"The making of the Mishkan resembled the pattern above, one corresponding to the other, so that Shekhinah would be embraced on all sides, above and below. Here in this world, its workmanship is like that of the body, to contain spirit within ─ namely, Shekhinah, who is included above and below. She is Ruach haQodesh (Holy Spirit), continuously entering and drawn into the mystery of the body, so that kernel will dwell within shell, all fittingly."
-- Sefer haZohar, 2:140b (transl. D. Matt)
