God Appearing, in the Wind
H. Bonar, D. D. Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day… It was "in the wind of the day" that Jehovah was heard. Meaning thereby, either at the time that the breeze was blowing, or in the breeze; or, more probably, both. It is generally in connection with the wind, or whirlwind, that Jehovah is said to appear (Ezekiel 1:4). In 2 Samuel 22:11 we read, "He was seen upon the wings of the wind"; in Psalm 18:10 we read, "He did fly upon the wings of the wind"; in Psalm 104:3 we read, "Who walketh upon the wings of the wind." In these passages we note the difference of expression, yet the identity of the general idea — He was seen upon the wind; He did fly upon the wind; He did walk upon the wind; which last is the very expression in the passage before us.
