Pasook 30. from the Zohar Sulam Commentary on Parasha Bechukotai

וְנָתַתִּי מִשְׁכָּנִי בְּתוֹכְכֶם וְגוֹ'. וְנָתַתִּי מִשְׁכָּנִי, דָּא שְׁכִינְתָּא. מִשְׁכָּנִי: מַשְׁכּוֹנָא דִּילִי. דְּהִיא אִתְמַשְׁכְּנָא בְּחוֹבַיְיהוּ דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל. וְנָתַתִּי מִשְׁכָּנִי, מַשְׁכּוֹנִי וַדַּאי. מְתַל לב"נ דַּהֲוָה רְחִימָא לְאָחֳרָא, אָ"ל וַדַּאי בִּרְחִימוּתָא עִלָּאָה דְּאִית לִי גַּבָּךְ, בָּעֵינָא לְדַיְּירָא עִמָּךְ. אָמַר הֵיךְ אֶנְדַּע דְּתֵידוּר גַּבַּאי, נָטַל כָּל כִּסּוּפָא דְּבֵיתֵיהּ, וְאַיְיתֵי לְגַבֵּיהּ, אָמַר הָא מַשְׁכּוֹנָא לְגַבָּךְ, דְּלָא אִתְפְּרַשׁ מִנָךְ לְעָלְמִין.

Translation

"And I will set My Tabernacle among you" (Vayikra 26:11). The Tabernacle is the Shechinah. "My Tabernacle," means My pledge, as THE SHECHINAH was pledged because of the sins of Yisrael AND WENT INTO EXILE WITH THEM. "And I will set My Tabernacle," My pledge, surely. This is like the fable about a man who loved his neighbor. He said to him: 'I have the highest regard for you and wish to dwell with you.' HIS FRIEND said: 'How can I be sure you shall live with me?' He took all the delightful objects of his house and brought them to him. He said: 'Here is my pledge that I will never part from you.'

chanoch's Commentary

The pasuk is clear as read yet no one truly understands the meaning of the verse. How does the Schechina live among the Children of Israel while in exile. No one sees her and it is hard to truly know her unless one does the Mitzvot of the Torah or at least studies those Mitzvot. The study leads to the doing. That is the Schechina among us. Read this again and realize the power of this commentary.

כַּךְ קוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא, בָּעָא לְדַיְּירָא בְּהוּ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵל, מָה עֲבַד, נָטַל כִּסּוּפָא דִּילֵיהּ, וְנָחִית לְהוּ לְיִשְׂרָאֵל. אָמַר לוֹן, יִשְׂרָאֵל, הָא מַשְׁכּוֹנָא דִּילִי גַּבַּיְיכוּ, בְּגִין דְּלָא אֶתְפְּרַשׁ מִנַּיְיכוּ לְעָלְמִין. ואע"ג דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא אִתְרְחִיק מִינָן, מַשְׁכּוֹנָא שָׁבִיק בִּידָן, וַאֲנָן נַטְרִין הַהוּא כִּסּוּפָא דִּילֵיהּ, מַאן דְּיִבְעֵי מַשְׁכּוֹנֵיהּ יֵיתֵי לְדַיְּירָא גַּבָּן בְּג"כ וְנָתַתִּי מִשְׁכָּנִי בְּתוֹכְכֶם, מַשְׁכּוֹנָא אֶתֵּן בִּידַיְיכוּ, בְּגִין דְּאֵדּוּר עִמְּכוֹן. ואע"ג דְּיִשְׂרָאֵל הַשְׁתָּא בְּגָלוּתָא, מַשְׁכּוֹנָא דְּקוּדְשָׁא בְּרִיךְ הוּא הוּא גַּבַּיְיהוּ. וְלָא שָׁבְקוּ לֵיהּ לְעָלְמִין.

Translation

Likewise, the Holy One, blessed be He, wished to dwell among Yisrael. What did He do? He took His precious delight, THE SHECHINAH, and brought it down to Yisrael. He said to them: 'Here I give you My pledge, so that I will never part from you.' Though the Holy One, blessed be He, has gone away from us, He left the pledge in our hands, AS THE SHECHINAH IS WITH US IN EXILE, and we keep His delight. When He asks for His pledge, He will come to dwell with us. Hence, IT IS WRITTEN: "And I will set My Tabernacle (Heb. mishkan) among you," meaning I will give a pledge (Heb. mashkon) in your hands that I will dwell with you. And though Yisrael are now in exile, they have the pledge of the Holy One, blessed be He, and they never left Him.

chanoch's Commentary

The pasuk is clear as written. The play on the Hebrew words Mishkan and Mishkon is particularly significant for us to understand. The Mishkan and the Temple is our pledge that we will be redeemed. from exile. That is why the Prophet Ezekiel teaches that the third and final Temple will be built in a different location which will be created by an earthquake that will leave certain mountains as part of theis location. Read the last few chapters of Ezekiel and the commentaries on the website Azamra.org to understand this not well known teaching within Judaism. Why do you think it will happen this way?

Translation

"and My Spirit shall not abhor you" (Ibid.). This is likened to a man who loved his friend and wished to dwell with him. What did he do? He took his own bed, brought it to his house and said: 'Here is my bed in your house, so that I shall not go away from you, your bed and your possessions.' So did the Holy One, blessed be He, say: '"And I will set My Tabernacle among you: and My soul shall not abhor you." Behold My bed, THE SHECHINAH, in your house. Now that My bed is with you, know that I shall not be separated from you.' Therefore, "and My soul shall not abhor you;" I WILL NOT GO AWAY FROM YOU.
