Kabbalah for Genesis 1:24
וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֱלֹהִ֗ים תּוֹצֵ֨א הָאָ֜רֶץ נֶ֤פֶשׁ חַיָּה֙ לְמִינָ֔הּ בְּהֵמָ֥ה וָרֶ֛מֶשׂ וְחַֽיְתוֹ־אֶ֖רֶץ לְמִינָ֑הּ וַֽיְהִי־כֵֽן׃
And God said: ‘Let the earth bring forth the living creature after its kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after its kind.’ And it was so.
Zohar
Come and see: all spirits in the world contain both male and female, and when they come out, they come out [both] male and female, and after they spread out in their ways, if a person is worthy, after, they join as one. And this is 'one's partner' and they join as a couple (other versions: in variation) on in all, spirit and body. As it is written: 'let the land bring out living souls according to their type' (Gen. 1:24). What is 'according to their type'? This is the spirit of a human that goes out and pairs up with what is similar to it.
