The word shekinah means “God dwelling,”3 a term used throughout Scripture to describe God’s presence with His people (Ex. 25:8; 1 Ki. 6:13). The Shekinah Glory was the literal, physical manifestation of God dwelling among the Jewish nation prior to the coming of the Messiah. Twelfth-century Jewish philosopher Maimonides believed the Shekinah was “a distinct entity” from God, “a light created to be an intermediary between God and the world.”

The term "Shekinah," which is Hebrew, whereas "Memra" and "Yeḳara" are Aramaic, took the place of the latter two in Talmudand Midrash, and thus absorbed the meaning which they have in the Targum, where they almost exclusively occur. Since the Shekinah is light, those passages of the Apocrypha and New Testament which mention radiance, and in which the Greek text reads δόξα, refer to the Shekinah, there being no other Greek equivalent for the word

Pharaoh grudgingly permitted his Israelite slaves to leave Egypt, they journeyed from Ramses to Succoth to Etham. Leading the caravan was God Himself, who “went before them by day in a pillar of cloud . . . and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light,” so they could travel by day and by night (Ex. 13:21). The “Angel of God” was God (יהוה)‎ Himself, manifested in His Shekinah Glory, as a pillar that cast darkness on the Egyptians but “gave light by night” to Israel (v. 20). It was God’s presence via the Shekinah Glory that caused Israel to see “the great work which the LORD had done in Egypt; so the people feared the LORD, and believed the LORD and His servant Moses” (v. 31)

Generations after Israel left Egypt and took possession of the Promised Land, King David wanted to build a house for the Lord in Jerusalem—a magnificent Temple on Mount Moriah. At the dedication service, under King Solomon, the Lord’s house “was filled with a cloud, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the LORD filled the house of God” (2 Chr. 5:13–14) the Talmud. Ab. R. N. xxxviii. says: "The Shekinah descended to earth, or will have descended, ten times (as to the tenth see Schechter's note, Recension A, ad loc.):

to the garden of Eden (Gen. iii. 8);
when the Tower of Babel was built (ib. xi. 5);
to Sodom (ib. xxi.);
in the burning bush (Ex. R. ii.)
to Egypt (Ex. iii. 8);
to the Red Sea (II Sam. xxii. 10);
upon Sinai (Ex. xix. 10);
in the pillar of cloud (Num. xi. 25);
to the Sanctuary (Ezek. xliv. 2);

...and it will again descend at the time of Gog and Magog (Zech. xiv. 4). The Tabernacle was erected in order that the Shekinah might dwell on earth (Num. R. xii.); and it actually entered the Holy of Holies (Sanh. 103b)
