Binah

Binah (Hebrew: בינה "mind, intellect") is the third sefira on the Tree of Life of the Kabbalah and sits at the very top of the left pillar of Boaz and therefore also belongs to the female principle. It represents the analytical intelligence. Together with Keter (Crown) and Chokmah (Wisdom), she forms the top triad of the Sefirot tree; this is the archetypal world of Atziluth, which corresponds to the Devachan.

Binah is the third path of the 32 paths of wisdom and represents the sanctified intelligence, the firm foundation of primordial wisdom and forms the basis of faith.
