Greetings Terry! Here's some commentary on the well of Beer-lahai-roi.. "16:14 Beer-lahai-roi means "a well of the Living One who sees me." The exact location is unknown, though possibly it was SW of Beersheba." (1) In the notes from Genesis 16:14, 14:7 and 12:9, the Zondervan NASB Study Bible states "..Kadesh. Located in the southwest Negev..", "Negev. The dry wasteland stretching southward from Beer-sheba. The same Hebrew word is translated "southward" in 13:14." (2) "BEER-LAHAI-ROI Wells of him living, and seeing me, on the southwest border of Canaan, where Hagar was visited by an angel, Ge 16:14" (3) "BEER-LAHAI-ROI i.e., "the well of him that liveth and seeth me," or, as some render it, "the well of the vision of life", the well where the Lord met with Hagar (Gen. 16:7-14). Isaac dwelt beside this well (24:62; 25:11). It has been identified with 'Ain Muweileh, or Moilahhi, south-west of Beersheba, and about 12 miles W. from Kadesh-barnea." (4) "BEER-LAHAI-ROI be-er-la-hi'-roi, be-er-la-hi-ro'-i (be'er lachai ro'i, "well of the Living One that seeth me"): "A fountain of water in the wilderness," "the fountain in the way to Shur" (Gen 16:7-14). It was the scene of Hagar's theophany, and here Isaac dwelt for some time (Gen 16:7 f; 24:62; 25:11). The site is in The Negeb between Kadesh and Bered (Gen 16:14). Rowland identifies the well with the modern Ain Moilaihhi, circa 50 miles South of Beersheba and 12 miles West of Ain Kadis. Cheyne thinks that Hagar's native country, to which she was fleeing and from which she took a wife for Ishmael, was not Egypt (mitsrayim), but a north Arabian district called by the Assyrians Mucri (Encyclopedia Biblica).

Hunter" (5) Blessings to you, Makarios (1) Ryrie Study Bible Expanded Edition, 1995, The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, Charles Caldwell Ryrie, Th.D., Ph.D. (2) The Zondervan NASB Study Bible, 1999, the Zondervan Corporation, Kenneth Barker, General Editor (3) American Tract Society Bible Dictionary (4) Easton's Bible Dictionary (5) International Standard Bible Encyclopedia |
