Translation of Genesis 3:8

They heard the voice of God Yahweh walking in the garden toward the spirit of the day, and Adam hid himself and his wife from the face of God Yahweh among trees of the garden.

"toward the spirit of the day" = "for refreshing the day".

Comments

From this passage we know that there is "the spirit of the day" (and probably "spirit of the night").

It seems that the main reason of come of Yahweh in this occurrence was not to meet with Adam but to refresh the day (to regulate the weather).
