Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for this specific Hebrew proper noun in the Strong's Greek lexicon. However, the concept of God's presence is echoed in various New Testament passages, such as in the Greek word ἐμμανουήλ (Emmanuel, Strong's Greek 1694), meaning "God with us," which reflects a similar theological theme of divine presence.

Usage: This proper noun is used as a symbolic name for the city of Jerusalem, indicating the presence of God within the city. It appears in the context of a prophetic vision.

Context: • Jehovah-Shammah is a name given to the city of Jerusalem in the prophetic vision of Ezekiel. It is found in Ezekiel 48:35, where the prophet describes the future restoration and glory of the city. The name signifies the abiding presence of God with His people, emphasizing the divine promise of restoration and the ultimate fulfillment of God's covenant with Israel. The vision of Ezekiel concludes with this name, underscoring the hope and assurance of God's eternal presence among His people. The phrase "The LORD is there" encapsulates the essence of the restored Jerusalem as a place where God's presence is permanently established, contrasting with the earlier departure of God's glory from the temple as described in Ezekiel 10. This name serves as a theological affirmation of God's faithfulness and the eschatological hope for a renewed relationship between God and His people.
