Jehovah jireh意思

"Jehovah Jireh" is a term derived from the Bible, specifically from the Book of Genesis. It is a name of God that means "The Lord Will Provide" in English. The term is a combination of the Hebrew words "YHWH" (יהוה), which is often translated as "Jehovah" or "Yahweh" (the personal name of God), and "Jireh" (יראה), which means "to provide" or "will see to it."

The name "Jehovah Jireh" is most famously associated with an incident in Genesis 22, where God tests Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac. At the last moment, just as Abraham is about to sacrifice Isaac, God intervenes and provides a ram to be sacrificed instead. This event is known as the "Binding of Isaac" and is a pivotal moment in the Abrahamic faiths.

After this event, the place where it occurred was named "Jehovah Jireh" (also sometimes referred to as "The Mount of the Lord's Providence"), signifying God's provision and faithfulness. This name is significant in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions, as it illustrates God's willingness to provide for his people and his ability to intervene in human affairs.
