Hebrew
The hebrew word Shekinah (presence) was used by the ancient Hebrews to describe the glory of God living with the people. Whether it was in the old tabernacle (which moved around as the people moved) or the temple (which was a fixed building), it was understood by everyone at the time that God wanted to be close to his people. It was the one and only place where heaven and earth were connected.

That's cool. I always forget about God being among us. You should do a talk about it.
I wish we thought about God living our daily lives with us enough to have a word, or maybe a few, to describe it... it's beautiful that the Hebrews did :)
