Jehovah Jireh means 'the Lord provides' — the name Abraham gave to the place where God supplied the ram in place of Isaac.
Les Feldick teaches that Jehovah Jireh means 'the Lord who provides' or 'Jehovah the provider' (Clip 2), and he paraphrases it as 'I Am your Provider' (Clip 6). Abraham used the name after God stopped him from sacrificing Isaac and provided the ram caught in the thicket (Genesis 22:13-14). The name is one of the seven 'I AM' names of Jehovah in the Old Testament (Clips 3, 6, 7).
Genesis 22:14 — Abraham names the place 'Jehovahjireh' after God provides the ram — this is the exact verse behind the question.
The name Jehovah Jireh appears in Genesis 22, the account of Abraham's great test. God commanded Abraham to take Isaac, his only son, and offer him for a burnt offering (Genesis 22:1-2). Abraham built the altar, bound Isaac, and took the knife to slay his son. But the angel of the LORD called out of heaven, 'Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me' (Genesis 22:12). Lifting up his eyes, Abraham saw 'a ram caught in a thicket by his horns' and offered it up for a burnt offering 'in the stead of his son' (Genesis 22:13). Then Abraham called the name of that place 'Jehovahjireh,' and it became a saying: 'In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen' (Genesis 22:14).
Les Feldick explains that Jehovah Jireh was 'the God who provided the sacrifice when He spared Isaac' (Clip 1). When Abraham was about to offer Isaac, God providentially provided the ram caught in the thicket, so Abraham 'calls this Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides, or Jehovah the provider' (Clip 2). Les paraphrases the name as 'I Am your Provider' (Clip 6) and as 'God is the provider' (Clip 3).
The name comes from Genesis 22, the story of Abraham's willingness to offer Isaac. In the narrative, God stopped Abraham and provided a ram caught in the thicket, and Abraham offered it as a burnt offering in Isaac's place (Genesis 22:13). Abraham then 'called the name of that place Jehovahjireh' (Genesis 22:14). Les Feldick emphasizes that Jehovah provided the sacrifice and spared Isaac, which is why Abraham gave Him this name (Clips 1-2).
Les says there are seven distinct 'I Am's in the Old Testament with regard to God and the nation of Israel (Clip 6) — also described as 'seven distinct names of Jehovah that are intrinsic with God's dealing with the nation of Israel' (Clip 3) and as 'seven distinct needs of Israel, all fulfilled by a seven-fold operation of Jehovah' (Clip 7). He names Jehovah Jireh (the provider), Jehovah-Rapha, and Jehovah-Rehah ('The LORD is my shepherd'), but he does not list all seven in these clips (Clips 3, 6, 7).
Les draws a direct parallel between the Old Testament names and the New Testament sayings of Jesus: just as there are seven 'I AM' names of Jehovah in the Old Testament, there are 'seven instances of Jesus using the I AM' in the Gospel of John (Clip 7). Since Jehovah Jireh means 'I AM your Provider,' the same formula appears when Jesus says 'I AM the way, the truth, and the life' and 'I AM the bread of life' (Clips 6-7).

were His fellow disciples. Where was Peter's love? Fish! That was his occupation. He loved that Sea of Galilee, he loved his occupation, and the Lord knew that. In fact when Peter back in Matthew 19 was with fishing like I am with ranching. I know the Lord has a lot of things for me to do, and maybe I shouldn't even feel that I can keep my first love, but I do.
The God Who Provided the Sacrifice
Les explains that Jehovah Jireh was 'the God who provided the sacrifice when He spared Isaac' — Abraham called the place by this name because Jehovah provided the ram in the thicket.
The Lord Who Provides
Les gives the direct meaning of the name — 'the Lord who provides, or Jehovah the provider' — and shows how God providentially provided the ram caught in the thicket.
One of Seven Names of Jehovah
Les says Jehovah Jireh means 'God is the provider' and identifies it as one of seven names of Jehovah intrinsic with God's dealing with Israel.
A Name Depicting a Particular Need
Les shows that the names of deity are used 'in accordance with a particular situation,' and that Jehovah Jireh is an intrinsic name of God depicting the need for provision.
Jehovah: The God of Israel
Les explains that Jehovah is the person of the Godhead 'particularly dealing with the nation of Israel' and is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
I Am Your Provider
Les paraphrases Jehovah Jireh as 'I Am your Provider' and calls it the first of the seven 'I AM' names of Jehovah in the Old Testament.
The Seven I AM's and Jesus
Les connects the seven 'I AM' names of Jehovah to the seven 'I AM' statements of Jesus in John's Gospel, such as 'I AM the way, the truth, and the life.'
Genesis 22:14: And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen.
Abraham's naming of the place after God provided the ram — the direct source of the name Jehovah Jireh.
Genesis 22:13: And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
The ram God provided in Isaac's place — the provision that motivated Abraham's naming.
Genesis 22:8: And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
Abraham's earlier confession that God would provide the lamb, fulfilled in the ram of verse 13.
Psalm 23:1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Les connects this verse to the name Jehovah-Rehah, another of the seven names of Jehovah.
John 14:6: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Les cites this as one of Jesus' seven 'I AM' statements that echo the Old Testament names of Jehovah.
John 6:35: And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Another 'I AM' statement Les mentions as part of the same seven-fold pattern.
Les Feldick teaches that Jehovah Jireh means 'the Lord who provides' or 'Jehovah the provider' (Clip 2), and he paraphrases it as 'I Am your Provider' (Clip 6). Abraham gave this name to the place where God provided the ram in the thicket, sparing Isaac (Clips 1-2).
The name appears in Genesis 22:14, where Abraham 'called the name of that place Jehovahjireh,' and it became a saying: 'In the mount of the LORD it shall be seen' (Clip 1; Genesis 22:14).
Because Jehovah provided the sacrifice. Abraham was about to offer Isaac when God stopped him, and the ram caught in the thicket became the burnt offering in Isaac's place. Abraham recognized that Jehovah had supplied what was needed, so he named the place Jehovah Jireh (Clips 1-2; Genesis 22:13-14).
Yes. Les Feldick says Jehovah Jireh is the first of seven distinct 'I AM' names of Jehovah in the Old Testament — seven distinct needs of Israel fulfilled by a seven-fold operation of Jehovah (Clips 3, 6, 7).
