command, and they knew they had done wrong. They felt guilt and shame and fear for the first time before God they had experienced

Their relationship with God, their enjoyment of God was perfect, but now in the presence of

God they're hiding for the first time because they know they have sinned against

God and they're afraid.

And so we read in Genesis chapter 3,
