Where did the\u00a0“skins” come from that God used to cloth Adam and Eve? Genesis 3:20-21. Did this skin come from an animal? Wouldn’t this action by God be considered the\u00a0“first” sacrifice?<\/p>\n
Please clarify. Thank you.<\/p>\n\t
After God issued the punishments to Adam and Eve for their sin, he took animal skins and made tunics for the man and woman (Genesis 3:21). It would not be considered a sacrifice because it was God who collected the skin, not man. Nothing was offered up to God.<\/p>\n\t
Wow! I like that, but what was the first sacrifice then?<\/p>\n\t
We don’t know what the first sacrifice was, but the first recorded sacrifices were those made by Cain and Abel in Genesis 4:3-5.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
