No.
Jehovah never materialized in physical form, and Genesis 3:8 does not imply that He did. That verse simply describes the way the sound or voice seemed to Adam and Eve (as though its originator were walking around).

Interesting question, but something tells me he might have even been taller, more imposing. And, even if he wasn't 6 feet tall, an omnipresent, omniscient God could find man and wife anywhere.

Only the Mormons and word faith people teach something like that. The rest of historic Christianity holds to what it says in john 14

No. Jehovah God does not have a physical body. He is a Spirit.
