Bible commentaries

Also known as YHWH-Jireh or Yahweh-Jireh. After God provided a ram to be sacrificed in place of his son Isaac, Abraham called the name of that place "the Lord will provide". Jesus said that he was the bread of life and whoever who came to him would find provision (John 6:35). This name was given to God by the patriarch Abraham in Genesis 22:14. In obedience to God's command, Abraham offered his son Isaac as a sacrifice. Before Abraham could finish the offering, god stopped him and provided a ram to take his son's place. God's redemption on Mt. Moriah motivated Abraham to name that place Yahweh Jireh. Although it is true that God is mighty and faithful to supply all our needs, the name Yahweh-Jireh is not a promise of economic prosperity, but a promise of redemption of sins, which included poverty, but this wasn't its purpose. We must die for our sins (Romans 6:23) but Yahweh-Jireh has provided a sacrifice in our place, his only and beloved Son. He is the Lamb of God, which takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29).
