The Sephirot are the ten emanations or attributes of God in Kabbalah. They’re typically depicted as a Tree of Life, with every Sephirah representing a special side of the divine. The pronunciation of the Sephirot can fluctuate relying on the custom, however there are some basic tips that may be adopted.
The primary Sephirah, Kether, is pronounced “keh-ther.” It means “crown” and represents the very best and most unknowable side of God. The second Sephirah, Chochmah, is pronounced “khokh-mah.” It means “knowledge” and represents the side of God that creates and sustains the universe. The third Sephirah, Binah, is pronounced “bee-nah.” It means “understanding” and represents the side of God that receives and interprets the divine knowledge.
