It seems like "Ezer" the word meaning "help" when God created Eve, suggests a whole characteristic of God as being feminine. He made both in His image, both "like" him, right? He must have qualities like men and women. And Wisdom may refer to his female identity. It seems the patriarchal characteristics of God are always exalted, but not feminine ones. Like El Shaddai "Almighty Breasty One."
