More Than Unclothed
Commentators explain that the people's 'nakedness' was more than physical. It describes a state of being 'unruly' and 'licentious' (Barnes, Ellicott). More profoundly, it signifies being spiritually stripped of God's protection and favor, leaving them exposed and vulnerable to shame before their enemies (Calvin, Gill). Their sin had undone them, leaving them morally and spiritually bare.
