187, 188, 189, 197. _God's Presence, Dwelling_, etc. J. G., pp.
135-9: "Shecinah, or God's Dwelling Presence". "God is said to be nearer
to this man than to that, more in one place than in another. Thus he is

and S., shall beget male children. Therefore the Jews hold this rite of
collocation ... to this day.... They are bound to place their ... house
of office in the very same situation ... that the uncomely necessities
... might not fall into the Walk and Ways of God, whose Shecinah or
