Genesis 3:8. And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day:
No doubt, when they had heard the voice of the Lord before, they had run to meet him, as children do to a father when he comes home "in the cool of the day." But now, how different is their action!
Genesis 3:8. And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.
What fools they were to think that they could hide themselves from God! The fig leaves were to hide their nakedness, and now the trees themselves were to hide them from God.
