It is a recurring theme that appears in various contexts, from the innocence of Adam and Eve before the Fall to the shame associated with sin and judgment. Creation and the Fall In the Genesis account, Adam and Eve were created naked and felt no shame (<a href="/genesis/2-25.htm">Genesis 2:25</a>: "And the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed"). This state of innocence and purity was disrupted by the Fall. After eating from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, their eyes were opened, and they realized their nakedness, leading to feelings of shame and the need to cover themselves with fig leaves (<a href="/genesis/3-7.htm">Genesis 3:7</a>: "Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; so they sewed together fig leaves and made coverings for themselves"). This act of covering themselves signifies the loss of innocence and the entrance of sin into the human experience. Nakedness and Shame Throughout the Bible, nakedness is often associated with shame and disgrace. In the prophetic literature, nakedness is used metaphorically to describe the exposure and humiliation of nations due to their sins. For example, in <a href="/isaiah/47-3.htm">Isaiah 47:3</a>, Babylon's downfall is depicted with the imagery of nakedness: "Your nakedness will be uncovered, and your shame will be exposed. I will take vengeance; I will spare no one" . Similarly, Ezekiel uses the imagery of nakedness to describe the judgment and exposure of Israel's sins (<a href="/ezekiel/16-37.htm">Ezekiel 16:37</a>: "Therefore, I will gather all the lovers with whom you took pleasure—all those you loved and all those you hated. I will gather them against you from every side, and I will strip you naked before them, and they will see all your nakedness"). Nakedness and Vulnerability Nakedness also represents vulnerability and the need for divine protection. In the New Testament, Jesus speaks of the care for the naked as an act of righteousness and compassion. In <a href="/matthew/25-36.htm">Matthew 25:36</a>, He says, "I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you looked after Me; I was in prison and you visited Me" . This highlights the call for believers to care for those in need, reflecting God's love and provision. Spiritual Nakedness The concept of spiritual nakedness is addressed in the letters to the churches in Revelation. The church of Laodicea is admonished for its spiritual complacency and is counseled to buy white garments to cover its shameful nakedness (<a href="/revelation/3-18.htm">Revelation 3:18</a>: "I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich; white garments so that you may be clothed and your shameful nakedness not exposed; and salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see"). This passage underscores the need for spiritual vigilance and the covering of Christ's righteousness. Cultural and Legal Aspects In the cultural context of the Bible, nakedness was often associated with poverty and destitution. The Law of Moses included provisions to protect the dignity of individuals, such as the prohibition against taking a widow's garment in pledge (<a href="/deuteronomy/24-17.htm">Deuteronomy 24:17</a>: "Do not deny justice to the foreigner or the fatherless, and do not take a widow’s cloak as security"). This reflects the importance of maintaining personal dignity and the community's responsibility to care for the vulnerable. Conclusion Nakedness in the Bible is a multifaceted concept that encompasses themes of innocence, shame, vulnerability, and spiritual awareness. It serves as a powerful metaphor for the human condition and the need for redemption and divine covering.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.

The privy parts; the genitals.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>NAKED; NAKEDNESSna'-ked, na'-ked-nes: "Naked" in the Old Testament represents various derivatives of `ur and `arah chiefly, `arom (adj.) and `erwah (noun); in the New Testament the adjective is gumnos, the noun gumnotes, with verb gumneteuo, in <a href="/1_corinthians/4-11.htm">1 Corinthians 4:11</a>. In <a href="/exodus/32-25.htm">Exodus 32:25</a> <a href="/2_chronicles/28-19.htm">2 Chronicles 28:19</a>, the King James Version adds para`, "break loose," "cast away restraint." Both the Greek and Hebrew forms mean "without clothing," but in both languages they, are used frequently in the sense of "lightly clad" or, simply, "without an outer garment." So, probably, is the meaning in <a href="/john/21-7.htm">John 21:7</a> -Peter was wearing only the chiton (see DRESS); and so perhaps in <a href="/mark/14-51.htm">Mark 14:51, 52</a> and <a href="/micah/1-8.htm">Micah 1:8</a>. In <a href="/isaiah/20-2.htm">Isaiah 20:2-4</a>, however, the meaning is literally (for the "three years" of <a href="/isaiah/20-3.htm">Isaiah 20:3</a> see the commentaries). So in <a href="/genesis/2-25.htm">Genesis 2:25</a>; <a href="/genesis/3-7.htm">Genesis 3:7</a>, where the act of sin is immediately followed by the sense of shame (see Delitzsch, Biblical Psychology, and Gunkel, at the place). A very common use of "naked" is also "without proper clothing" (<a href="/job/22-6.htm">Job 22:6</a> <a href="/1_corinthians/4-11.htm">1 Corinthians 4:11</a>, etc.), whence, of course, the expression "clothe naked." "Nakedness," in addition, is used as an euphemism in <a href="/1_samuel/20-30.htm">1 Samuel 20:30</a>. A slightly different euphemistic usage is that of <a href="/leviticus/18-19.htm">Leviticus 18:19</a>, which in <a href="/ezekiel/16-36.htm">Ezekiel 16:36, 37</a> is played off against the literal sense (compare <a href="/ezekiel/22-10.htm">Ezekiel 22:10</a>; <a href="/ezekiel/23-18.htm">Ezekiel 23:18, 29</a>). The point of <a href="/genesis/9-22.htm">Genesis 9:22, 23</a> is a little hard to grasp, but apparently there is here again an euphemism-this time for a particularly horrible act (see the commentaries and compare <a href="/habakkuk/2-15.htm">Habakkuk 2:15</a>). Possibly some of these euphemisms are due to the Massoretes (see TEXT OF THE OLD TESTAMENT). The Jews objected vigorously to exposure of the body (even athletes insisting on a loin-cloth (compare 2 Maccabees 4:12, 13)), and compulsory nudity was the extreme of shame and humiliation (<a href="/isaiah/20-2.htm">Isaiah 20:2-4</a> <a href="/lamentations/1-8.htm">Lamentations 1:8</a> <a href="/hosea/2-3.htm">Hosea 2:3</a> <a href="/nahum/3-5.htm">Nahum 3:5</a>, etc.). The relation of this attitude to Israel's high sexual morality needs no explanation.
