Refimprove date November 2010 In Abrahamicreligion s, a covenant is a formal alliance or agreement made by God with that religious community or with humanity in general. This sort of covenant is an important concept in Judaism and Christianity , derived in the first instance from the covenant biblical biblical covenant tradition. An example of a covenant relationship in Judaism and Christianity is that between Abraham and God, in which God made a covenant with Abram that He would bless Abram s descendants, making them more numerous than the stars.

Abrahamic religions The Abrahamicreligion s of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all recount the legend of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden found in the Hebrew Bible , who are not aware that they are naked until they eat the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil . When they discover their nudity, they are ashamed and cover themselves with fig leaves. ref name Gen3 7 Book of Genesis Genesis 3 7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons ref ref name Koran7 22 in Islam the garden is in Paradise, not on Earth Koran 7 22 when they tasted of the tree, their shame became manifest to them, and they began to sew together the leaves of the garden over their bodies. ref Each of these religions have their own unique understanding of what is meant to be taught with the recounting of the story of Adam and Eve and the use of nudity in the Hebrew Bible. In Christianity, nudity is associated with original sin , an integral aspect to their doctrine of redemption and salvation. In Islam, it is to show that women and men should be covered in clothing, for nudity has the stigma of shame attached it. ref name Koran7 26 Koran 7 26 O children of Adam We have indeed sent down to you clothing to cover your shame, and clothing for beauty and clothing that guards against evil , that is the best. ref In Judaism, nudity in and of itself is not sinful, being that it is a natural part of God s divine creation.
