Nugget #88 – First Triad: Male and Female

The right and left pillars have been given genders as well. The right is male while the left is female. However, before we go any further we must understand that these attributes are not about sex per se. They have attributes, we must be thinking differently of male and female.

As noted already the right is considered a male. Meaning that this attribute gives. It bestows, provides and gives nourishment. The left is a female meaning that this attribute receives. Think of the basic function male and female are attributed with. Genesis 1:28 tells us that mankind was instructed to “be fruitful and multiply”. Thus we are to think in terms of procreating and establishment of the family. The father provides for the family from the outside, and the mother provides for the family from what the father brings in from the outside.

Let’s go a little further. In order for the male and female to procreate, one must give and the other has to receive. This is exemplified in the male/female union. The male give 23 chromosomes and the female receives the 23 in addition to her own 23 chromosomes so the child will have a total of 46.

When we see a gender being mentioned in relations to our Creator’s attributes/names think according to bestowal (Male) and receptivity (Female).
