And Clothed Them - Genesis 3:20-21

Genesis 3:20-21 ESV 
The man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.

Eve means life giver. It is through her body that the living would come. It is through Christ's body that the living would finally arrive. 

Adam and Eve were clothed in garments of skin. This points to the sacrifices to come that would help to cover their sins. The skins did cover their nakedness in addition to speaking to what God was doing. 

Later, He would clothe them in garments of righteousness, the righteousness that comes only from God.
