The **Tree of Sefirot** (עץ הספירות, *Etz ha-Sefirot*) is a central diagram and concept in **Kabbalah**, the Jewish mystical tradition.
It represents the **ten sefirot** (emanations or attributes) through which the infinite divine essence (*Ein Sof*) manifests and interacts with the created world. These sefirot are often depicted as interconnected spheres or nodes on a tree-like structure.
### The Ten Sefirot
From highest to lowest, they are usually listed as:
1. **Keter** (Crown) – Divine will, pure potential.
2. **Chokhmah** (Wisdom) – Creative inspiration, insight.
3. **Binah** (Understanding) – Analytical thought, structure.
4. **Chesed** (Kindness/Loving-kindness) – Expansion, generosity.
5. **Gevurah** (Strength/Judgment) – Restriction, discipline.
6. **Tiferet** (Beauty/Harmony) – Balance, compassion.
7. **Netzach** (Eternity/Victory) – Endurance, ambition.
8. **Hod** (Glory/Splendor) – Humility, communication.
9. **Yesod** (Foundation) – Connection, channeling energy.
10. **Malkhut** (Kingdom) – Manifestation, physical reality.
### Symbolism
* The Tree is often arranged as three columns or “pillars”: **Right (Mercy), Left (Severity), and Middle (Balance)**.
* It maps both the **cosmos** and the **human soul**, showing how divine energy flows from the infinite into the material world.
* In later traditions (like Hermetic Kabbalah), it became a framework for mystical philosophy, alchemy, and Western esotericism.
Would you like me to create a **visual diagram** of the Tree of Sefirot with labels in English, Hebrew, or both?
