The Targum Pseudo-Jonathan gives the simple altar law a mystical interior. "An altar of earth ye shall make to My Name, and sacrifice upon it thy burnt offerings and thy sanctified oblations from thy sheep and from thy oxen. And in every place where My Shekinah shall dwell, and thou worship before Me, there will I send My blessing upon thee, and will bless thee" (Exodus 20:21).
The Hebrew says in every place where I cause My Name to be remembered. The Targumist replaces Name with Shekinah — the indwelling feminine Presence of God. This is not a cosmetic change. It is a theology of geography.
The Shekinah is not tied to a single address. Before the Temple, before Jerusalem, before even the Mishkan, the Targum already envisions multiple places where the Presence can dwell. Every altar of earth, properly raised, becomes a candidate. The sanctity is not in the stone or the soil; it is in the arrival of the Presence, wherever She chooses to rest.
Notice the conditional: where My Shekinah shall dwell, AND thou worship before Me. Two variables must meet. Divine Presence alone does not produce blessing; human worship alone does not produce blessing. Only the convergence of both does. Heaven leans down; the worshipper lifts up; and in that small zone of overlap, blessing is poured.
This is why the Targum adds the doubled phrase I will send My blessing upon thee, and will bless thee. Two blessings, not one. The first is the general grace that flows to the place. The second is the specific blessing that names the worshipper by their own life.
The takeaway: a synagogue, a kitchen table, a simple altar of earth — any spot can become a meeting-place if the Presence chooses to dwell and a human being chooses to bow.
