The Shekinah glory, also spelled Shekhinah, is from a Hebrew term שכינה not found in the Bible, but which rabbinical writers denote as the divine Presence of Adonai, Hashem, Heaven, meaning Dwelling, within the Tabernacle and the Temple in Jerusalem. The mysticism of Qabalistic philosophy speculates that it represents the feminine aspect of the Being of the Ein Sof, the radiant glory of the unknowable essence of the One Who Is. The personification of wisdom in Proverbs 8 has been interpreted as a reference to the Shekhinah glory of the L-rd, and has been heretically regarded as a goddess and even more outrageously as the Virgin Spouse, Latin Sponsa.
