BTW, I just noticed a Targum Yonasan arguing with the Targum Onkelos what the meaning of ערומים is. The Targum Yonasan translates Adam and Chava being חכימים, wise rather than unclothed. Maybe we find that both are true. In Samuel (19,24) we see that when Shaul got mixed up with the neviim and started to prophesize, he shed his clothes. The Redak explains that the clothing is a hinderance for the use of the spiritual mind. So for Adam and Chava because of their high intellect of wisdom, the clothing was a hinderance and unnecessary until after the eating of eitz hadaas where there spiritual mind got damaged.
