The tree of life (Hebrew: עֵץ חַיִּים, romanized: ʿēṣ ḥayyim or no: אִילָן, romanized: ʾilān, lit. 'tree') is a diagram used in Rabbinical Judaism in kabbalah and other mystical traditions derived from it. [1]
Yesod (Hebrew: יְסוֹד Yəsōḏ, Tiberian: Yăsōḏ, "foundation") [1] [2] is a sephirah or node in the kabbalistic Tree of Life, a system of Jewish philosophy. [3] Yesod, located near the base of the Tree, is the sephirah below Hod and Netzach, and above Malkuth (the kingdom).
Sefirot (/ s f ɪ ˈ r oʊ t, ˈ s f ɪr oʊ t /; Hebrew: סְפִירוֹת, romanized: səp̄īrōṯ, plural of Koinē Greek: σφαῖρα, lit.

Etz Chaim (Hebrew: עץ חיים, "Tree of Life") is a literary work that deals with the Kabbalah, written in 1573. The book of Etz Chaim is a summary of the teachings of the Rabbi Isaac Luria, the Arizal (1534-1572). The Arizal was a rabbi and a kabbalist who led a study group on Kabbalah in the city of Safed, in Ottoman Palestine. [1]
Hod (Hebrew הוֹד Hōḏ, lit. 'majesty, splendour, glory') [1] [2] is the eighth sephira of the Kabbalistic Tree of Life.

Hod is associated with qualities such as submission, humility, and intellectual rigor.

[citation needed] The angelic order of Netzach is the Elohim, the ruling Archangel of which is Haniel. Its qlippothic counterpart is A'arab Zaraq. [citation needed]
On the Tree of Life diagram Yetzirah is associated with the sefirot Chesed, Gevurah, Tiferet, Netzach, Hod and Yesod. Together, these six sefirot are known as the Microprosopus (Zeir Anpin) also known as the 'Lesser Countenance' or the 'Small Face.' In this sense, it stands in contrast with the Macroprosopus (Arich Anpin).
In Kabbalah, each of the ten sefirot of the Tree of Life also contains a whole tree inside itself. The realm of Atziluth is thus related to the top three sefirot of the Tree of Life; these three spheres of Keter, Hokhma and Bina are considered to be wholly spiritual in nature and are separated from the rest of the tree by a region of reality ...
