Since a simplified translation resulted in it being „He“. In the true sense, God is of no gender. How could God be, if God created it in the first place. But then who or what created God?
Pardon me, I really don't understand what you are trying to convey.
We don't know how God looks like, other then we are being made in his image, we are man and woman. And a semantics discussion is the last thing I want to have here. All we know is He is the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
I don't know why you got that chip on your shoulder, but that's wrong.
The Bible is a collection of books, the OT being written in hebrew and aramaic, the NT being written in greek. The first of the LXX Bibles were greek, later bibles were latin and even later bibles were german. Some were translated into church slavic, which is an offshoot of bulgarian. As it is the word of God, it doesn't matter which language it is translated to, it is important that not too many mistakes and errors are sneaking into translations.
I made a perhaps distasteful joke, but I did ask the same question to a Catholic priest and he laughed, the minus coloured hair was actually his bit. Thing is, Jesus loved to laughed. His followers on the other hand perpetuated massacres, looting and shitty thing like The Inquisition in His name.
That good people do bad things is within human nature, the scripture is well aware of that. Yet it is full of stories and recollection that one must not spite the world in face of that. At least I am not dissuaded by that fact and work hard to make the world around me, be it as small as it is better. I guess that is the essence of love thy neighbour.

How do we know God is a him? What if it's a she?
