226. Verses 9, to And Jehovah God called out to the man and said to him, Where are you? And he said, I heard Your voice in the garden and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself. What 'calling out' and 'a voice in the garden' mean, and why 'they were afraid because they were naked and hid themselves' have been explained already. Even though the Lord knows everything already It is a common occurrence in the Word for Him first to ask the man Where? and What? The reason why he is asked is so that he himself may acknowledge and confess.
