From Fellowship to Fear
Commentators like Spurgeon and Ellicott emphasize the tragic shift in this verse. Before sin, Adam and Eve would have joyfully welcomed God's presence, like children running to a father. Now, the very sound of His approach fills them with terror, causing them to hide. Sin shattered their intimate fellowship with God, replacing it with fear and alienation.
