Usage: This proper noun is used as a name for an altar built by Moses in the Old Testament, signifying God's protection and leadership in battle.

Context: Jehovah-Nissi is a compound name of God found in the Old Testament, specifically in Exodus 17:15. After the Israelites' victory over the Amalekites at Rephidim, Moses built an altar and named it Jehovah-Nissi, which translates to "The LORD is my Banner." This name commemorates the divine assistance and victory granted by God during the battle. The term "banner" in this context symbolizes a rallying point or a standard under which the people of God unite and find strength. The narrative highlights the importance of God's presence and guidance in the struggles faced by His people. The altar serves as a memorial of God's faithfulness and a reminder of the spiritual warfare that requires reliance on divine power.

In the broader biblical context, Jehovah-Nissi emphasizes the theme of God as a protector and leader, guiding His people through challenges and ensuring their triumph over adversaries. This name reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God acts as a sovereign leader and protector, and His people are called to trust and follow Him.
