From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Jehovah-jireh
     Jehovah will see; i.e., will provide, the name given by Abraham
     to the scene of his offering up the ram which was caught in the
     thicket on Mount Moriah. The expression used in Gen. 22:14, "in
     the mount of the Lord it shall be seen," has been regarded as
     equivalent to the saying, "Man's extremity is God's


     opportunity."
