Genesis 18:22 commentary

 And the persons turned Their faces from there to go toward Sodom but Abraham withstood before YHWH

Comments: Genesis 18:22 These persons are not mortals. But they are persons. Genesis 18:1 says they are YHWH. That means they are not mortals. Also, they cannot be called men, as the Hebrew word, enowsh, can be used for mixed companies of both women and men.

If these three persons are indeed the Godhead—and verses :1-:5 says and shows they are—then one of the persons should appear as female. In every Hebrew text, the Holy Spirit--the Ruach--is feminine. Also, the Greek texts never refer to the Holy Spirit as he. Christians only believe the Holy Spirit is male because of English-translation-theology.
