Context

16:13 So Hagar named the Lord who spoke to her, “You are the God who sees me,” 1  for she said, “Here I have seen one who sees me!” 2  16:14 That is why the well was called 3  Beer Lahai Roi. 4  (It is located 5  between Kadesh and Bered.)

[16:13]  1 tn Heb “God of my seeing.” The pronominal suffix may be understood either as objective (“who sees me,” as in the translation) or subjective (“whom I see”).

[16:13]  2 tn Heb “after one who sees me.”

[16:14]  3 tn The verb does not have an expressed subject and so is rendered as passive in the translation.

[16:14]  4 sn The Hebrew name Beer Lahai Roi (בְּאֵר לַחַי רֹאִי, bÿer lakhay roi) means “The well of the Living One who sees me.” The text suggests that God takes up the cause of those who are oppressed.

[16:14]  5 tn Heb “look.” The words “it is located” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.
