In Exodus 17:15 "And Moses built an altar, and called the name of it Jehovahnissi:" because they had been in a battle with the Amalek and the people had some trouble in the battle. Just as Moses needed help from Aaron and Hur the people also needed help and aid which the altar of Jehovahnissi would provide to help them remember.

Jehovahnissi

The term "Jehovah-nissi" is found in Exodus 17 as a name given to an altar Moses constructed after a battle with Amalek.

As an altar the term may have its origins in these same ancient altars and temples found in many other city-states like that found in Sumer that functioned like the systems of Nimrod through forms of legal charity which can be identified as covetous practices because the members develop an appetite for the dainties and benefits of rulers at the expense of others and therefore those practices can be labeled as idolatry.

The altars of Abraham and Moses were alternative systems of a social safety net or social welfare system which did not unduly mix the "milk and meat" nor exercise authority of one over the other. But unlike other nations all their offerings had to be freewill offerings according to the LORD, Jehovah.

The term "nissi" applied to the name Jehovah is spelled in the Hebrew as נִסִּי‎ NunSamechYod and could reasonably have its origins in the ancient terms like nissi which can identify a place of "sanctuary" or an "exalted place" or the term "Nassi" which identifies a sacred place or temple area. The Assyrian nisi in general means "men" or "people" and Nassi was the Goddess who provided them with justice and welfare.

So the term nissi in the phrase "Jehovah-nissi" can be a related symbol to or the replacement of the Goddess of welfare and justice in the city-states like Sumer which provided a civil system of social welfare through the Goddess Nanshe which was also spelled Nanse, Nassi, Nazi and who was known as the "protector of the disadvantaged" through her many temples.

It is absolutely clear from the record of history that systems of governments from Cain to Nimrod and from Sumer to Egypt that systems of social welfare were established through civil law to provide for the needy and bind the people together by some form of social compact. In fact, the bondage of Egypt, which was a form of corvee, was the direct result of such a contract where a portion of the the citizens labor would belong to the government.

Both Abraham and Moses was setting up an alternative social safety net consisting of altars of clay and stone where the stones were not hewn but living men called out to perform these essential work that created the social bonds of a free society if they were accomplished through fervent charity and the perfect law of liberty.

Jesus would eventually call out His little flock along with appointing His own Sanhedrin and finally appointing a kingdom to them because the priests of Judea were making the word of God to none effect by the institutions they created.

The Called out of Christ would institute the Corban of Christ with these Lively Stones of a Living Altar with a daily ministration of Pure Religion to provide all social welfare for early Christians who would not eat at the tables of the welfare system operated through the temples of Rome because from David to Paul they were warned that those dainties were a snare and a trap. They knew that the free bread of those systems of the word were provided by men who called themselves benefactors but exercise authority one over the other.

The altar of Jehovahnissi was to be a protector and his priests and ministers were to provide care through a daily ministration of pure Religion funded by the freewill contributions of the people. This social safety net established by Moses provided a daily bread but through charity. While His ministers were also benefactors they did not exercise authority one over the other but love for one another according to the [Divine will] of God from the beginning.
