Abstract :
The article shows that the common translation 'tunics of skin' for the garment made by God for 'Adam and his wife' in Gen 3,21 is not tenable. כתנות עור should rather be translated 'tunics for the [naked] skin [of human beings]'. The vegan ideal of complete non-violence in the Garden of Eden is valid until the end of Genesis 3.
