The word "SHEKINAH" (she ki nah) is a translation of a Hebrew word not found in the Bible but used in many of the Jewish writings to speak of God's presence. The term means "that which dwells," and is implied throughout the Bible whenever it refers to God's nearness either in a person, object or His glory. It is often used in combination with glory to speak of the presence of God's "Shekinah" glory. The Holman Bible Dictionary
