(bee' uhr-luh hawee' ruhee) Place name meaning, “well of the Living One who sees me.” Interpretation of the name and location of the place are difficult. After Sarai had Abraham put Hagar out of the house, an angel appeared to her announcing the birth of a son. Hagar interpreted this as a vision of the living God and named the well where she was, Beer-lahairoi (Genesis 16:14 ). Isaac passed there as he went to meet and wed Rebekah (Genesis 24:62 ). Isaac lived there after his father Abraham died (Genesis 25:11 ).
