Best Answer

The Talmud discusses verses in which Wisdom is poetically personified (Proverbs 7:4), as are the day and night (Psalms 19:3), the Earth (Jeremiah 22:29), and tens of other items and ideals. This is traditionally seen as a literary device in order to convey some concept; and no foreign significance should be read into it. Note that in Hebrew there is no neutral gender; everything is grammatically masculine or feminine, including concepts and inanimate things.
