God Made Clothes

And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them. Gen 3:21

I have always heard the following explanation of this verse. Because Adam and Eve had sinned, they died spiritually. They also lost the right to be in the Garden of Eden and were cursed in other ways. For example, they had made clothes out of fig leaves, but God sacrificed a lamb; thus, God shed blood and made clothes. This sacrifice of an innocent lamb symbolized what Jesus Christ would do in the distant future. 

Is this what you have heard?

I don't know; it seems like this interpretation is stretching what Moses wrote in the above text. The text says that God made clothes for Adam and his wife from skins. We see no blood, we don't know what kind of skins, nor can I imagine God making an animal sacrifice. Did God have to skin animals to make these clothes? Or could he have just made them like he had everything else in the universe just a little while earlier? 

To think that this sentence from Genesis 3 symbolizes Christ's sacrifice is a nice thought. It is just that I don't see all of the said theology in what Moses wrote. 

We can go so far as to say that when Adam and Eve sinned that they hid because they were naked, which indicates their shamed and need to hide from God. So, when God made clothes, he was concurring that they needed to cover what we call private parts. What was free and liberated before sin suddenly became private after the Fall. Apparently, with this in mind, God made coverings of skins. More than likely because a sewed fig leaf costume would not have lasted too long. 

We want to read the Bible for what it says and not read what we want to see or think it says. Here it simply states that God made clothes.
