Then, he made Man and put him in charge of the animals to take care of.
God gave Man one rule, and he broke it.
Suddenly, Man was aware of his nakedness, so he covered himself with fig leaves.
But, God made clothes for Man out of leather instead.
Leather.
One of Man's animals had to die, and the skin of that animal was draped on Man both to hide his nakedness and for him to wear his shame.
Thus, was the first sacrifice to atone for sins. The wages of sin is death.
The people of Israel were enslaved by the Egyptians when Moses came to lead them out of captivity. A series of plagues befell the Egyptians to convince Pharoah to let the Israelites go to worship their God. In the final plague, the Angel of Death went throughout Egypt to kill the firstborn. The people of Israel had prepared for this plague by sacrificing a lamb and painting its blood on their doors. When the Angel of Death came, he saw that death had already happened there, and moved on.
