, to every soldier a part; and also [his] coat: now the coat was without seam, woven from the top throughout.
  5. ↑ 2Ki 2:13 ¶ He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
  6. ↑ Joh 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.

Adam and Eve's works, in making garments of leaves was insufficient to cover their nakedness (representing sin) before God. They made their aprons from fig leaves. Fig also means lying; their garments teased of a covering, but it was a lie.

Leaves is the word allah עלה, that may sound familiar. It means ascend, burnt offering, and halocaust. They had made a lying allah in the flesh [1]. They were attempting to do works to cover their sin.

This insufficiency is made clear again in how much of their nakedness was covered. They made aprons [2] or loin clothes. God made tunics [3] for them from skins. We can try to cover our sin by making amends, but the offense is still a stain. We require the tunics of God.

  1. ↑ Whenever you see the ayin ע in a word, that word is related tot he flesh.
  2. ↑ apron חגור - places of concealment חגו revealed ר.
  3. ↑ tunic כתנת - like כ the Son of man נ from his beginning purpose to his end ת()ת
There are several words used for generic 'garments'. One is used for the clothing of the priests called beged בגד or garments of deceit. They were costumes to show that they were playing a role as a type of Christ. The sacrifices did not give grace; [1] but a promise of grace through the cross. [2]
  1. ↑ Heb 10:1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
  2. ↑ Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of [them], and embraced [them], and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
Theologians tell us that Adam was cursed by God as he was thrown out of the garden. He wasn't. The ground was cursed. [1] There was no reason for Adam to be cursed. The tree was a symbol of God's holiness. It was set apart as 'dinner theater' so that Adam could learn that God is Holy. Adam didn't learn from lesson one, so he was further separated from God as he was put out of the garden. [2]
  1. ↑ Ge 3:17 ¶ And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life;
  2. ↑ Ge 3:23 Therefore the LORD God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Eve's transgression was that she was deceived to think that we are like animals; she thought that anything we do must be good because God made us that way. The garments were a perpetual reminder that we are more than animals. Pain in childbirth was also not a curse, but a vivid reminder that she was not an animal, since pain is generally not associated with bearing young by animals.
