Divine presence. The Bible refers to God's dwelling in the midst of the children of Israel (Exod. 13:21-2; 40:34-8). Subsequently the concept of the Shekhinah embodied God's presence in the world. In Kabbalistic sources the term Shekhinah refers to the tenth Sefirah, representing God's feminine aspect.
Shekhinah (×©×›×™× ×” - alternative transliterations Shekinah, Shechinah, Shekina, Shechina, Schechinah) is the English spelling of a feminine Hebrew language word that means the dwelling or settling, and is used to denote the dwelling or settling presence of God, especially in the Temple in Jerusalem.
