Kejadian 16:14

16:14 That is why the well was called ¹  Beer Lahai Roi. ²  (It is located ³  between Kadesh and Bered.)

Kejadian 16:16

16:16 (Now ⁴  Abram was 86 years old ⁵  when Hagar gave birth to Ishmael.) ⁶ 

[16:14]  ¹ tn The verb does not have an expressed subject and so is rendered as passive in the translation.

[16:14]  ² sn The Hebrew name Beer Lahai Roi (בְּאֵר לַחַי רֹאִי, bÿ’er lakhay ro’i) means “The well of the Living One who sees me.” The text suggests that God takes up the cause of those who are oppressed.

[16:14]  ³ tn Heb “look.” The words “it is located” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.

[16:16]  ⁴ tn The disjunctive clause gives information that is parenthetical to the narrative.

[16:16]  ⁵ tn Heb “the son of eighty-six years.”

[16:16]  ⁶ tn The Hebrew text adds, “for Abram.” This has not been included in the translation for stylistic reasons; it is somewhat redundant given the three occurrences of Abram’s name in this and the previous verse.
