'Jehovah God's voice going to and fro in the garden' means a dictate which filled them with fear. This dictate is the residue they had of perception. 'The breeze, or breath,^a of the daytime' means a time when the Church still had a residue of perception. 'Hiding themselves from the face of Jehovah God' is being afraid of this dictate, as people conscious of evil normally are. 'The middle of the tree of the garden in which they hid themselves' means natural good; that which is Inmost is called 'the middle', and perception a tree', as stated already. But because only a little perception remained 'tree' is used in the singular, as though only one were left.
