The shekhinah (Biblical Hebrew: שכינה šekīnah; also Romanized shekina, shekinah, schechina, schechinah, shechina, shechinah) is the English transliteration of a Hebrew word meaning "dwelling" or "settling" and denotes the dwelling or settling of the divine presence of God. This term does not occur in the Bible, and is from rabbinic literature.
The word shekhinah is not present in the Bible, and is first encountered in the rabbinic literature. The Semitic root from which shekhinah is derived, š-k-n, means "to settle, inhabit, or dwell". In the verb form, it is often used to refer to the dwelling of a person or animal in a place, or to the dwelling of God. Nouns derived from the root included shachen ("neighbor") and mishkan (a dwelling-place, whether a secular home or a holy site such as the Tabernacle).
