With changes of the punctuation, other render- ings become possible, though the general sense rciiiaina the same: as 'In (he mountain (in;) J" a[ipcareth ' § (cf. LXX, iv rip Pp« Ki/mos uipffri') ; ' In the mountain J" seeth or will see {^V): '' ic; : so Pesh. and Vulg. , as.similating the verb to that in clause a). The two clauses might also l)e a.ssiniil- •ted by vocalizing the second element of the

JEHOYAH-NISSI C^j .ti.t 'J-U my banner').— The name given by Moses to the altar he erected after the defeat of Amalek, Ex 17" (E). The LXX (Ki'pioi KaTiKpiryTf fxov) inipUcs a derivation of the name from the root dij ' flee,' the Vtilg. {Dominus exnltatio mea) from tty; 'lift up.' Onkelos paraphrases, 'he prayed before God who had done miracles (['c-j) before him'; I^shi, 'God has done us here a miracle' (oj). There can be little doubt, however, that nj here = ' banner,' God being con- sidered the centre or rallying-point of the army of Israel, and the name of God as their battle-cry (cf. Ps 20"-). The interpretation of v.'« (rj-bj; n.— 3 a;) is somewhat doubtful. Many critics read cj for C3 ( = Kij ' throne '), but this appears neither to bo neces.sary nor to yield a suitable sense. The meaning is probably either '.J" hath swurn ' (EV), or 'I (Moses) swear' (with hand uplifted to J"8 throne). See Dillmann and Kalisch, nd lor.

JEHOVAH - SHALOM (c'lS? .ti.t ; LXX e;pii«, Kiipioii and Vulg. Domini pax imply Heb. reading .ti.T t\Vi-). — The name given by Gideon to the altar he erected in Oplirah, Jg 6^. The name means 'J" is peace' (i.e. well-disposed), in allusion to J"8 worils m v.^* ' Peace be unto thee.' There appears to be no necessity to take the second noun as "enitive '(altar of) .1" of peace,' as in wkjs ni.r. Kalher is the name ' Jebovah-shalom ' to be compared with such names as ' Jehovah-jireh,' ' Jehovah -nissi,' ' Jehovali-shammah,' in all of which J" is the subject. See Moore, Judtfe-s, ad he.

JEHOYAH-SHAMMAH {^,7 in- 'J" is there"; Ki'</)io! ^Kit). — The name to be given to the restored and gloriUed .Jerusalem, Ezk 48» (cf. Is GO'*"^ m\ Kev 21-'). ' The prophet beheld the Lono forsake His temple (ch. 11), and he beheld Him again enter it (ch. 43); now He abides in it anion" His people for ever. The covenant ran that lie should be their God and they His people ; this is perfectly fulHUed in His presence among them. The end in view from the beginning li.as been reached ' (Da^-idson). J. A. Sklbie.

JEHOVAH -TSIDKENU (upix .ni.r 'J' is our righteousness,' or 'J" our ri^hteousnes-s,' Jer 23* 3;{i>i). — In both pa.s.sages (which are in fact the same inophec}' repeated, the latter being not found in LX.V, and" perhaps the in.-icrtion of a reviser) it is the title of^the Uranch, the perfectly Uightcous King, who is to rule over the peojile on their return from the Captivity. If Jer 33"-'" is genuine, 33" implies that the prophet has in his mind not one single king, but a succession of kinp, who wouhl fullil the theocratic idea. If the lirst tr. of the words given above is right, this will mean that under the rule of the Branch men will fully realize the righteousness of J"; if the second, the title of J" must be understood as applic«l to the king as f;fHrs vii'ogereiit ufKin earth (cf. Is 9*). To suppose that either pas.snge delinitely predicts the GihI Iiicarniite is to credit the prophet-s with the kind of foresight which our knowleilge of their writings otherwise does not justify (cL Driver, Srrmnns o» or, 204 tr.).

JEHOZABAD (';;'i; 'J" hath l>c3towed,' cf. n.-pi and '■K"!;.!). — 1. One of the servants of king .loash who conspired against his iiia.ster and joineil in his ass;i.ssination, 2 K 12" = 2 Ch 24^. 2. A Heiijamite chief, one of .lehoshaphat's ' men of war,' 2 Ch 17" 3. The ejionym of a L«vitic&l family, 1 Ch 26' See GENEAtx>OY.
