Jehovah-Nissi [1]
jē̇ - hō´va nis´ı̄ ( יהוה נסּי , yahweh niṣṣı̄ , "Yahweh is my banner"): So Moses named the altar which he reared to signalize the defeat of the Amalekites by Israel under Joshua, at Rephidim ( Exodus 17:15 ). Septuagint translates "the Lord my refuge," deriving niṣṣı̄ from נוּס , nūṣ , "to flee." Targum Onkelos reads, "Moses built an altar and worshipped on it before Yahweh, who had wrought for him miracles" ( ניסּין , nı̄ṣṣı̄n ). The suggestion is that the people should rally round God as an army gathers round its standard. He it is who leads them to victory.
