The earliest Greek usage of σκηνόω meant dwelt regardless of a tent, just like the Akkadian shakanu. By the time of the LXX it was associated with tent and the tabernacle. Note also Hebrew has a different word for tent. However, מִשְׁכָּן as well as tent of the meeting was used for tabernacle. | |

The Zohar is very clear, right up front, that the shekinah is related to this same root and has many of the same attributes that the Johannine corpus attributes to Jesus. I also wrote "semitic" not Hebrew loan word. It doesn't surprise me that it's also found in Akkadian. In terms of the difficulty of the "Shekinah having a separate will," It'd be interesting to hear how you interpret Jesus saying "not my will, but yours be done." There is always a tension between God as a monad and as a plurality. | |

| Apr 12, 2021 at 9:09 | comment | added | Perry Webb | Kittel seems to disagree that σκηνόω is a loan word. See Michaelis, W. (1964–). σκηνή, σκῆνος, σκήνωμα, σκηνόω, ἐπισκηνόω, κατασκηνόω, σκηνοπηγία, σκηνοποιός. G. Kittel, G. W. Bromiley, & G.
