Sefer HaBahir

Sefer HaBahir, meaning "Book of Brightness," is an early Jewish mystical text from around the 12th century, foundational to Kabbalah. It explores the nature of God, creation, and the divine attributes through symbolic descriptions of ten sefirot—emanations or divine qualities. The book uses poetic language and allegories to reveal hidden spiritual truths, aiming to guide readers toward a deeper understanding of the divine universe and their spiritual connection. While complex, it encourages introspection and understanding the interconnectedness of all existence through mystical insights.
