ספר Border or Boundary – signifying division and limitation.ספירות Shining – luminous, shining, like a sapphire or other brilliant stone, signifying the purpose of the Sefirot – to illuminate and radiate revelation.דברים ספירות Inventory – signifying an inventory of deeds of the Holy One, Blessed Be He.ספר Book – signifying a well-ordered and defined blueprint of Creation.מספר Counting, or Number – signifying a Divine limit on Creation (because only that which is finite can be counted or numbered).We use metaphors to help us get closer to understanding the Sephirot, but don’t make the mistake of confusing them with something smaller than us such as thoughts or feelings, when in fact they are far greater than us. The greatness of the Sephirot is beyond most of our comprehension – remember that attainment of even the lowest one would be to reach a state of prophetic vision, as certain biblical prophets did – an advanced state indeed.

The Sephirot are spiritual in nature and highly elevated. They link what is above them – the infinite and ungraspable nature of the Creator – with what is below them, the finite physical creation. The SephirotĪs mentioned in Part 1, the 10 Sephirot can be considered in a way as spiritual lights and as as revealed aspects of God, containing spiritual laws which govern and bring forth all of Creation. This article continues with more in depth intermediate level information, continuing our study of the Tree of Life.
