JEHOVAH-JIREH jĭ hō’ və jī’ rə (KJV tr. of יְהוָ֣ה׃׀ יִרְאֶ֑ה, Yahweh will see or provide). The name (KJV) Abraham gave the place on Mt. Moriah where God substituted a ram for his son Isaac (Gen 22:14). Evidently, by the time of the Mosaic record, the statement had become a current proverb. The designation “mount of the Lord” was the usual one for the temple mount in Jerusalem (Isa 2:3, among many others). In view of the latter part of Genesis 22:14, some have suggested that a better pointing of the Heb. text would read: “Yahweh will be seen” (the passive force) or “Yahweh will reveal Himself” (the reflexive force). Actually, a supposed inconsistency does not exist between the renderings “Yahweh will provide” and “Yahweh will appear (or, be seen),” for there is an evident play on the Heb. word that can convey both significations, depending on the stem in which it occurs. Interestingly, the Syr., OL, and Vul. VSS render the Heb verb in the same stem both times.
