A compound divine name formed from YHWH (the personal name of God) and yireh (from raah, "to see/provide"). It occurs once in Scripture — spoken by Abraham on Mount Moriah after God provided a ram in place of Isaac — and became the name of that place as a lasting testimony to God's faithful provision.
This name reveals a foundational truth about God's character: He sees human need before we perceive it and provides from His own resources. The Moriah event was a shadow of Calvary — on that same mountain range, God would provide His own Son as the final substitutionary sacrifice. Every season of desperate waiting is an invitation to trust the God who sees, who provides, and who never arrives late.
