The Word Shekinah ?

Scott Hutchinson · #1 03-26-2009, 12:01 PM

I hear preachers use the word shekinah when talking about the glory of God,yet this is a word not found in the bible,so should we use it ?
I have heard both pro and con about using the term.
I will post links that give differing views on the term.

It is in the Bible and is a NOUN for the spirit of God - Shekinah.

Blessings, Rhoni

P.S. I am at work so can't look it up but it is in the Old Testament.

Shekinah (alternative transliterations Shechinah, Shekhina, Shechina) is the English spelling of the Hebrew language word that means the glory or radiance of God, or God resting in his house or Tabernacle amongst his people.
The word was coined from verbal cognates in the Bible which describe the "presence" of God in a locality. The verbal cognates are copiously used to describe the "Shekinah" appearances. The word "Shekinah," the concept, as I have defined it, clearly is. The word most certainly is derived from "shakan," and whoever first used the word "Shekinah" coined it as a substantive (noun form) from the verbal forms used to describe the "abiding, dwelling, or habitation" of the physical manifestations of God described in Ex 24:16; Ex 40:35, Nu 9:16-18; and numerous other places where "shakan" is used. The word is also used to describe the mystical "Shekinah" presence in the tabernacle. The word "mishkan," ( ), a derivative of "shakan," (), is often translated "tabernacle." The Hebrew for tabernacle is more often simply "ohel," (), or tent. "Mishkan" means "dwelling place." That is, the "dwelling place" of "Him who dwells" or "Shekinah."
