    I think you misunderstand. Binah herself is Water; Kokma is Fire
    (Keter is Light)& Daath is Steam.
    Severity is Constrictive; Mercy is Exspansive.
    What you seem to misunderstand is that Each Layer of the Tree (or
    World) is a Reverse Reflection of its Superior World.
    So, Gevura is Fire because it is the *Opposite* of Binah likewise
    with Chesed.
    Then Reverse again passing through Paroketh- making Netzach Fire &
    Hod water. Will Parfit exsplained it well in his _New Living Qabalah_
    . Hope that helped.
