The word 'Shekinah' (Shechinah), which means "that which dwells", is not found in The Bible, but it's description is. Exodus 25:21-22 and Leviticus 16:2 describe a luminous cloud above and between the two cherubs on the Ark of the Covenant. It would have been the only light in the "Most Holy" compartment of the tabernacle, especially benefiting the high priest when he entered the chamber on Atonement Day.

The word, Shekinah is, however, found in the Targumim (the Aramaic paraphrases of the Hebrew Scriptures Exodus 25:8; 29:45, 46; Numbers 5:3; 35:34) where the Hebrew word "dwell" or "tabernacle" is represented by " Shekinah".
