It means giving human characteristics to non-human life forms. The Bible says that God created man in his own image. If you believe that the Bible is the word of God, then God himself/herself is stating that he is either an organic life form similiar to man or, more likely if you favor Ockham's Razor, he is an organic life form that is almost exactly like man. Consequently, God anthropomorphized himself to a degree. What would his/her purpose be in doing that? He/She either IS, at least partly, human or not. Period. You can find several instances in Genesis where God listens, hears, speaks, shows human emotion, ect. Why would a spiritual entity feel the need to use any human forms of sentience if he were omnipotent and omnipresent? However, if you are of the opionion that man himself wrote the Bible to explain his existence, then it would be entirely probable that he would assign human forms of sentience and emotion as that is what they understood at the time. They didn't need the metaphysical that's since been infused in religion.
