Footnotes

  1. 33 Heb “the Lord sees” (יְהוָה יִרְאֶה, yéhvah yir’eh, traditionally transliterated “Jehovah Jireh”; see the note on the word “provide” in v. ). By so naming the place Abraham preserved in the memory of God’s people the amazing event that took place there.
  2. 34 On the expression to this day see B. Childs, “A Study of the Formula ‘Until this Day’,” 82 (1963): 279–92.
  3. 35 The saying connected with these events has some ambiguity, which was probably intended. The Niphal verb could be translated (1) “in the mountain of the Lord it will be seen/provided” or (2) “in the mountain the Lord will appear.” If the temple later stood here (see the note on “Moriah” in ), the latter interpretation might find support, for the people went to the temple to appear before the Lord, who “appeared” to them by providing for them his power and blessings. See S. R. Driver, Genesis, 219.
