Walking home thoughts: why did they put fig leaves on their privates in Biblical depictions? Doesn't make sense, fig leaves give you a rash!

When you grow up around fig trees, that's a lesson you learn quickly enough
And to never allow the milk from the tree get on your skin!1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

But that's kind of why it's turbo weird! The Bible is written by those in the Levant (where I'm from) & yet they don fig leaves... Madness!

I mean they do look like fig leaves as well now that I think of the illustrations so I'm curious!

huh so it was a metaphor which would unintentionally cause rash if enacted in real life?
