Likutei Moharan 73:2/ליקוטי מוהר"ן ע״ג:ב׳

אוְיָדוּעַ הוּא, כִּי מִי שֶׁמְּקַבֵּל תַּעֲנוּג מֵאַחֵר, נִקְרָא נוּקְבָא, רוֹצֶה לוֹמַר לְגַבֵּהּ. וְנִמְצָא כְּשֶׁהַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ מְקַבֵּל תַּעֲנוּג מִיִּשְׂרָאֵל מִתְּפִלָּתָן, כִּבְיָכוֹל נַעֲשֶׂה נוּקְבָא לְגַבֵּי יִשְׂרָאֵל, וְזֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב (במדבר כ״ח:ח׳): אִשֵּׁה רֵיחַ נִיחוֹחַ לַה'; כִּי עַל יְדֵי רֵיחַ הַנִּיחוֹחַ שֶׁמְּקַבֵּל הַשֵּׁם יִתְבָּרַךְ מִתְּפִלּוֹת שֶׁל יִשְׂרָאֵל, נַעֲשֶׂה בְּסוֹד אִשָּׁה. וּנְקֵבָה תְּסוֹבֵב גָּבֶר (ירמיהו ל״א:כ״ב), אִם כֵּן מֵהַפְּנִימִיּוּת נַעֲשֶׂה חִיצוֹנִיּוֹת. (וְעַיֵּן לְעֵיל בְּהַתּוֹרָה "אוֹר הַגָּנוּז" (סִימָן טו), שָׁם מְבֹאָר גַּם כֵּן עִנְיָן זֶה).
12. And it is known that whoever receives pleasure from someone else is referred to as “feminine” vis-à-vis that other person. We see from this that when God receives pleasure from the prayers of the Jewish people, He becomes, as it were, feminine vis-à-vis them. This is as it is written (Numbers 28:8), “it is ISheH (a fire-offering), a pleasing aroma to God.” Through the pleasing aroma that God receives from the Jewish people’s prayers He becomes the aspect of IShaH (a woman). Thus “the woman shall court the man” (Jeremiah 31:21), and as a result the inner element becomes the outer element. {See above, Lesson #15, Or HaGanuz (Hidden Light), which likewise explains this matter.}
בוְזֶהוּ פֵּרוּשׁ הַפָּסוּק:
2This is also the explanation of the [opening] verse: {“When You taavor (pass through) water, Aniy (I) am with you.”}
גכִּי תַעֲבֹר בְּמַיִם – וְתַעֲבֹר מִלְּשׁוֹן הִתְגַּלּוּת, כְּמָה שֶׁכָּתוּב (שמות י״ב:כ״ג): וְעָבַר ה' לִנְגֹּף אֶת מִצְרַיִם, וְתִרְגֵּם אוּנְקְלוֹס: וְיִתְגַּלֵּי ה' וְכוּ'. וְאֵין מַיִם אֶלָּא תּוֹרָה (בבא קמא יז). וְהַפֵּרוּשׁ הוּא, כְּשֶׁתִּרְצֶה שֶׁיִּתְגַּלֶּה לְךָ הַנִּסְתָּר מֵהַתּוֹרָה –
3When You taavor water—The word taAVoR connotes revelation, as it is written (Exodus 12:23), “Then God will AVaR (pass through) to strike Egypt,” which Onkelos renders as: “God will reveal Himself….” And water [in this verse] refers to nothing other than Torah (Bava Kama 82a). Thus, the explanation is: When you want the concealed elements of the Torah to be revealed to you.
דאִתְּךָ אָנִי, כְּלוֹמַר, תִּרְאֶה שֶׁתַּעֲשֶׂה הַכְּלִי שֶׁנִּקְרֵאת אֲנִי כַּנַּ"ל:
4Aniy am with you—That is, make sure that you fashion the vessel known as ANiY, as explained above.
