Genesis 3:1-24

The provision of physical clothing by God may symbolize the spiritual provisions that God would one day provide. Later, the Bible will often use the concept of "clothing" to refer to spiritual needs. If God's use of the animal "skins" involved the death of the animals (rather than being made from just the fur or hair of the animal, it may symbolize the need for a substitute - the death of something (someone) else - in order that Adam and Eve would not need to be themselves put to death.
