Note 878 — Chapter IX · (continued 2)
Reading edition
The term “coats of skin,” is the more suggestive when we learn that the Hebrew word “skin” used in the original text, means human skin. The text says: “And Java Aleim made for Adam and his wife כתנות עור CHITONUT OUR. The first Hebrew word is the same as the Greek χιτων—chiton—coat. Parkhurst defines it as the skin of men or animals ער עור and ערה, OUR, OR, or ORA. The same word is used at Exodus xxxiv. 30, 35, when the skin of Moses “shone” (A. Wilder).
