Exegesis
The formula vezeh shemo {וְזֶה־שְּׁמ֥וֹ | wə-zeh šə-mō} ‘and this is his name’ introduces the relative clause asher yiqreu {אֲֽשֶׁר־יִקְרְא֖וֹ | ʾa-šer yiq-rə-ʾū} ‘which they will call,’ culminating in the compound title YHWH tsidqenu {יְהוָ֥ה צִדְקֵֽנוּ | Yə-hō-wāh ṣid-qē-nū}, a messianic epithet signifying covenantal righteousness and deliverance.
In context — Jeremiah 23:6
In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is his name by which He will be called: the LORD our righteousness .
