He breathed on them and said, Receive ye the Holy Spirit (John 20:22).
Gen 2:15 And Yehovah God took the man, and put him in the garden of Eden, to till it and take care of it. The Spirit of truth shall guide you into all truth; for He shall not speak of Himself, but what things soever He shall hear, He shall speak; He shall glorify Me, for He shall receive of Mine, and shall declare it unto you (John 16:13, 14).
And in another place:--
A man can receive nothing except it be given him from heaven (John 3:27).

Yes. A child - innocence. A child can walk naked without shame. A child is welcome in the Kingdom of God. We turn away from God and create fig leaves to cover or hid our indiscretions. We can no longer stand before perfect love and peace. Thus Adam/Eve hid themselves from Yehovah Elohim.
Before: Gen 2:25 And they were both naked, the man [Adam] and his wife, and were not ashamed.
After: Gen 3:10 And he said, "I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself."
