Jehovah Jireh means 'God will provide'

__________________________

Jehovah is the common English translation of God's personal name. (Psalms 83:18)

Jireh is from the Hebrew verb meaning to provide.

This Biblical name is found at Genesis 22:14 and refers to a specific place on one of the mountains in the land of Moriah where Abraham found a ram caught in a thicket and subsequently offered it instead of his son, Isaac, as a sacrifice. Abraham viewed this ram as Jehovah's provision and therefore named the place Jehovah-jireh.

How many different Jehovah's are there in the Bible?

There is only one person named Jehovah. The Bible at Deuteronomy 6:4 says "Hear, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah." (American Standard Version) In the oldest ancient manuscripts available, this name appears in it's Hebrew form over 7000 times. Sometimes confusion comes in when reading certain scriptures that mention names of places that contain the divine name. For example some say that Jehovah-jireh is another name for God. That name is found at Genesis 22:13,14 where we read, "At that Abraham raised his eyes and looked and there, deep in the foreground, there was a ram caught by its horns in a thicket. So Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up for a burnt offering in place of his son. And Abraham began to call the name of that place Je·ho´vah-ji´reh. This is why it is customarily said today: "In the mountain of Jehovah it will be provided." So Jehovah-jireh was not another name for God, but it was the name that Abraham gave to that place in honor of what Jehovah had done for him. At Exodus 17:15, we read that "Moses proceeded to build an altar and to call its name Je·ho´vah-nis´si." So here, Jehovah-nissi was the name given to an alter built by Moses. Another name having similar meaning was Jehovah-shalom. At Judges 6:24, we read about Gideon. "Gid´e·on built an altar there to Jehovah, and it continues to be called Je·ho´vah-sha´lom down to this day. It is yet in Oph´rah of the Abi-ez´rites." Again, this was the name give to a alter, not another name for Jehovah God.


What is the meaning of Jehovah nissi?

Jehovah-Nissi means "the LORD my banner." It stresses that God is our rallying point and our means of victory; the one who fights for His people. The first time this name of God is used is in Exodus 17:8-15 when Israel was fighting against the Amalekites.


What does Jehovah Nissi mean?

In Exodus 17:15-16, the Name Jehovah-Nissi is used and means: The Lord Our Banner (or 'signal pole')Additional information:Jehovah-Nissi was the name of the alter that Moses put up after Israel defeated the Amalekites in Rephidim (Exodus 17:8,13-16). Depending on who translated the phrase, the meaning had a different slant. The Greek Septuagint translators felt that 'nissi' came from 'nus'(flee for refuge) so translated it: 'Jehovah is my Refuge'.The Latin Vulgate felt that 'nissi' came from Na-sas' (hoist, lift up) so translated it : Jehovah is my Exaltation. No matter how one translates 'nissi', the name of God, Jehovah (YHWH), is being glorified.


Where in the bible can you find the name Jehovah Jireh?

Genesis 22:14New King James Version (NKJV) 14 And Abraham called the name of the place, The-Lord-Will-Provide;[a] as it is said tothis day, "In the Mount of the Lord it shall be provided."Footnotes:Genesis 22:14 Hebrew YHWH YirehAccording to Webster's Dictionary, "Jehovah" is, "an erroneous rendering of the ineffable [inexpressible] name JHVH [or YHVH or YHWH] in the Hebrew scriptures." Nelson's Illustrated Bible Dictionary adds:"The divine name Yahweh is usually translated Lord in English versions of the Bible, because it became a practice in late Old Testament Judaism not to pronounce the sacred name YHWH, but to say instead 'my Lord' (Adonai)-a practice still used today in the synagogue. When the vowels of Adonai were attached to the consonants YHWH in the medieval period, the word Jehovah resulted."

God's name for Provider?

None of the names (or titles or descriptive words also referred to as "names") given to Jesus directly mean "the provider." One Hebrew name for God, though, used in the Old Testament is Jehovah-Jireh, which means "God, my provider." If one accepts the doctrine of the Trinity, which would mean that Jesus was God incarnate, then you could say that was also a name of Jesus.
