Coats Of Skin
In the biblical story of Adam and Eve, coats of skin (, coat of skin) were the aprons provided to Adam and Eve by God when they fell from a state of innocent obedience under God in Christianity, Him to a state of original sin, guilty disobedience. Genesis 3:21 As per the biblical interpretation of Genesis creation narrative, Genesis 3:21, God produced coats of skin for the first man and woman Adam and Eve and clothed them when they were found naked in the Garden of Eden, garden after eating the forbidden fruit. Material The material of coats is not clear; instead, it is dubious. The Bible translates "coats" of skin and "garments" of skin as our mortal skin and animal' skin. Symbolic If clothes were of animal skin, the question arises, who killed the animal and what was that? These ''garments'' of skin are resolved as a symbol of salvation.

Michelangelo Sündenfall
Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (; 6 March 1475 – 18 February 1564), known as Michelangelo (), was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance. Born in the Republic of Florence, his work was inspired by models from classical antiquity and had a lasting influence on Western art. Michelangelo's creative abilities and mastery in a range of artistic arenas define him as an archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and elder contemporary, Leonardo da Vinci. Given the sheer volume of surviving correspondence, sketches, and reminiscences, Michelangelo is one of the best-documented artists of the 16th century. He was lauded by contemporary biographers as the most accomplished artist of his era. Michelangelo achieved fame early; two of his best-known works, the ''Pietà (Michelangelo), Pietà'' and ''David (Michelangelo), David'', were sculpted before the age of thirty.

Ostrich
Ostriches are large flightless birds of the genus ''Struthio'' in the order Struthioniformes, part of the infra-class Palaeognathae, a diverse group of flightless birds also known as ratites that includes the emus, rheas, and kiwis. There are two living species of ostrich: the common ostrich, native to large areas of sub-Saharan Africa and the Somali ostrich, native to the Horn of Africa. The common ostrich was also historically native to the Arabian Peninsula, and ostriches were present across Asia as far east as Mongolia during the Late Pleistocene and possibly into the Holocene. They lay the largest eggs of any living land animal. With the ability to run at 70 km/h (43.5 mph), they are the fastest birds on land. They are farmed worldwide, particularly for their feathers as they are used as decoration and feather dusters. Their skin is also used for leather products. They are the heaviest living birds. Taxonomic history The genus ''Struthio'' was first described b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
