And for TJJJ and Scott - the word "shekinah" is NOT "cloud" neither is it "glory" in Exodus 24:16 and Exodus 40:35. It is the Hebrew word that is translated as "abode" in both verses. The word is used as both a noun and a verb.

The word "shekinah" appears a total of 129 times in the Bible.

I believe Rhoni needs to free up some time on her calendar for a date with a couple of gentlemen who will buy her dinner.

That's not the word shekinah. That's shakan. Shakeniah is used as a proper name 10 times. It means "intimate with Jehovah". Shekinah is strictly a Talmudic word meaning "presence of God". Shekinah itself is not in the Hebrew OT. The concept, of course, is.
