- Genesis 3:7
And 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.
Commentary on Genesis 3:71 voice
The case of Adam, however, had no analogy with this, but was altogether different. For, having been beguiled by another under the pretext of immortality, he is immediately seized with terror, and hides himself; not as if he were able to escape from God; but, in a state of confusion at having transgressed His command, he feels unworthy to appear before and to hold converse with God. Now, "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;" the sense of sin leads to repentance, and God bestows His compassion upon those who are penitent.
Irenaeus· Against Heresies 3.23.5, 202Patristic
- Genesis 3:21
And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.
Commentary on Genesis 3:211 voice
It is said that God made those miserable garments with which the first man was clothed after he had sinned. "For God made skin tunics and clothed Adam and his wife." Therefore, those were tunics of skin taken from animals. For with such as these, it was necessary for the sinner to be dressed. It says, "with skin tunics," which are a symbol of the mortality that he received because of his skin and of his frailty that came from the corruption of the flesh.
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON LEVITICUS 6.2.7, 253Patristic
- Genesis 45:22
He gave new garments to each of them, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred shekels of silver and five sets of clothes.
Commentary on Genesis 45:221 voice
To whom two stoles are given. And he cites Paul, when he sets forth his statements, to whom three hundred gold coins, and five multicolored robes are given by Christ. He who proclaims the cross of Christ possesses three hundred gold coins. Therefore, he says: For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. And he rightly receives the gold coins, because he preached not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in the demonstration of the Spirit.

- Leviticus 11:32
When one of them dies and falls on something, that article becomes unclean; any article of wood, clothing, leather, sackcloth, or any implement used for work must be rinsed with water and will remain unclean until evening; then it will be clean.

Commentary on Leviticus 13:47–591 voice
The garments also, that the plague of leprosy is in,.... Whether this sort of leprosy proceeded from natural causes, or was extraordinary and miraculous, and came immediately from the hand of God, and was peculiar to the Jews, and unknown to other nations, is a matter of question; the latter is generally asserted by the Hebrew writers, as Maimonides (e), Abraham Seba (f), and others (g); but others are of opinion, and Abarbinel among the Jews, that it might be by the contact or touch of a leprous person.

- Deuteronomy 22:5
A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to the LORD your God.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:51 voice
Now, if you will consider it well, that which nature herself abhors must be incongruous. For why do you not wish to be thought a man, seeing that you are born such? why do you assume an appearance which is foreign to you? why do you play the woman, or you, O woman, the man? Nature clothes each sex in their proper raiment. Moreover in men and women, habits, complexion, gestures, gait, strength and voice are all different.
Ambrose of Milan· Letters 61-70, 397Patristic
- Deuteronomy 22:11
Do not wear clothes of wool and linen woven together.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 22:111 voice
Thou shalt not wear a garment of divers sorts,.... The Jews say nothing is forbidden under the name of sorts but what is spun and wove, as it is said, "thou shalt not wear sheatnez", a thing that is carded, spun, and wove (l); which Ainsworth translates "linsie woolsie", and is explained by what follows: as "of woollen and linen together"; of which See Gill on Lev 19:19, whereas Josephus (m) observes, this was granted to the priests only to wear such garments.

- 1 Samuel 2:19
Each year his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him when she went with her husband to offer the annual sacrifice.
Commentary on 1 Samuel 2:191 voice
10. To offer a sacrifice of the Holy Church is to kindle the hearts of one's hearers in love of the Creator through the words of preaching. At that time, therefore, a small garment is said to have been brought to Samuel, because while he was still advancing through the growth of his newness, he received from the Church tokens of righteousness suited to his smallness, with whose splendor he might shine. There follows: (Verse 20.)
Gregory the Dialogist· Commentary on 1 Kings, Book 2, Chapter 2, 604Patristic
- 1 Samuel 18:4
And Jonathan removed the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with his tunic, his sword, his bow, and his belt.
