Introduction:
The term "Jehovah-the" is not a direct phrase found in the Bible but is often used in theological discussions to refer to the various compound names of God that begin with "Jehovah" (YHWH) in the Old Testament. These compound names reveal different aspects of God's character and His relationship with His people. The name "Jehovah" itself is a Latinized form of the Tetragrammaton, YHWH, which is the covenant name of God revealed to Moses in Exodus 3:14. The compound names of Jehovah are significant in understanding the multifaceted nature of God as depicted in the Scriptures.

Jehovah-Jireh (The Lord Will Provide):
This name is found in Genesis 22:14, where Abraham names the place where God provided a ram as a substitute for Isaac. The Berean Standard Bible states, "And Abraham called that place The LORD Will Provide. So to this day it is said, 'On the mountain of the LORD it will be provided.'" This name emphasizes God's provision for His people, both in physical needs and in the ultimate provision of salvation through Jesus Christ.

Jehovah-Rapha (The Lord Who Heals):
In Exodus 15:26, God reveals Himself as Jehovah-Rapha, saying, "If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in His eyes, if you pay attention to His commands and keep all His statutes, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD who heals you." This name highlights God's power to heal and restore, both physically and spiritually.

Jehovah-Nissi (The Lord Is My Banner):
This name is found in Exodus 17:15, after the Israelites' victory over the Amalekites. Moses built an altar and called it Jehovah-Nissi, as recorded in the BSB: "And Moses built an altar and named it The LORD Is My Banner." This name signifies God's protection and leadership in battle, symbolizing His presence and guidance in the lives of His people.

Jehovah-Shalom (The Lord Is Peace):
In Judges 6:24, Gideon builds an altar to the Lord and calls it Jehovah-Shalom. The BSB states, "So Gideon built an altar to the LORD there and called it The LORD Is Peace." This name reflects God's ability to bring peace and wholeness, even in the midst of turmoil and conflict.

Jehovah-Raah (The Lord Is My Shepherd):
While not directly stated as "Jehovah-Raah," this concept is beautifully illustrated in Psalm 23:1, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." This name portrays God as a caring and guiding shepherd, providing for and protecting His flock.

Jehovah-Tsidkenu (The Lord Our Righteousness):
This name is found in Jeremiah 23:6, where it is prophesied about the coming Messiah: "In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is His name by which He will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness." This name underscores God's provision of righteousness through the promised Savior.

Jehovah-Shammah (The Lord Is There):
Ezekiel 48:35 concludes with the declaration of the name Jehovah-Shammah: "And the name of the city from that time on will be: The LORD Is There." This name signifies God's abiding presence with His people, a promise of His eternal dwelling among them.

Theological Significance:
The compound names of Jehovah reveal the depth and richness of God's character and His covenant relationship with His people. Each name provides insight into His nature, His promises, and His actions throughout biblical history. These names are not merely titles but are expressions of God's eternal attributes and His ongoing work in the world. Through these names, believers gain a deeper understanding of who God is and how He interacts with His creation.
