Answ. Jehovah simply in it self is not attributed to this Altar. But a compound word, Jehovah-Nissi, Jehovah my banner. He might to like purpose have alleged the title which Abraham gave to the place where he was about to sacrifice Isaac, which is this, Jehovah-jireh, Jehovah will 1provide. And that title which Gideon gave to the Altar which he made to God, and called Jehovah shalem, Jehovah 2peace, that is, Jehovah is a God of peace: or, Jehovah will give, or, hath given peace. But, all these, and other like to these, are to no purpose for the point in question, there being a great difference betwixt a simple and compound name. Besides, these titles had not so much respect to the altars and place whereunto they were attributed, as to Jehovah himself: as the very phrases do imply. They were only memorials of Jehovahs protection, and providence, and ⟨p. 319⟩peace. Who can imagine otherwise, but that these phrases, Jehovah is my banner, Jehovah will provide, Jehovah is peace, have respect to Jehovah himself.
