Yahweh God made coats of skins for Adam and for his wife, and clothed them.

A Picture of the Gospel

Multiple commentators (Spurgeon, Gill, Henry) highlight this as a profound gospel picture. For God to provide coats of skin, an animal had to die. This is widely seen as the first sacrifice, teaching that sin requires a life to be given. It illustrates how God covers our shame not with our own efforts (like fig leaves), but through the substitutionary sacrifice of another—a clear foreshadowing of the righteousness provided by Jesus Christ.
