The Holy Shekinah

Question:

In reading the Bible, I have failed to find one name, “The Holy Shekinah.”

Answer:

The word “Shekinah” is not in the Bible. It is a late Jewish term referring to God’s abiding presence among His people through His glory. It comes from a word meaning “to dwell” and may, according to the Standard Bible Dictionary, be “that which abides.” In a common sense, it is generally applied to the manifestation of glory which abode in the sanctuary over the mercy seat.
