Sure. That's Michelangelo, an interpretation, and reminds me that El also moved over the face of the waters (like the wind?) and strolled in some other unnamed guise through Eden enjoying the cool of the early day on the morning of the Fall. But the Bible itself reveals nothing that would legitimate this picture's embodiment, not that it's inaccurate as an interpretation, because it isn't.
The God of the Bible's a protean figure when he does appear, if sometimes in ways very difficult to visualize. (Pic'd to clarify matters if youre at all interested). Greek modes of thought applied to a Hebrew tale are going to render an interpretive style that loses (or rather does not possess) a Hebrew mode that almost exclusively emphasizes or 'privileges' activity over actor, unlike the Greek.
