Matthew 5:22
But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be answerable to the court; and whoever says to his brother, ‘You good-for-nothing,’ shall be answerable to the supreme court; and whoever says, ‘You fool,’ shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.

By touch also. But the words and types of animals were limited and expanded later. It was like teaching a baby to speak for God.

Nothing in the text suggests Adam touched the animals to name them.

What do you mean that the types of animals were expanded? When did it occur?

I see their nakedness as the loss of God's covering. They knew they had lost it, and were ashamed knowing their disobedience caused it. I have asked that question before, too, about why did they not eat of the Tree of Life? Especially since we are told man is a slave to sin due to his fear of death. Certainly, it seems this was part of their motivation. But if they did not want to die, why not just eat of the Tree promising Life? Well, they also wanted to be like God, and God confirmed that happened, in knowing good and evil. They decided for themselves what was right and what was wrong... Adam deliberately choosing wrong, and Eve being deceived. God temporarily covered them, with the skin/s of a sacrificed animal, foreshadowing the covering we find in the shed righteous blood of Christ. There is a lot to unpack there! Then begins the long hard crawl through history to where we are today...

A spiritual interpretation of the Old Testament.

That is the way we are supposed to read the text.

Well done Magenta.

This is purely opinion and speculation but I think Adam named the animals according to what God wanted him to name them. The reason I say this is because my three children all have names that absolutely describe who they are and each time I came up with the name, there was what I can only describe as a supernatural element to it. It was as if they could have no other name.

You are changing the subject. And unleavened bread was spoken of often, for very specific
reasons. Never was touching the animals mentioned as part of the naming process.
