If we are created naked and unashamed in the garden, then what has happened that
Adam now feels the need to hide himself and cloth himself with fig leaves? The word
that is translated as coverings in verse 7 is the Hebrew word חֲג ֹ ר ָ ה chăgôrâh a belt (for
the waist): - apron, armour, gird (-le). It can be something we bind about ourselves to
carry a weapon, so a garment of war, which gives us the image of armour. Why was
this loincloth made from figs? Figs are a prolific green fruit that hide among the leaves
making them difficult to see.
 
Genesis 3:6-11 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was
pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate.
She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both of them
were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together
and made themselves coverings.
And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day,
and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the
trees of the garden.
9 Then the LORD God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?”
10 So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked;
and I hid myself.”
11 And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of
which I commanded you that you should not eat?”
Was this the same belt of truth we see in the Armour of God from Ephesians 6:14?
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of
righteousness, No, this chagorat was a garment to cover his shame! Adam was now
feeling shame not righteousness! Their eyes had been opened to good and evil. What
God had created as very good was now corrupted with good AND evil. Clearly Adam
was trying to hide himself and his wife. These pictures all point to the hiding. Verse 10
said they were hiding from Yehovah for they were afraid. The word Chaba means hide,
and it is a chet, a fence, and a bet the house or the tent, at it’s root. Adam and Eve
were putting up a wall between themselves and Yehovah by putting on these Chagorot.
They were attempting to save themselves within this refuge of the loin cloth.
Genesis 3:22 Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to
know good and evil. How does this sentence read in Luo? Is it the same as how my
English reads? If I take the Hebrew words and translate them literally it says man has
become united with the intimacy of good and evil. True Yehovah knows all things - and
that includes Good and Evil - but to translate this to say that our eyes open to evil as
well as good makes us more like Yehovah is a bit misleading - it suggests that this
action is better than how they were created on the 6th day - when Yehovah said they
were made very good.
