There are four challenges from a sister and the purple parts are my or other brethren's responses.  Challenge #1: Coat  in Hebrew is "thoneth" which is garment. It should be in long length, not just only until knee. As for tunics, the length is until knee. If you apply this to Gen 3:21, do you think the knee length coat can keep warm in freezing climate in ancient time?  Genesis 3:21 King James Version (KJV) 21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them. You are right, so the dressing standard should be  at least covering ourselves from shoulders to the knees (the whole thighs).  Also consider the verses of Isai 47:2-3 showing us exposing thighs is nakedness. Isaiah 47:2-3 King James Version (KJV) 2 Take the millstones, and grind meal: uncover thy locks, make bare the leg, uncover the thigh, pass over the rivers. 3 Thy nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, thy shame shall be seen: I will take vengeance, and I wil

啟 示 錄 Revelation 9:5  但 不 許 蝗 蟲 害 死 他 們 、 只 叫 他 們 受 痛 苦 五 個 月 ． 這 痛 苦 就 像 蠍 子 螫 人 的 痛 苦 一 樣 。 [kjv] And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
