Sounds fun, but what does it mean?

From the article:

“In Hebrew, Ebenezer means “stone of help” (eben = stone; ezer = help). Samuel wanted the people to remember, not just for a few days, but for years, for decades, for generations, how God had come to the rescue of his people when they humbled themselves before him.”

Stone of help? Is this where Joseph got the idea for the rocking his hat?

Was he looking at his Ebenezer when he translated the book of Mormon?

I had a friend that used to call me Ebeneezer. What’s up Ebeneezer?

I could’ve sworn it was a nickname for Satan.

I’m getting the idea that the Ebeneezer is to mark the miracle of God giving blessings even to the undeserving as long as they’re humble. Humble rock.

He was thinking with his Ebanezar when he started plural marriage.

Means you call on God to give you the win or at least give you strength as you claim you have humbled yourself. Works best if you smoke some weed first.

Maybe BYU Football needs a different rock.

The church seems to raise a lot of Ebenezer (Scrooges). Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?

In my birth family, my great grandfather was named Ebenezer.
