Sefirot

The ten emanations or attributes through which the hidden God manifests and governs the world.

Also: Sephirot, sefirah

Kabbalah and Jewish mysticism

The sefirot are the ten aspects of God’s self-revelation: Keter, Chokhmah, Binah, Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod, Yesod and Malkhut. They are depicted as a tree or as a human figure, and their balance and union are the theme of kabbalistic prayer and practice.
