Jehovah-jireh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jehovah-jireh (Jehovah/YHWH will provide)^{[citation needed]} According to the Book of Genesis, the place in the land of Moriah where God told Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering. Abraham named this place after Jehovah provided a ram to sacrifice in place of Isaac. Genesis 22:14^[1]

Some translations render it "the LORD will provide", with "LORD" taking the place of the Tetragrammaton. One Latin version of the Bible rendered the name in Latin as Dominus videt ("The Lord sees").^{[citation needed]}

Later tradition states that this place later became the site of the Temple in Jerusalem.^{[citation needed]}
