I wonder when God clothed Adam and Eve with skins was this the skins of animals. Was this our outer covering.

To me the covering for Adam and Eve was made from animal skins, hence the first blood sacrifice.

Donna, my understanding is that Adam & Eve had natural skin just as we have (the epidermis, dermis & hypodermis), yet prior to their downfall into sin, that skin, as all their organs, would have never corrupted to bring on sickness, disease or death.

With the inception of sin into their lives, their conviction of it, & subsequent attempt to hide from God, showed that that sin also brought the sense of bodily shame, which they never had before. The eyes & minds of those once pure & holy were now subject to the effects of sin, & one of those effects was the sense of shame & need for covering. They initially used fig leaves for covering but the Lord gave them something more durable by way of animal skins. And this in the larger picture showed them that animals could now also be killed, whether for their skin/fur value or later on, in sacrifice & for food.

Yes, animal skins.

Thank you i wondered if the covering they had was eternal without corruption and then the body was to return to dust and the animals returneb to dust since they were formed from the earth was this skin out on and taken off ir was it actually skin that they wore that was take to the ground to teturn to dust.,thank you so much for your responce. Blessings
