English:Kabbalah (Hebrew קַבָּלָה "tradition/reception", Standard Hebrew Qabbala, Tiberian Hebrew Qabbālāh; also written variously as Cabala, Cabalah, Cabbala, Cabbalah, Kabala, Kabalah, Kabbala, Qabala, Qabalah, Kaballah) is an interpretation (exegesis, hermeneutic) key, "soul" of the Torah (Hebrew Bible), or the religious mystical system in Judaism claiming an insight into divine nature. It also led to separate non-Jewish syncretic traditions of esotericism: religious
Christian Cabala (often spelled "Cabala" in English, to distinguish it) and occult
Hermetic Qabalah (usually spelled "Qabalah" in English, to distinguish it).
