Hello All

Regarding Gen. 22:14 and the translation of the place name 'The Lord will provide' This has always been a problematic verse. I am wondering, is it possible that the words yhwh yr'h can be interpreted along the lines of 'fear Yahweh' or 'Be afraid of Yahweh'

As I am a Hebrew novice I apologize in advance if my question is stupid, but the link with the verb yr'h (to be afraid) and the context of the story seem to merit some link.

Best regards

Noel O'Riordan.
