Definition: The difference between Behinot and Sefirot

What is previous to Behina Dalet (the fourth aspect) is called Behinot (aspects), and what is inside Behina Dalet is called Sefirot. The difference is great. Because whatever is prior to Behina Dalet, is not yet grasped within the emanation as its components, the components of its nature, from which it is built, but is regarded as the attributes of the Emanator that come and build it. Whereas, the aspects 0,1,2,3,4 (Shoresh, Aleph, Bet, Gimel, Dalet), which are already included in Behina Dalet, they are the Sefirot, they are what shines in the emanation as the animating force, the force of life, as forces coming from the Emanator to the emanation and building it.
