NASB | Genesis 2:25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 2:25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed or embarrassed. |
Bible Question: I'm curious as to why 'and were not ashamed' is even in this verse. It's as if there existed a situation prior to Adam and Eve in which something shameful was found in being naked. |
Bible Answer: Nakedness existed. God had that knowledge. Adam and Eve did not have that knowledge before they ate of the forbidden fruit, so they did not know. I think it is similar to a child who runs around naked and is not ashamed. The adults know the child is naked, but that doesn't make the child feel shameful. |
