Sefirot

In the Kabbalah, the Sephirot (or Enumerations) are the ten emanations of God (or infinite light: Ain Soph Aur) into the physical universe. They constitute the tree of life, and are aligned in three columns, each headed by a Supernal and consisting of the seven days of creation. The names of the Sephirot are:
  • Keter (Crown; כתר)\n* Chochmah (Wisdom; חכמה)\n* Binah (Understanding; בינה)\n* Chesed (Mercy; חסד)\n* Gevurah (Severity; גבורה)\n* Tiferet (Redeemer; תיפארת)\n* Netzach (Victory; נצח)\n* Hod (Majesty; הוד)\n* Yesod (Foundation; יסוד)\n* Malchut (Kingdom; מלכות)
Occasionally another is enumerated when Keter is not.\n* Da'at (Knowledge; דעת) Category:Jewish mysticism

"I do not consider it an insult, but rather a compliment to be called an agnostic. I do not pretend to know where many ignorant men are sure -- that is all that agnosticism means." - Clarence Darrow, Scopes trial, 1925.
