Hi. You need remedial instruction in the Bible.
God is an embodied presence from Genesis on. In Eden, He is "walking in the garden in the cool of the day…" (3:8)
Or try Exodus 24:10: “And they saw the God of Israel…”
Prophets from Moses on see God as some kind of visual presence. See: Exod 24:9-11; 33:17,23; 1 Kgs 22:19; Amos 9:1; Isa 6:1; Ezek 1:26-28; Dan 7:9.
For scholarly studies of God's body, start with:
Benjamin D. Sommer, The Bodies of God and the World of Ancient Israel
Or Brittany E. WIlson's paper "“Imaging the Divine: Idolatry and God’s Body in the Book of Acts.”
