The sefirot are the ten spheres on the Tree of Life. Each sefirah (singular of sefirot) represents a different aspect of the Divine, as well as aspects of human consciousness and existence. These are, from top to bottom: [14] Keter (crown) Hokhmah (wisdom) Binah (intelligence) Hesed (mercy) Gevurah (judgement) Tiferet (beauty) Netsah (lasting ...
Sefirot (/ s f ɪ ˈ r oʊ t, ˈ s f ɪr oʊ t /; Hebrew: סְפִירוֹת, romanized: səfiroṯ, plural of Koinē Greek: σφαῖρα, lit. 'sphere' [1]), [2] meaning emanations, are the 10 attributes/emanations in Kabbalah, [3] through which Ein Sof ("infinite space") reveals itself and continuously creates both the physical realm and the seder hishtalshelut (the chained descent of the ...
The concept of Binah has its roots in early Jewish mystical texts, such as the Sefer Yetzirah, which dates between the 2nd and 6th centuries CE.In this foundational work, Binah is associated with the sefirot, the ten attributes through which the Infinite reveals itself and continuously creates both the physical realm and higher metaphysical realms.
The anthropomorphic metaphor of Adam Qadmon denotes the Yosher "Upright" arrangement of the sefirot as the tree of life, which is then personified in the form of man, though not yet manifest. "Kadmon" signifies "primary of all primaries", the first pristine emanation, still united with the Ein Sof.
In Kabbalah, each of the ten sefirot of the Tree of Life also contains a whole tree inside itself.

Hod sits below Gevurah and across from Netzach in the tree of life; Yesod is to the south-east of Hod. It has four paths, which lead to Gevurah, Tiphereth, Netzach, and Yesod. All the sephirot are likened to different parts of the body and the tree itself to a homunculus. Netzach and Hod are likened to the two feet of a person, the left and right.

The three sefirot of the left column that would receive and conceal the Divine light, instead share and reveal it. [2]
Tiferet is the middle of the tree. Five Sefirot surround it: above are Chesed at the right (south) and Gevurah at the left (north), and below are Netzach at the right, Hod at the left, and Yesod directly below. Together these six are a single entity, Zer Anpin, which is the masculine counterpart of the feminine sefira Malkuth.
