— Genesis 22:14 (NIV)

People who search bible verses about Jehovah Jireh want Scripture on the compound name YHWH Yireh — "The Lord Will Provide" — not only the general providence or hope lists, and not lamb of God or the cross alone. This page is a numbered list of twelve passages with the NIV text and a short note on each. Related lists: Bible verses about providence, Bible verses about hope, Bible verses about faith, Bible verses about salvation, Bible verses about the lamb of God, Bible verses about the cross, Bible verses about grace, and Bible verse of the day. Jehovah Jireh here means the place-name and provision lines that track God seeing / providing — distinct from a full providence inventory alone. The Ezekiel 48:35 Name is Bible verses about Jehovah Shammah.

Word study (lead theme). In Hebrew, יְהוָה יִרְאֶה YHWH Yireh (Strong's H3070; Bible Hub H3070) — "The Lord Will Provide" (or "The Lord Will See"). Related: רָאָה raah (Strong's H7200; Bible Hub H7200) — to see, appear, provide. Genesis 22:14 names the place after God provided the ram. This list tracks that name and the "God will provide" lines, not the whole providence catalog.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Genesis 22 presses that Abraham called the place Jehovah-jireh — the Lord will provide — and that God did provide a ram (Bible Hub MHC Genesis 22; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Genesis 22). Paul later says God will meet every need according to his riches in glory (Bible Hub MHC Philippians 4; Blue Letter Bible, Matthew Henry on Philippians 4). (Providence and hope lists live on those pages; this list centers the Provider name.)
