 The Zohar, is the foundation work in the literature of Jewish mystical thought known as Kabbalah. It is a group of books including commentary on the mystical aspects of the Torah the five books of Moses and scriptural interpretations as well as material on mysticism, mythical cosmogony, and mystical psychology. The Zohar contains a discussion of the nature of God, the origin and structure of the universe, the nature of souls, redemption, the relationship of Ego to Darkness and true self to The Light of God, and the relationship between the universal energy and man. Its scriptural exegesis can be considered an esoteric form of the Rabbinic literature known as Midrash, which elaborates on the Torah.

The Zohar is mostly written in what has been described as an exalted, eccentric style of Aramaic. Aramaic, the language of Israel in the Second Temple period of 539 B. C. E. or 70 C. E. Aramaic was the original language of large sections of the biblical books of Daniel and Ezra, and is the main language of the Talmud.
