Daily Zohar 4454
Hebrew translation:
151. וּמַה שֶּׁאָמְרוּ שֶׁאוֹתָם לְבוּשִׁים הָיוּ לְאוֹתוֹ עֵשָׂו הָרָשָׁע שֶׁלָּקַח אוֹתָם מִנִּמְרוֹד – כָּךְ בֵּאַרְנוּ. וְהַדָּבָר קָשֶׁה, שֶׁאִם כָּךְ, הֲרֵי כָּתוּב לְאָדָם וּלְאִשְׁתּוֹ. לְבוּשִׁים לְאָדָם וּלְבוּשִׁים לְחַוָּה. לְבוּשִׁים שֶׁל חַוָּה מַה נַּעֲשׂוּ? וְעוֹד, שֶׁאִם כָּךְ, בַּמֶּה נִקְבְּרוּ? הַאִם תַּעֲלֶה עַל דַּעְתְּךָ שֶׁהֵם עָזְבוּ וְזָרְקוּ מֵהֶם הַזֹּהַר הָעֶלְיוֹן שֶׁנָּתַן לָהֶם הַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא?
152. אֶלָּא אוֹתָם לְבוּשִׁים שֶׁהִתְלַבְּשׁוּ בָהֶם אָדָם וְאִשְׁתּוֹ, לֹא הִתְלַבֵּשׁ בָּהֶם אָדָם אַחֵר, שֶׁבְּאוֹתָם לְבוּשִׁים דָּמוּ כְּמוֹ שֶׁלְּמַעְלָה. וְאִם תַּעֲלֶה בְּדַעְתְּךָ שֶׁהֵם מֵעַצְמָם הִתְלַבְּשׁוּ בָהֶם – בֹּא רְאֵה, כָּתוּב וַיַּלְבִּשֵׁם, שֶׁהַקָּדוֹשׁ בָּרוּךְ הוּא הִלְבִּישׁ אוֹתָם, אַשְׁרֵי חֶלְקָם.

Zohar Bo
Continued from previous DZ
Genesis 3:21
“וַיַּעַשׂ יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים לְאָדָם וּלְאִשְׁתּוֹ כָּתְנוֹת עוֹר וַיַּלְבִּשֵׁם.”
“Also, for Adam and his wife YHVH, God made garments of skin and clothed them.”

Genesis 2:4
“אֵלֶּה תוֹלְדוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם וְהָאָרֶץ בְּהִבָּרְאָם בְּיוֹם עֲשׂוֹת יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים אֶרֶץ וְשָׁמָיִם.”
“This is the history of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that YHVH (יְהוָה) God (אֱלֹהִים) made the earth and the heavens,”
We have learned that Creation was completed with the full name YHVH (יְהוָה) God (אֱלֹהִים), which is the full name.
The story of Creation was done only with the name “(אֱלֹהִים) Elohim.” He asked, isn’t it written that the Creation was made with the full name (Genesis 2:24)?
He answers that this is not a contradiction because when they were created, they were not created with the full name. However, their existence is sustained with the full name, and the scripture, “In the day that YHVH (יְהוָה) God (אֱלֹהִים) made the earth and the heavens,” refers to their force of existence.
#151
It was explained that the garments Adam had were in the hands of Nimrod. The wicked Esau found an opportunity to trick Nimrod, wear the garment, and kill him. It is written that Hashem made garments for Adam and his wife, Eve.
Genesis 3:21
“וַיַּעַשׂ יְהוָה אֱלֹהִים לְאָדָם וּלְאִשְׁתּוֹ כָּתְנוֹת עוֹר וַיַּלְבִּשֵׁם.”
“Also for Adam and his wife YHVH God made garments of skin, and clothed them.”
The question is, what happened to Eve’s garments? Furthermore, if this is the case, what and where were they buried? Is it conceivable that they discarded and threw away the upper radiance that God had given them?
#152
No other person has worn these garments that Adam and Eve wore since. In these garments, they appeared like the semblance of the beings above. And if you think they dressed themselves in these garments, it is written, “YHVH God made garments of skin, and clothed them,” indicating that God Himself clothed them. Fortunate is their portion.
