SEV Biblia, Chapter 3:8
Y oyeron la voz del SEÑOR Dios que se paseaba en el huerto al aire del día; y se escondió el hombre y su mujer de delante del SEÑOR Dios entre los árboles del huerto.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Genesis 3:8
Verse 8. The voice of the Lord] The voice is properly used here, for as God is an infinite Spirit, and cannot be confined to any form, so he can have no personal appearance. It is very likely that God used to converse with them in the garden, and that the usual time was the decline of the day, µwyh jwrl leruach haiyom, in the evening breeze; and probably this was the time that our first parents employed in the more solemn acts of their religious worship, at which God was ever present. The time for this solemn worship is again come, and God is in his place; but Adam and Eve have sinned, and therefore, instead of being found in the place of worship, are hidden among the trees! Reader, how often has this been thy case!
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-8 - Observe the steps of the transgression: not steps upward, but downwar toward the pit. 1. She saw. A great deal of sin comes in at the eye Let us not look on that which we are in danger of lusting after, M 5:28. 2. She took. It was her own act and deed. Satan may tempt, but he cannot force; may persuade us to cast ourselves down, but he cannot cast us down, Mt 4:6. 3. She did eat. When she looked perhaps she di not intend to take; or when she took, not to eat: but it ended in that It is wisdom to stop the first motions of sin, and to leave it of before it be meddled with. 4. She gave it also to her husband with her Those that have done ill, are willing to draw in others to do the same 5. He did eat. In neglecting the tree of life, of which he was allowe to eat, and eating of the tree of knowledge, which was forbidden, Ada plainly showed a contempt of what God had bestowed on him, and a desir for what God did not see fit to give him. He would have what he pleased, and do what he pleased. His sin was, in one word disobedience, Ro 5:19; disobedience to a plain, easy, and expres command. He had no corrupt nature within, to betray him; but had freedom of will, in full strength, not weakened or impaired. He turne aside quickly. He drew all his posterity into sin and ruin. Who the can say that Adam's sin had but little harm in it? When too late, Ada and Eve saw the folly of eating forbidden fruit. They saw the happines they fell from, and the misery they were fallen into. They saw a lovin God provoked, his grace and favour forfeited. See her what dishonou and trouble sin is; it makes mischief wherever it gets in, and destroy all comfort. Sooner or later it will bring shame; either the shame of true repentance, which ends in glory, or that shame and everlastin contempt, to which the wicked shall rise at the great day. See her what is commonly the folly of those that have sinned. They have mor care to save their credit before men, than to obtain their pardon from God. The excuses men make to cover and lessen their sins, are vain an frivolous; like the aprons of fig-leaves, they make the matter neve the better: yet we are all apt to cover our transgressions as Adam Before they sinned, they would have welcomed God's gracious visits with humble joy; but now he was become a terror to them. No marvel that the became a terror to themselves, and full of confusion. This shows the falsehood of the tempter, and the frauds of his temptations. Sata promised they should be safe, but they cannot so much as thin themselves so! Adam and Eve were now miserable comforters to eac other!
