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.
Like I said before you need to pay attention to what you read. When God had physical encounters with man it was Christ, not the Father. The reason God is described as having physical parts like hand, arm, feet and ect. because to this day man can't explain what Spirit is. I've asked that here several times and have yet to receive an answer.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
