Beer-lahai-roi
(Heb. Beer’ Lachay’ Roi’, , signifying, according to the explanation in the text where it first occurs, well of [to] life of vision [or, of the living and seeing God], i.e. survivorship after beholding the theophany; but, according to the natural derivation, well of the cheek-bone [rock] of vision; Sept. in Gen 16:14, v; in Gen 24:62, ; Vulg. puteus viventis et videntis me), a well, or rather a living spring (A. V. fountain, comp. Gen 24:7), between Kadesh and Bered, in the wilderness, in the way to Shur, and therefore in the south country (Gen 24:62.), which seems to have been so named by Hagar because God saw her () there (Gen 16:14). From the fact of this etymology not being in agreement with the formation of the name (more legitimately, ), it has been suggested (Gesenius, Thes. p. 175) that the origin of the name is LEHI SEE LEHI (q.v.) (Jdg 15:9; Jdg 15:19), the scene of Samson’s adventure, which was not far from this neighborhood. By this well Isaac dwelt both before and after the death of his father (Gen 24:62; Gen 25:11). In both these passages the name is given in the A. V. as the well Lahai-roi. Mr. Rowland announces the discovery of the well Lahai-roi at Moyle or Moilahi, a station on the road to Beersheba, ten hours south of Ruheibeh, near which is a hole or cavern bearing the name of Beit Hagar (Williams, Holy City, 1, 465); but this requires confirmation. This well is possibly the same with th at by which the life of Ishmael was preserved on a subsequent occasion (Gen 21:19), but which, according to the Moslems, is the well Zem-zem at Mecca.

Beer-lahai-roi
i.e., “the well of him that liveth and See th 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.

Beer-Lahai-Roi
BEER-LAHAI-ROI (The well of the Living One that seeth me).A well between Kadesh and Bered, where the fleeing Hagar was turned back (Gen 16:14), where Isaac met his bride (Gen 24:62), and where he dwelt after Abrahams death (Gen 25:11). Ain Muweileh, about 50 miles S.W of Beersheba, has been suggested as a not impossible identification. It is a station where there are several wells, on the caravan route from Syria to Egypt.

Beer-Lahai-Roi
be-er-la-hroi, be-er-la-h-roi ( , be’er lahai ro’, 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; Gen 24:62; Gen 25:11). The site is in The Negeb between Kadesh and Bered (Gen 16:14). Rowland identifies the well with the modern Ain Moilahhi, 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 (micrayim), but a north Arabian district called by the Assyrians Musri (Encyclopedia Biblica).
