God will Reveal

60 words · March 15, 2025

Fun fact: “Jehovah Jireh” in Genesis 22 does not mean “God my Provider,” despite what that ear-worm of a song says.

In Hebrew, it’s יְהוָה יִרְאֶה, which is rendered YHWH Yireh. Yireh means “to see” or “to make seen," from the root word ra'ah (see).

It is better understood as “God will reveal and make known,” not “God will provide.”
