Sounds rather corporeal to me. And very affected by weather as he waited until the cool of the evening.
That's all you got from those verses, you really need to pay attention to what you read.

We aren't talking about what the Garden of Eden story is about. That is a rather different discussion. We are talking about how god is depicted in the Bible--specifically whether he is a human looking creature or an ethereal spirit, or what. Those verses and many others in Genesis suggest a two legged man with superpowers. Specifically one with feet, a desire to walk in the cool of the evening, who gets in wrestling matches with his creations. Other verses, particularly the Prophets suggest a more unknowable being. Exodus is rather transitional.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
