Jehovah Sidcanu means 'The LORD our Righteousness.'
Les Feldick teaches that the Hebrew name Jehovah Sidcanu is translated 'the Lord is our Righteousness' or 'Jehovah, our righteousness.' He connects it directly to Jeremiah 23:6, where this is the name of the coming King in whose days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely.
Jeremiah 23:6 — This is the verse where the Bible reveals the name 'THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS,' which Les identifies as the Hebrew name Jehovah Sidcanu.
In Jeremiah 23:6, the Bible records the name that the coming King will bear: "In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS." The verse is part of Jeremiah's prophecy about the future of Israel and the King who will reign in righteousness. The name itself is a direct declaration that the LORD is the righteousness of His people.
Les Feldick explains that in Hebrew this name is Jehovah Sidcanu, spelled T-S-I-D-K-E-N-U, and it simply means "the Lord is our Righteousness." He also pronounces it as Jehovah Sidkenu and notes that it is translated "Jehovah, our righteousness." He places the name in Jeremiah 23:6 and says Jeremiah is looking forward to the Kingdom, specifically to the days when Christ will be ruling from Jerusalem. In the verse, Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell safely, and this is the name of the King.
Les says: "In the Hebrew, this is Jehovah Sidcanu, and that's spelled T-S-I-D-K-E-N-U. And it just simply translated means, the Lord is our Righteousness." In other clips he says "Jehovah Sidkenu" and "Jehovah Sid Canu," all meaning "Jehovah, our righteousness."
Les reads this name from Jeremiah 23:6: "In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely, and this is his name whereby he shall be called the LORD our righteousness." He says "in his days" refers to the days when Christ will be ruling from Jerusalem, and that Jeremiah is looking forward to the Kingdom.
Les teaches there are seven distinct names of Jehovah that are intrinsic with God's dealing with the nation of Israel. He lists Jehovah-Jireh (the provider), Jehovah-Nissi (the banner), Jehovah-Shalom (peace), Jehovah-Rehah (the shepherd), Jehovah-Sidcanu (righteousness), and Jehovah-Shammah (I am there). He concludes that all these names of Jehovah are wrapped up in that one name Jehovah—"He is everything to the nation of Israel."
