Jehovah Nissi: The LORD My Banner (Exodus 17)
“And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi.” — Exodus 17:15, KJV

Frequently asked
What translation is the lesson?+
King James Version, exclusively. Every verse quoted is KJV. No paraphrase.
What does Jehovah Nissi mean?+
"Jehovah Nissi" means "The LORD my banner" — from Exodus 17:15. A banner was a rallying point in battle. God was Israel's banner: the reason they could stand and fight. This lesson teaches children that God is our banner — we fight under His name and His strength.
How do you handle the battle content for young children?+
The lesson focuses on Moses on the mountain, not the fighting. There is no blood, no violence — the story centers on lifted hands, holding each other up, and God giving the victory. Ages 5–12 handle this well.
