The Sefer ha-Bahir ("Book of Brightness") is one of the first explicitly kabbalistic works, appearing in Provence in the twelfth century. Written as an enigmatic midrash, it introduces notions destined to become central, such as the divine powers (foreshadowing the sefirot) and feminine elements of the divine. It marks the emergence of medieval Kabbalah in southern France.
