Genesis 16:14 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Beer-lahai-roi. — That is, Well of the living-seeing (of God), the well where God has been seen, and the beholder still lives. It became afterwards a favourite dwelling-place of Isaac (Genesis 25:11), and was probably, therefore, surrounded by pastures, but its site has not been identified. For Kadesh see Genesis 14:7. Bered is absolutely unknown.

Genesis 16:14

14 Wherefore the well was called Beerlahairoi;b behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.
