Male and Female.

Chapter XXII.—Male and Female.

"But a companion was created along with him, a female nature, much differing from him, as quality from substance, as the moon from the sun, as fire from light. She, as a female ruling the present world as her like, [966] was entrusted to be the first prophetess, announcing prophecy with all amongst those born of woman. [967] But the other, as the son of man, being a male, prophesies better things to the world to come as a male.
