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 ( Genesis 16:14 ), where Isaac met his bride ( Genesis 24:62 ), and where he dwelt after Abraham’s death ( Genesis 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.
