It conveys the idea of settling down or inhabiting a place. In the context of the Old Testament, it often refers to God's presence dwelling among His people, as well as the physical act of living in a particular location.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of dwelling was deeply significant. It was not merely about physical residence but also about relationship and presence. The Israelites understood God's dwelling among them as a sign of His covenant and favor. The Tabernacle and later the Temple were central to this understanding, as they were seen as the earthly dwelling places of God's presence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7931.htm">shakan</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to dwell<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>dwell (1), lodged (1).<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>cause to dwell, have habitation <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7931.htm">shakan</a> -- cause to dwell, have habitation. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/7931.htm">shakan</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>יִשְׁכְּנָ֖ן ישכנן שַׁכִּ֧ן שכן šak·kin šakkin shakKin yiš·kə·nān yishkeNan yiškənān<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/ezra/6-12.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 6:12</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וֵֽאלָהָ֞א דִּ֣י <b> שַׁכִּ֧ן </b> שְׁמֵ֣הּ תַּמָּ֗ה</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/ezra/6.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> has caused His name <span class="itali">to dwell</span> there<br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/6.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> that hath caused his name <span class="itali">to dwell</span> there<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/6-12.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> may the God who <span class="itali">to dwell</span> his name there<p><b><a href="/text/daniel/4-21.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 4:21</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/4.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בָּרָ֔א וּבְעַנְפ֕וֹהִי <b> יִשְׁכְּנָ֖ן </b> צִפֲּרֵ֥י שְׁמַיָּֽא׃</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/4.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> the birds of the sky <span class="itali">lodged--</span><br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/4.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> of the heaven <span class="itali">had their habitation:</span><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/4-21.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of the field branches <span class="itali">lodged</span> the birds of the sky<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7932.htm">2 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_7932.htm">Strong's Hebrew 7932<br>2 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/shakkin_7932.htm">šak·kin — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/yishkenan_7932.htm">yiš·kə·nān — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405';
