Netzach (Hebrew:נֶצַח,romanized: Nēṣaḥ,lit. 'eminence, everlastingness, perpetuity') is the seventh of the tensefirot in the Jewish mystical system ofKabbalah. It is located beneathChesed ('loving-kindness'), at the base of the "Pillar of Mercy" which also consists ofChokmah ('wisdom'). Netzach generally translates to 'eternity', and in the context of Kabbalah refers to 'perpetuity', 'victory', or 'endurance'.[1] Within the Sefiroth, Netzach sits geometrically across fromHod.
Netzach is "endurance," thefortitude, andpatience to follow through onpassions. It is paired with Hod as the righteous attributes related to group interactivity, with Netzach beingleadership, the ability to rally others to a cause and motivate them to act; while Hod iscommunity, the ability to do the footwork needed to follow through on ideas and make them happen.[1] Netzach is identified with the right (left leg or foot) when thetree of life is portrayed on the human form, while Hod is on the left (right leg or foot).[citation needed]
Theangelic order of Netzach is theElohim, the rulingArchangel of which isHaniel. Itsqlippothic counterpart is A'arab Zaraq.[citation needed]
