The Elchasaites, another Jewish Christian group, believed that the Holy Spirit was female and was either the equal of Christ or his sister (Panarion 30.17.6, 53.1.9). All of this makes sense because it is in accordance with Hebrew, which spoke of the holy spirit or divine presence, the shekinah, as feminine. It is significant that the Elchasaites also had two women leaders in the fourth century who according to Epiphanius were “worshipped as goddesses” (Panarion 53.1.2).",
