What does the Bible say about the name Jehovah Shammah?

Answered in 1 source

Jehovah Shammah means 'The Lord is there' and signifies God's omnipresence and His intimate relationship with His people.

In Ezekiel 48:35, the name of the city is declared to be Jehovah Shammah, which translates to 'The Lord is there.' This name emphasizes God's omnipresence, signifying that He is not only present everywhere, but particularly present in a special and relational way with His people. It indicates that for believers, God's presence is a source of comfort, guidance, and peace. This is not merely a statement of God’s existence in every place, but a profound assertion that He is involved in the lives of His own, providing grace, mercy, and protection.
