Sephiroth (Hebrew, Jewish). The ten emanations of Deity; the highest is formed by the concentration of the Ain Soph Aur, or the Limitless Light, and each: Sephira produces by emanation another Sephira.
The names of the Ten Sephiroth are -
1. Kether - The Crown;
2. Chokmah - Wisdom;
3. Binah - Understanding;
4. Chesed- - Mercy;
5. Geburah - Power;
6. Tiphereth - Beauty;
7. Netzach - Victory;
8. Hod - Splendour;
9. Jesod_Foundation; and
10. Malkuth - The Kingdom.
The conception of Deity embodied in the Ten Sephiroth is a very sublime one, and each Sephira is a picture to the Kabbalist of a group of exalted ideas, titles and attributes, which the name but faintly represents. Each Sephira is called either active or passive, though this attribution may lead to error; passive does not mean a return to negative existence; and the two words only express the relation between individual Sephiroth, and not any absolute quality.
