That part of the Book of Genesis that concerns Adam and Eve is considered to have been written by the Yahwist source, for whom God (YHWH - Yahweh) was anthropomorphic and could walk with Adam and talk to him just like another person. Thus we have God walking in the garden in the cool of the day (Genesis 3:8).

In the earliest Yahwist traditions, there was no concept of a spiritual side to Adam and no vision of Adam in an afterlife. When Adam and Eve had eaten the forbidden fruit, a somewhat spiritual punishment from God was putting enmity between Adam and Eve, and between men and women.

God is portrayed as relating to Adam and Eve as a stern and unforgiving father would, punishing in this life even for unintended transgressions. He was able to enforce his punishments by causing Adam and Eve to hold enmity towards each other, and even for their remote descendants to continue in hostility.
