{{Four Worlds}}Atziluth or Atzilut (also Olam Atsiluth, ×¢×Ö¹×Ö¸× ×ֲצִ×××ּת, literally "the World of Emanation") is the highest of four worlds in which exists the Kabbalistic Tree of Life. It is also known as "near to God."MEIJERS, L. D., and J. TENNEKES. âSPIRIT AND MATTER IN THE COSMOLOGY OF CHASSIDIC JUDAISM.â Symbolic Anthropology in the Netherlands, edited by P.E.

Atziluth is the realm of pure divinity. The four worlds of Kabbalah relate to the Tree of Life in two primary ways: - Wands01.jpg -

- Firstly, it is taught that the whole tree is contained in each of the four worlds, and in this manner they are described one on top of another, and in symbolic form, by a diagram called Jacob's Ladder.
- Secondly, is taught that the Tree of Life can be subdivided into four horizontal sections, each representing one of the four worlds.
Origins
The word is derived from "atzal" in reference to {{bibleverse|Ezekiel||42:6}}; and in this sense it was taken over into the Kabbalah from Solomon ibn Gabirol's Meḳor Ḥayyim (The Fountain of Life), which was much used by Kabbalists. The theory of emanation, which is conceived as a free act of the will of God, endeavors to surmount the difficulties that attach to the idea of creation in its relation to God. These difficulties are threefold:- the act of creation involves a change in the unchangeable being of God;
- it is incomprehensible how the absolutely infinite and perfect being could have produced such imperfect and finite beings;
- a creatio ex nihilo is difficult to imagine.
- In the Atzilah-world the Shekinah alone rules;
- in the Beri'ah-world are the throne of God and the souls of the just under the dominion of Akatriel ("Crown of God");
- in the Yetzirah-world are the "holy creatures" (ḥayyot) of Ezekiel's vision, and the ten classes of angels ruled over by Metatron;
- and in the Assiah-world are the Ofanim, and the angels that combat evil, governed by Sandalphon.
- the Atzilah-world represents the ten Sephirot;
- the Beriah-world (world of creation) the throne of God, emanating from the light of the Sephirot;
- the Yezirah-world (world of becoming) the ten classes of angels, forming the halls for the Sephirot;
- and the Assiah-world (world of making, that is, of form) the different heavens and the material world.
