Shechinah: A Chaldee word meaning resting-place, not found in Scripture, but used
by the later Jews to designate the visible symbol of God's presence
in the tabernacle, and afterwards in Solomon's temple. When the Lord
led Israel out of Egypt, he went before them "in a pillar of a
cloud." This was the symbol of his presence with his people. For
references made to it during the wilderness wanderings, see
(Exodus 14:20)
(Exodus 40:34-38; Leviticus 9:23,24; Numbers 14:10; 16:19,42) It is probable that after
the entrance into Canaan this glory-cloud settled in the tabernacle
upon the ark of the covenant in the most holy place. We have, however,
no special reference to it till the consecration of the temple by
Solomon, when it filled the whole house with its glory, so that the
priests could not stand to minister
(1 Kings 8:10-13; 2 Chronicles 5:13,14; 7:1-3)
Probably it remained in the first temple in the holy of holies as the
symbol of Jehovah's presence so long as that temple stood. It
afterwards disappeared.
