Names, part-7
So she named Adonai who had spoken with her El Ro’i [God of seeing],
because she said, “Have I really seen the One who sees me
[and stayed alive]?” This is why the well has been called Be’er-Lachai-Ro’i
[well of the one who lives and sees]; it lies between Kadesh and Bered.”
B'resheet (Gen) 16:13-14 (CJB)
Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the Lord, who had spoken to her.
She said, “You are the God who sees me.” She also said,
“Have I truly seen the One who sees me?”
So that well was named Beer-lahai-roi
(which means “well of the Living One who sees me”).
It can still be found between Kadesh and Bered.”
Genesis 16:13-14 (NLT)
