Yes we know Sephiroth has clones, but was are those clones purposes? Well I was looking for AC information, I also came across some cool information of the true meaning of sephiroth.


Just like there is a concept of physical DNA, there is a concept of cosmic DNA, spiritual realities called "Sephiros" or in singular form "Sephiroth" which possess the potential for all that history can and will ever produce. They act as spiritual transformers, spiritual filters for the awesome and sublime light of God, resulting in the manifestation of different traits that form the basis of all creation and mankind.


Together there are 10 Sephiros. Each having a different trait, for example, the three first Sephiros are Keser (Crown),
Chochmah (Wisdom), and Binah (Understanding). These three highest Sephiros are supposed to be the Chain of Command, and the most holy. Keser, Chochomah, and Bineh are supposedly so holy that we don't feel their effects at this stage of history. The order of the Sephiros importance goes as follows:


Keser -- Crown
Chochmah -- Wisdom (Abstract Knowledge)
Binah -- Understanding (Relatable Knowledge)
Chesed -- Kindness
Gevurah -- Strength
Tifferes -- Harmony
Netzach -- Dominance
Hod -- Glory
Yesod -- Foundation
Malchus -- Kingship

Each of the Sephiros, control one of the 10 millenniums. We are, right now, in the 6th millennium, therefore, controlled by the Sephiroth, Yesod (Foundation). Our millennium is 5001-6000 years from creation. Each millennium has a specific trait, or flavor of history. In the Sephiroth, Chesed (Kindness) 0-1000 years the people lived long lives and were undeserving of them. Then in the Sephiroth, Gevurah (Strength) 1001 to 2000 years a great flood supposedly took place. And so on and so forth.


After reading this information, I'm sure one could figure out why the name Sephiroth was given to our beloved One Winged Angel. Each Millennia has a trait or Sephiroth that will control it's fate. In the world of Final Fantasy 7, a man named Sephiroth emerged, almost changing the planets course of history by destroying it with a giant meteor. The 10 Sephiros each altered history in some way with their personalities, i.e. the long lives, the flood, etc. The Sephiros controlled human history and decided on the fate of their millennium. Sephiroth of Final Fantasy 7 had decided to alter history, and take things into his own hands much like each Sephiros. He thought of himself as the leader of humanity, and the one who would decide on the fate of mankind.


From one of my source websites, I took a picture that was placed on their website. A diagram of how all the Sephiros intertwine and connect with one another. One would notice that the Chain of Command Sephiros are the three highest on the "Tree of Sephiroth."


Note: The singular form in latin is called "Sephirah" instead of "Sephiroth."


Note 2: The Japanese name for Sephiroth is "Sefirosu." This directly goes back to the original spelling of Sephiros, which is "Sefiros." In japanese romanization, a 'u' is placed after certain letters due to the katakana sounding and pronunciation. Though in this word "Sefirosu" the u is silent, as it is in many other words.

Good job looking up all that info, dude!!!! I also read about that, but it was before I ever was on this forum. Anyways, it has to do with something in the Kabbalah(Ancient Hebrew Text). Sephrioth means "tree of life" in the book of Kabbalah. In the Kabbalah, the tree of life is the path of God and there are 10 stations. Each station is called a sephria. The lowest stations is earthly, material desires and the highest level is Heaven.

I've got more info on it if you wanna know anything else. I thought that was really cool cuz it shows that the games creators don't just base their games on Japanese tradition. It showed that they would use facts and history from other cultures to be creative.
