>>126781134>>126781134God is male BUT (actually pro-feminist part supported by archeology), God had a wife as his equal. Asherah, aka Annitt via the Elephantine Papyrii, was the wife of God (YHVH) before the reforms under King Hezekiah, and subsequent bible edits. Acheaologists have found well over a thousand Asherim (votive statues of Asherah), one joint Asherah-YHVH temple (Tel Arad) and one joint metzuvah shrine stele. Due to the uniquity of snakes as fertility symbols in Asherah media, it's possible Moses's staff, the Nehushtan, was an Asherah pole.
God as being without gender is a kabbalastic concept derived from Hindu-zoroastrianism, and while fascinating and valid, isn't the norm.
