Genesis 16:14
“Wherefore the well was called Beer–lahai–roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.”
KJV
Read in Genesis 16Meaning
The well is called Beer-lahai-roi, and the narrator locates it between Kadesh and Bered.
Read carefully
Ancient place-name identifications can be uncertain, so the theological point should not depend on claiming more geographical precision than the text supports.
Reflection
Communities preserve important encounters through names and places, remembering moments when suffering was met by recognition and hope.
