However in the governmental order of Daat… i.e. when it comes to the way things are actually governed, which depends on Daat …they stand parallel, one to the right and one to the left. The root from which influence descends to the world is ordered in such a way that Zeir Anpin with his MaH stands on the foundation of Kindness while Nukva with her BaN stands on the foundation of Judgment. This is alluded to in the rabbinic saying that “the man secretes the white substance and the woman the red” (Niddah 31a).
Likewise it says: “My hand has laid the foundation of the earth and My right hand has spanned the heavens: when I call to them they stand up together” (Isaiah 48:13). Our Rabbis commented on this that they are balanced one against the other (Bereishit Rabbah 1:15). (Although in the chain of development Nukva, as the receiver, is tenth, when it comes to the government of the world, God gave man, the receiver, equal partnership – in that man’s service, the “female waters”, are instrumental in eliciting God’s influence, the “male waters”. Thus in the actual order of government Zeir and Nukva are parallel.)
