What is modesty according to God?
[
Gen 3:21 NKJV] 21 Also for Adam and his wife the LORD God made
tunics of skin, and clothed them.
H3801 - kutōneṯ:
Gesenius Lexicon: generally with sleeves, coming down to the knees, rarely to the ankles.
BDB Lexicon: tunic with long skirts and sleeves.
[
Isa 47:2-3 NKJV] 2 Take the millstones and grind meal. Remove your veil, Take off the skirt,
Uncover the thigh, Pass through the rivers. 3
Your nakedness shall be uncovered, Yes, your shame will be seen; I will take vengeance, And I will not arbitrate with a man."
[
Exo 28:42 NKJV] 42 "And you shall make for them linen trousers
to cover their nakedness; they shall reach
from the waist to the thighs.
It is obvious that for God, showing your thigh is showing your nakedness, which is shameful in Bible standards. This is applicable for man and woman. God didn't make tunics only for Eve. The passage in Isa talks about a woman, and the passage in Ex is about a priest (a man).
