And furthermore: the Shekhinah is the precept of ‘establishing a king’. It is this that is written: (Deut. 17:15) You will surely appoint for yourself a king... And, as it were, all the while that the Shekhinah is not in Her place, there is no King, and because the Shekhinah is the kingdom (malkhut) over a person, it is stated of it the precept: You will surely appoint for yourself a king... so that Israel will be, through Her, all of them, the ‘children of kings’.
For there is no king without a kingdom, for in exile: (Prov. 30:23)... the maidservant shall inherit her mistress.
