Jehovah-jireh

In the Book of Genesis, Jehovah-jireh was the location in the region of Moriah of the binding of Isaac, where Jehovah told Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering. Abraham named the place after God provided a ram to sacrifice in place of Isaac. This name, hence, carries the meaning, "The Lord will provide".
