Shekhinah (English spelling)

Japanese: シェキーナー(英語表記)shekhīnāh
Shekhinah (English spelling)
It is a Hebrew word meaning "to dwell" or "to abide," but is used in Judaism, especially in rabbinic documents, as a predicate to express the presence of God. According to the rabbinic belief, Shekinah is found in any place or person in this secular world that God has consecrated. Therefore, Shekinah is found not only in a single location such as Mount Sinai, where God appeared to Moses, but also in the chosen people of Israel and in individuals who carry out God's will. [Ishida Tomoo]

Japanese:
〈住むこと〉〈留まること〉を意味するヘブライ語であるが,ユダヤ教,とくにラビ文書において,神の臨在を表現する述語として用いられる。ラビたちの信仰によると,この世俗世界の中のどこにでも,神が聖別した場所や人にはシェキーナーがある。したがって,モーセに神が顕現したシナイ山のような一地点だけではなく,選民イスラエルにも,神意を行う個人にもシェキーナーはあるとされる。【石田 友雄】
