“Nakedness” signifies the original goodness of creation in God’s eyes. It characterizes the fullness of God’s vision, through which we see the high value of man and woman and the purity of sex and the body. At the time of creation, there was no opposition between the physical and the spiritual. There was also no opposition between male and female—the two existed in unity. Adam and Eve looked at each other not just with the exterior gaze of their eyes, but with the eyes of their hearts.
