Ḥokhma (Kabbalah)

The light initially spreads and emerges from the Creator as light of Ḥokhma, which is the entirety of its life force belonging to that emanated being. It incorporates the first level of the will to receive and is called the first expansion, or the first level (Talmud Eser Sefirot, v. 1, Q & A 69). This first level is called Ḥokhma, while the light it contains is called ḥaya.
