Yahweh looked at him, and said, Go in this your might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian: have not I sent you?
When he had built his altar he called it “﻿Jehovah-shalom,﻿” which was done by way of thanksgiving for peace received. The inscription declares that “﻿Jehovah is our peace.﻿” Blessed be his name this day. We have entered on the battles of peace, for the Lord God is with us, and with his people we will go forth to win the peace which he has promised. It was a psalm in two words; it was a song of one verse, infinitely sweet. “﻿Jehovah-shalom﻿”: the Lord our peace.
