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.” When mankind tried to cloth himself, he chose a very rough leaf that would be very uncomfortable to wear. Our Creator, even in His anger would show His love and compassion by providing soft skins. Genesis 3:21, “And the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and He clothed them.”

the soul, being intertwined with our physical flesh, and having that four part stage that it goes through to develop the spirit, is reflected in our physical animal kingdom.
(for why does one get told to observe nature to see God?)
and so, the stages being identified as wild beast, domestic beast, human, air-borne eagle, and the fig tree being connected to the israelites, of israel, the land identifier of the human stage, what's happening is adam and eve want to clothe themselves in the 'human' stage and our Creator provides them clothing to place them in their correct stage.
still beastly, as of yet.
why were the animals who's skins were given not identified?
it's as much what is not said, as what is incomprehensibly said, or incongruously said, that invites us, ponder here...
