Question: How were they able to harbor this felon?
God’s answer:

Cellar
He went underground.
Meaning: He went into hiding with Adam and Eve’s consent. My guess is this is God’s explanation of why the fallen angel is referred to as a snake.
Question: Does this mean he literally hid inside Adam and Eve’s house or did he change into some kind of animal - because the story of Adam and Eve described him as a creature, specifically a snake?
God’s answer:
Outdoor cellar/storm shelter
He was like a caged animal.
He was like a caged animal.
