Shekhinah 1

The Shekinah is the Liberating Angel who delivers the world in all ages, who is ever near to man and never separated from the just. Of her it is said: " Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. But it is stated that this Liberating Angel manifests as male and female, being male when it dispenses the celestial benedictions on the world below, because it then resembles a male nourishing the female; but when charged with offices of judgment it is called female, as a woman who carries her child in the womb of her.
