Sinday Sermon — Gender Fluidity

Since the Hebrews attempt to vilify and slander The Creator, Lilith, then I shall share some interesting tidbits that I suspect not many know, and definitely not shared in the churches, cathedrals or synagogues around the globe. The Hebrew Bible, when read in its original language, offers a highly elastic view of gender. In Genesis 3:12, Eve is referred to as “he.” In Genesis 9:21, after the flood, Noah retires to “her” tent. Genesis 24:16 refers to Rebecca as a “young man.” And Genesis 1:27 refers to Adam as “them.”

Surprising, I know. And there are many other, even more vivid examples: In Esther 2:7, Mordecai is pictured as nursing his niece Esther. I always have made reference to the third nipple, yet I digress. In a similar way, in Isaiah 49:23, the future kings of Israel are prophesied to be “nursing kings.” Why would the Bible do this? These aren’t typos. In the ancient world, well-expressed gender fluidity was the mark of a civilized person. Such a person was considered more “godlike.”

In Ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt, the gods were thought of as gender-fluid, and human beings were considered reflections of the gods. The Israelite ideal of the “nursing king” seems to have been based on a real person: a woman by the name of Hatshepsut who, after the death of her husband, Thutmose II, donned a false beard and ascended the throne to become one of Egypt’s greatest pharaohs.

The Israelites took the transgender trope from their surrounding cultures and wove it into their own sacred scripture. The four-Hebrew-letter name of God, which scholars refer to as the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, was probably not pronounced “Jehovah” or “Yahweh,” as some have guessed. These priests would have read the letters in reverse as Hu/Hi — in other words, the hidden name of God was Hebrew for “He/She.” I don’t know about you, but I am partial to He/She. 

Counter to everything the church has taught, the god of the three monotheistic, Abrahamic religions to which fully half the people on the planet today belong — was understood by its earliest worshipers to be a dual-gendered deity. Now I have long believed that this god, given the gender fluidity, originally was none other than our beloved Mother Lilith.

Scientists and scholars now tell us that gender identity, like sexual orientation, exists on a spectrum. Some of us are in greater or lesser alignment with the gender assigned to us at birth. Some of us are in alignment with both, or with neither. For others of us, alignment emulates that Of The Divine Dark Goddess herself, fluctuating to our desires at a specific point of Lust. Savete Lamia.

Through Hoku, I come to appreciate the power of Lilith. Her gender-bending demonic power is all-consuming. Her baphometic form may be both terrifying and yet beautiful. She is perfect in her fluidity — taking the form of a dual-gendered deity — to me she is completely irresistible,
