Tim Maas
Jehovah-shammah (meaning "the LORD who is present") is one of several such names given in the Bible that are added to the name by which God revealed Himself to Moses in Exodus 3:14. (A listing of those names, as well as their meanings and Scriptural references, can be found at http://www.prayertoday.org/NamesofGod/Jehovah-names.htm) The Scripture verse from which the name Jehovah-shammah is derived is Hebrews 13:5, in which the writer of the epistle says, "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'", which, in turn, was quoting Deuteronomy 31:6, in which Moses told the Israelites to be strong and courageous in fighting against the idolatrous nations that occupied the Promised Land, and assured them that God would never leave them nor forsake them.
