Genesis 16:14

12 ^aHe shall be a wild man;
His hand shall be against every man,
And every man’s hand against him.
^bAnd he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.”

13 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, You-Are-¹the-God-Who-Sees; for she said, “Have I also here² seen Him ^awho sees me?”

14 Therefore the well was called ^aBeer Lahai Roi; observe, it is ^bbetween Kadesh and Bered.

15 So ^aHagar bore Abram a son; and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Genesis 16:13

Genesis 16:15 >>

The well was called Beer - lahai - roi - The well of him that lives and sees me. 'Tis likely Hagar put this name upon it, and it was retained long after. This was the place where the God of glory manifested the special care he took of a poor woman in distress. Those that are graciously admitted into communion with God, and receive seasonable comforts from him, should tell others what he has done for their souls, that they also may be encouraged to seek him and trust in him.
