The Bible was not written in English, hullo!!
The feminine or masculine forms in many languages has 'nothing' to do with "male" and "female" as such. In French, 'car' is feminine and in English a ship is feminine. "She" sunk(The Titanic) on her 'maiden' voyage. I like to use 'virgin' olive oil in my food. I am looking for the 'male' plug for my electronic gadget. Language is purely conventional. Calling God "He" does not make Him "male" nor does the use of feminine pronouns for Wisdom imply the source of wisdom is the great SHE! It is just the necessity of using pronouns that one has to choose 'he', 'she' or 'it' for English. Pronouns serve as placeholders for nouns and proper nouns. No gender is necessarily implied with the exception of people and animals where gender is obviously implied.
The literal meaning or translation would be to remove the pronoun and put the noun. Illiterate feminism is responsible for this mindless debate. This is a non-issue. In any case, there are languages where there are no gender pronouns. There is a pronoun for people and another for things(non-persons). For such languages, it is hard to have this sort of discussion.
So, please people, give us a break, will you!
