ellauri183.html on line 400: Oi J-la, täynnä myötätuntoa, joka asut korkealla, annapa todellista hermolepoa sen naaraspuolisen avataarisi Jumalallisen läsnäolon Shechinahin siivillä pyhän ja puhtaan ylevissä palloissa, jotka loistavat maailmanvahvuuden loistotorneina, [mainitse hänen heprealainen nimensä ja isänsä nimi tässä]:n sielulle joka on mennyt hänen supernaaliseen [ei-infernaaliseen] maailmaansa, sillä hänen sielunsa muistoksi on lahjoitettu rakkautta ja huisisti massia; Olkoon hänen lepopaikkansa Gan Edenissä. Siksi, suojelkoon Kaikki armollinen häntä siipiensä kannella ikuisesti ja sitokoon hänen sielunsa elämän lepositeisiin. Herra on hänen perintönsä; Levätköön hän leposijassaan rauhassa; Ja sanokaamme: Åja.
xxx/ellauri166.html on line 227: the Lord shall have them in derision; which is a repetition of the same thing in other words; and is made partly to show the certainty of their disappointment and ruin, and partly to explain who is meant by him that sits in the heavens. The Targum calls him, "the Word of the Lord"; and Alshech interprets it of the Shechinah. Kimchi, Aben Ezra, & R. Sol. Ben Melech in loc.
xxx/ellauri166.html on line 299: Shechinah שכינה (also spelled Shekhinah) is derived from the word shochen שכן, “to dwell within.” The Shechinah is Cod or that which Cod is dwelling within. Sometimes we translate Shechinah as “The Divine Presence.” The word Shechinah is feminine, and so when we refer to Cod as the Shechinah, we say “She.” Of course, we’re still referring to the same One Cod, just in a different modality. After all, you were probably wondering why we insist on calling Cod “He.” We’re not talking about a being limited by any form—certainly not a body that could be identified as male or female. "It" would be better, only it reminds one too much of Freud's id. "They" would sound dangerously polytheistic.
xxx/ellauri166.html on line 304: From that initial catastrophe, the highest sparks fell to the lowest places. In particular, Shechinah descended within this world to seek out our souls (also feminine), so that this world and this life of ours should play out as not just another zero-sum game, but as a win-win investment with incomparable returns.
xxx/ellauri166.html on line 306: The Shechinah Herself also stumbles and falls into the mud. Her children, our own souls, bring her there. So that now She, too, can no longer redeem them without redeeming Herself. Her destiny becomes wrapped up in theirs.
xxx/ellauri166.html on line 316: Shechinah is a Chaldee word meaning resting-place, not found in Scripture, but used by the later Jews to designate the visible trace of Cod'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 ; 40:34-38 ; Leviticus 9:23 Leviticus 9:24 ; Numbers 14:10 ; Numbers 16:19 Numbers 16:42 .
