Pronunciation: yeh-ho-vaw' yir-eh'
Phonetic Spelling: (yeh-ho-vaw' yir-eh')
Definition: "The LORD Will Provide"
Meaning: Jehovah-Jireh

Word Origin: Derived from יְהוָה (YHWH, Strong's 3068) meaning "The LORD" and the root רָאָה (ra'ah, Strong's 7200) meaning "to see" or "to provide."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Yhvh Yireh," the concept of God's provision is echoed in the New Testament, such as in Philippians 4:19 (Strong's Greek 4137, πληρόω, plēroō - "to fill, fulfill, supply").

Usage: The term "Yhvh Yireh" is a compound name of God, signifying His provision and foresight. It is often translated as "The LORD Will Provide," emphasizing God's ability to foresee and provide for the needs of His people. This name reflects the belief in God's providential care and His ability to meet the needs of His followers.

Cultural and Historical Background: The name "Yhvh Yireh" is rooted in the narrative of Genesis 22, where God tests Abraham's faith by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac. As Abraham demonstrates his obedience, God intervenes and provides a ram as a substitute for Isaac. This event takes place on Mount Moriah, which later becomes the site of the Temple in Jerusalem. The name "Yhvh Yireh" thus carries deep significance in Jewish and Christian traditions, symbolizing God's provision and faithfulness.
