Gevurah is the fifth of the ten sefirot, and second of the emotive attributes in Creation.
Gevurah is associated in the soul with the power to restrain one's innate urge to bestow goodness upon others, when the recipient of that good is judged to be unworthy and liable to misuse it.
The Ten Sefirot: Gevurah (628 words)
Gevurah appears in the configuration of the sefirot along the left axis, directly beneath binah, and corresponds in the tzelem Elokim to the "left arm."
Through the "dual effort" of chesed and gevurah, not only to form reality, but to rectify reality (through the means of "the left arm repels while the right draws near"), these fallen sparks are redeemed and elevated to return and unite with their ultimate source.
The spiritual state identified in Chassidut as corresponding to the sefirah of gevurah is that of yirah (fear).
