abode of an order of angels has been called in Hebrew, Yetsirah meaning
formation. The formations were the first realms created from the emanations of
the Source of the Whole of Existence. They are the chief domains or angelic
realms. They were formed as twelve domains. The spiritual structure of each
domain contains twelve orbs of light.
Each orb of light within a formation or domain is called, in Hebrew, a Sefira or Sephira, which means an aspect or principal of the Source of the Whole of Existence or a portal of light. Cabalistic tradition speaks of the ten portals of light that are the doorways of eternity. In actuality there are twelve. In combination, all twelve are called the Sefiroth or Sephiroth. These twelve portals of light combine aspects or principals of the source of the Whole of Existence within each.
All forms are made up of
their own combined energies or Sephiroth. The Sephiroth is also known as the
Tree of Life. It is explained in scriptures

living being next to or alongside of its "river of life".
