Provider-God Not Only Provided Clothing, But Also Implemented That A Blood Sacrifice Would Be The Payment For Sin.
Because Adam and Eve had sinned and had eaten from the Tree of knowledge.
They realize that they were naked and when God came into the garden they hid themselves
Animals had to die so that they could be clothed, this is where I believe the blood sacrifice started.
Something has to die to pay for the penalty of sin.
Remember they had sewn fig leaves together to cover themselves but that was a temporary fix
Genesis 3:21-Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made tunics of skin, and clothed them. (NKJV)
Genesis 3:21-And the LORD God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife.(NLT)
