==As a representative sefirah== Properly, Daʻat is not a sefirah, but rather is all ten sefirot united as one. Nevertheless, Daʻat is sometimes counted as a sefirah instead of [[Keter]], from the perspective of finite creation, using Daʻat to represent the "reflection of" (the "inner dimension" of) the infinity of Keter.{{sfnp|Scholem|1974}} Thus Daʻat appears in the configuration of the sefirot along the middle axis, directly beneath Keter. It corresponds to the [[image of God]]. Alternate countings of the sefirot produce 10 powers ("10 and not 9, 10 and not 11" - ''[[Sefer Yetzirah]]'') by either including Keter or Daʻat. In the scheme of [[Moses ben Jacob Cordovero]], Daʻat is omitted, while in the scheme of [[Isaac Luria]], Keter (Will) is omitted. Cordovero describes the sefirot as one light in ten vessels.{{sfnp|Cordovero|1592}} Luria follows this, but lists sefirot beginning with [[Chokmah]] (Wisdom) to describe their outer dimensions.{{sfnp|Luria|1573}}
