At narinig nila ang tinig ng Walang-Hanggang Diyos na naglalakad sa halamanan sa hangin ng araw; at nagtago ang tao at ang kaniyang asawa mula sa harapan ng Walang-Hanggang Diyos sa gitna ng mga puno ng halamanan.
Allegorical Interpretation of Genesis
[1] “And Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God in the midst of the forest of the garden” (Gen. 3:8). He introduces a doctrine showing that the bad man is an exile. For if virtue is a city peculiar to the wise, the man who has no capacity to partake of virtue has been driven away from the city, in which the bad man is incapable of taking part. It is accordingly the bad man only who has been driven away and sent into exile. But the exile from virtue has by incurring such exile hidden himself from God. For if the wise, as being His friends, are in God’s sight, it is evident that all bad men slink away and hide from Him, as is to be expected in men who cherish hatred and ill-will to right reason.
