Tunic


Hebrew, “kuttoneth.” In the Garden of Eden God gave Adam and Eve tunics, kuttoneth, to wear (1 Moses 5:43, Genesis 3:21). This is the same term used in Exodus 28:2 when God commands that the Levites wear holy garments. In the Book of Remembrance 12:3 we see that these were the Garments of the Holy Priesthood. These garments were passed down to Noah and Na’amah, taken by Ham (1 Moses 14:4-16). Later, Esau took them back, giving them to Jacob (1 Moses 36:25-34). Then Jacob makes new garments, likely based on the orginal for his son, Joseph (2 Moses 2:11, see Coat of many colors). From the text we see that this tunic had symbols on it and went past the knees (4 Moses 32:1- 21, Book of Remembrance 14:28-30).
