However, the concept of God's dwelling is related to Greek terms such as σκηνόω (skēnoō, Strong's G4637), meaning "to dwell" or "to tabernacle."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name Shekanyah or Shekanyahu means "Yahweh has dwelt" or "Yahweh dwells." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, signifying a connection to the divine presence and favor of God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were reflective of the parents' faith or circumstances surrounding the child's birth. The name Shekanyah, incorporating the divine name Yahweh, suggests a deep reverence for God and a recognition of His presence among His people. This name would have been a reminder of God's covenant relationship with Israel and His promise to dwell among them.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7931.htm">shakan</a> and <a href="/hebrew/3050.htm">Yah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"Yah has taken up His abode," the name of several Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Shecaniah (10).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> (<font class="hebrew2">שְׁכַנְיָ֫ה(וּׅ</font>) <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <em>hath taken up his abode</em>); — <font class="hebrew2">שְׁכַנְיָה</font>, <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Σεχενια</font>(<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">ς</font>), etc.: <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>descendant of Jehoiakin</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/3-21.htm">1 Chronicles 3:21</a>,22 (on context see Kit), <a href="/interlinear/ezra/8-3.htm">Ezra 8:3</a>,5. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/ezra/10-2.htm">Ezra 10:2</a> (different from <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> ?). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>3</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>father of a wall-builder</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/3-29.htm">Nehemiah 3:29</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>4</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>father-in-law of Tobiah</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/6-18.htm">Nehemiah 6:18</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>5</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>priestly name:</b></font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>a.</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/12-3.htm">Nehemiah 12:3</a> = <font class="hebrew2">שְׁכַנְיָ֫הוּ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_chronicles/24-11.htm">1 Chronicles 24:11</a>, compare <font class="hebrew2">שְׁכַנְיָה</font> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>3</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/10-5.htm">Nehemiah 10:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/nehemiah/12-14.htm">Nehemiah 12:14</a>.<p> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b> b.</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">שְׁכַנְיָ֫הוּ</font>2Chronicles 31:15. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Shecaniah, Shechaniah <p>Or (prol.)
