Deuturonomy 33:12

To Benjamin he said: "The beloved of the Lord (Yahweh) shall dwell in safety by him. He shall cover (Hebr. chofaf) him all day long (all days), and he (God) shall dwell between his shoulders."
[The word cover is the same word used for the wedding canopy under which the bride and groom stand during the wedding ceremony. That God has his dwelling place between his shoulders refers to the fact that Mount Zion (the Temple Mount) in Jerusalem lies between two other mountains, the Mount of Olives and the Western Mountain. These two mountains belong to Benjamin's territory, while Mount Zion belongs to Judah's territory. This blessing thus prophetically describes how God's dwelling place on earth will be located!]
