428

Strong’s 3051, yahab. To provide, yield, pay. The Aramaic yahab (#3052) is used in the context of paying numerous times. The derivative noun yehab (#3053) is used for lot, burden, or something given (Ps. 55:22). It occurs 33 times whereas nathan, to give, occurs over 2000 times in the Hebrew Scriptures. The name Yahweh Yireh, otherwise known as “the Master provides” is actually Yahweh is seeing (Gen. 22:14).
