Text
Maronite Shehimto 403-404:
With radiance and glory was Adam clothed at the beginning, before he sinned; the Evil one was envious, led Eve astray, and had Adam ejected from paradise: he was then covered by fig leaves in place of the glory with which he had been clothed. This day (Friday) did the Lord fashion Adam, today too did he drive him from paradise; Priest, pontiff and king did the Lord make Adam when he created him.

Zohar 1.36b: Before the Fall they were dressed in garments of light, but after their trespass in garments of skin.
