Where Does the Bible First Mention Nakedness & Shame?
The Bible first mentions nakedness & shame in Genesis 2:25, from the original word arom (ערום). 'They were both naked... and were not ashamed'—the first mention of nakedness describes innocence and unguarded intimacy before sin introduced shame.
