Jehovah Reha means 'Jehovah the Shepherd,' and Les Feldick says the Hebrew phrase behind Psalm 23:1 is Jehovah Rehah, 'I Am your Shepherd.'
In Psalm 23:1, the King James Bible reads, 'The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.' Les Feldick explains that the Hebrew behind that English statement is Jehovah-Rehah, meaning 'Jehovah the Shepherd' or 'I Am your Shepherd.' He lists it as one of seven distinct names of Jehovah that are intrinsic with God's dealing with the nation of Israel.
Psalm 23:1 — This is the verse Les Feldick uses to define Jehovah Reha: in Hebrew, 'The LORD is my shepherd' is Jehovah Rehah.
Psalm 23:1 (KJV) says, 'The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.' This verse makes a personal declaration that the LORD is the shepherd of His people. The biblical text does not use the name 'Jehovah Reha' in English; that name is the Hebrew form of the phrase as Les Feldick explains it.
Les Feldick teaches that the name Jehovah Reha comes from Psalm 23:1. He says that when we read 'The LORD is my shepherd,' the Hebrew is Jehovah-Rehah, which means 'Jehovah the Shepherd' (Clip 1) or 'I Am your Shepherd' (Clip 4). He explains that this is one of seven distinct names of Jehovah that are intrinsic with God's dealing with the nation of Israel. He also connects the name Jehovah to the person of the Godhead who is involved with the human race, the Redeemer, the Savior, and the One who communicates with men, and he notes that Jehovah is primarily the name of God as He deals with His covenant people.
Les points to the first verse of Psalm 23. In the King James Version it reads, 'The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.' Les says that in Hebrew this is Jehovah Rehah, which means 'I Am your Shepherd.' The name is drawn from this verse as the biblical source.
Les says there are seven distinct names of Jehovah that are intrinsic with God's dealing with the nation of Israel. He mentions Jehovah-Jireh, meaning 'God is the provider,' from Abraham's offering of Isaac, and then Jehovah-Rehah from Psalm 23:1, meaning 'Jehovah the Shepherd.' He also names Jehovah-Repha (the healer), Jehovah-Nissi, Jehovah Shalom, and Jehovah Sidkenu as he works through the list of seven.
No. Les treats these as two separate names of Jehovah. He teaches that Jehovah Rapha (also transcribed as Jehovah-Repha) is the healer, connected to God's promise to keep Israel from the diseases of Egypt. Jehovah Reha is the Shepherd, from Psalm 23:1. Both are among the seven names Les mentions, but they answer different needs.
Les explains that the English word LORD (with capital letters) is the word later introduced to us as Jehovah. He says the name Jehovah is that person of the Godhead who is always involved with the human race, who is to be the communicator, the Redeemer, the Savior of mankind, and the One who fellowships with Adam and appears to Abraham, Moses, and others throughout the Old Testament. He also says the name Jehovah is primarily the name of God as He deals with His covenant people.
Jehovah Rapha and Jehovah Nissi Explained
Les distinguishes Jehovah Rapha as the healer and Jehovah Nissi as Israel's banner in battle, showing that the Jehovah names address different needs.
Jehovah-Rehah Defined from Psalm 23
Les says Psalm 23:1, 'The LORD is my shepherd,' is in Hebrew Jehovah-Rehah, meaning 'Jehovah the Shepherd,' and calls it one of seven distinct Jehovah names.
The 7 "I AM" Names of God — Old Testament to John's Gospel
The Hebrew would read it Jehovah Raph, if I'm not mistaken, and it's the LORD is my shepherd. I don't believe I'm going to make it. Here again Jeremiah is looking forward to the Kingdom, and in verse 6 he writes, In his days Judah shall be saved, Israel shall dwell safely, and this is his name, whereby he shall be called the LORD our righteousness. In Hebrew it would be Jehovah Sidkenu.
The 7 "I AM" Names of God — Old Testament to John's Gospel
When Abraham realized that the Sovereign God provided the sacrifice in verse 14 of Genesis 22, Abraham called the name of that place, Jehovah Jireh. As it is said to this day, in the mount of the LORD it shall be seen. Jehovah Jireh meant, I am your provider. Remember Jehovah contracted is the I Am. I Am your provider, that's what Jireh means in the Hebrew.
Jehovah Rehah Means 'I Am Your Shepherd'
Les explains that in Psalm 23:1 the word 'Lord' is Jehovah, so the Hebrew is Jehovah Rehah, which means 'I Am your Shepherd.'
Jehovah-Repha the Healer
Les describes Jehovah-Repha as the healer or protector from disease, showing it is a separate Jehovah name from the Shepherd.
Psalm 23:1 as the Source
Les again uses Psalm 23:1, where we read 'The LORD is my shepherd,' as one of the seven names in his list.
Jehovah as God's Name with Humanity
Les teaches that LORD is the word later introduced as Jehovah, and that Jehovah is the person of the Godhead involved with humans as Redeemer and Savior.
Psalm 23:1: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
This is the verse Les uses to identify the Hebrew name Jehovah Reha.
Yes. Les says in Psalm 23:1 the word Lord is Jehovah, so the Hebrew is Jehovah Rehah, which means 'I Am your Shepherd.'
The name comes from Psalm 23:1, where the King James Version reads, 'The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.' Les points to this verse as the source of the name.
Yes. Les says there are seven distinct names of Jehovah intrinsic with God's dealing with Israel, and he includes Jehovah-Rehah from Psalm 23:1 among them.
Les identifies Jehovah Rapha as the healer, connected to God's promise to keep Israel from the diseases of Egypt. Jehovah Reha is the Shepherd from Psalm 23:1. They are separate names.
