I have seen these verses used to require the covering of the thighs while in public. I'm curious if we can indeed infer anything like that. My initial reaction is that one runs into difficulty in using either of these passages to define some minimum standard of clothing, but I'd like to hear what others think. | I don't see how you can say that one runs into difficulty with those two passages when both of them in their context define nakedness as showing legs or thighs.
