God Among the Trees

Now they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden.
Genesis 3:8 (NASB)

The word “tree” appears so many times in the first three chapters of Genesis, I can’t help but notice that the last part of Genesis 3:8 can be read this way: “YHWH, God among the Trees of the Garden,” not as a position or locator for God, but as a whole name.

“God among the Trees.”
