Cognate

Hebrew shekinah (divine presence) and kabod (glory) are functional cognates — the Shekinah is the glorious presence of God. Later Jewish theology uses shekinah where earlier texts say 'the glory of the Lord.'

Same Root

Hebrew kabod (glory, weight) is the visible manifestation of God's presence — God's glory is God made present and perceptible, making 'glory of God' nearly synonymous with divine encounter.

Cognate

Hebrew shekinah (divine presence/glory) and the 'light of the world' image are functional cognates — the Shekinah manifests as radiant light, and Jesus' claim to be the light of the world echoes the Shekinah language.
