Daath, Hebrew, «knowledge,» is the non-Sephirah in the midst of the Abyss, situated on the Middle Pillar of the Kabbalah Tree of Life between Kether and Tiphareth. Daath in many ways is the most controversial element of the Kabbalistic tree, being both complex and obscure. It is a downward reflection of Kether, representing the closest thing to the knowledge of Kether that is attainable below the Abyss. It is also knowledge, in the Biblical sense, of Chokmah and Binah, the primal male and female centers of the tree.

Daath refers to, or is, the omnipresence knowledge of God throughout the Sephiroth, not just in one Sephirah. This is why Daath means knowledge. Daath includes the first conscious knowledge, hokhmah, of Kether down to the last distinct and created reflection of the Sephiroth. In Binah Daath is not longer hokhmah, pure contemplation, but becomes accessible; in Binah, ontocosmological intelligence becomes the common intellection of the seven lower Sephirahs by which universal creation is conceived, constructed, and ruled. Even though Daath appears vaguely in the Kabbalistic tree it is not a Sephirah, or the eleventh Sephirah of the Sephiroth; ten Sephirahs complete the Sephiroth and Daath is the knowledge throughout.
