Rabbi Yiḥyah Qafiḥ, for instance, held that one must not use parchments written by, or eat meat slaughtered by, believers in Kabbalah because these are dedicated to Zeir Anpin ( one of the partzufim of the 10 sephirot ), a concept apparently distinct from the Unfathomable Almighty Creator.

Alternative configurations of the sephirot are given by different schools in the historical development of Kabbalah, with each articulating different spiritual aspects.

Two sephirot ( Binah and Malchut ) are feminine, as the female principle in Kabbalah describes a vessel that receives the outward male light, then inwardly nurtures and gives birth to lower sephirot.

In Kabbalah, while God is an absolutely simple ( non-compound ), infinite Unity beyond grasp, as described in Jewish philosophy by Maimonides, through His Kabbalistic manifestations such as the Sephirot and the Shekhinah ( Divine Presence ), we relate to the living dynamic Divinity that emanates, enclothes, is revealed in, and incorporates, the multifarious spiritual and physical plurality of Creation within the Infinite Unity.

" As Kabbalah sees the Torah as the Divine blueprint of Creation, so any entity or idea in Creation receives its existence through an ultimate lifeforce in Torah interpretation.

In 16th century Lurianic Kabbalah, Atik Yomin becomes the inner Partzuf of Keter, synonymous with Divine Delight, that enclothes within and motivates Arich Anpin, the outer Partzuf of Keter, synonymous with Divine Will.
