Genesis 3:20-24
God provides covering in the midst of judgment and removes humanity from Eden to uphold His justice and purposes.
20 The man called his wife Eve because she would be the mother of all the living.
21 Yahweh God made garments of animal skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.
22 Yahweh God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand, and also take of the tree of life, and eat, and live forever—”
23 Therefore Yahweh God sent him out from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from which he was taken.
24 So he drove out the man; and he placed cherubim at the east of the garden of Eden, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the way to the tree of life.
God provides covering in the midst of judgment and removes humanity from Eden to uphold His justice and purposes.
To show the immediate aftermath of judgment, including the naming of the woman, God's provision of covering, and the expulsion of humanity from Eden to prevent access to the tree of life.
