The Breeches Bible, published in 1568, is a translation of The Bible into English that is notable for its unique rendering of Genesis 3:7, where Adam and Eve realize their nakedness and make themselves breeches (or trousers) out of fig leaves. This translation was one of the first to be printed in English and was favored by the Puritans for its emphasis on personal piety and moral instruction. Its name derives from the term "breeches" used in the translation, which reflected a shift in societal attitudes towards modesty. The Breeches Bible was part of the broader Protestant Reformation efforts to make the scriptures accessible to laypeople.
