Binah

Understanding: the third sefirah, the divine mother in whom the seed of wisdom is developed.

Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism

Binah, understanding, receives the point of Chokhmah and expands it into structure and differentiation. It is called the supernal mother and the palace, and from it the lower seven sefirot are born. It is also associated with return and repentance.
