יִשְׁכָּן
𐤉𐤔𐤊𐤍
shâkan
shall dwell
To dwell, settle, reside, or inhabit in a place or among a group. In its primary usage, שָׁכַן (shâkan) conveys the act of dwelling—either in a temporary or settled sense—referring both to humans residing in a location and, in particular, to the presence of YHWH among the Israelites in cultic and theological traditions. The term may denote physical occupancy (such as a person or family living in a tent or house), or the settled presence of a community within a region. In certain contexts, it expresses the continued, enduring presence of YHWH in the midst of his people, particularly in relation to the tabernacle (מִשְׁכָּן), thus acquiring an extended theological nuance.
