Beerlahairoi

2 sources
Smith's Bible Dictionary by William Smith (1863)

Be-er-laha’i-roi. (a well of the living). A living spring, Authorized Version, or fountain, compare Jer 6:7, between Kadesh and Bered, in the wilderness. Gen 24:62.

New and Concise Bible Dictionary by George Morrish (1899)

[Beer-laha’i-roi]

This signifies ’well of the living and seeing one.’ A well situated between Kadesh and Bered, "in the way to Shur," therefore in the south. It was here that Hagar, when she fled from Sarai, was met by the angel of the Lord: her exclamation on that occasion, "Thou God seest me," gave to the well its name. Gen 16:14. Isaac dwelt near the same ’well LAHAI-ROI.’ Gen 24:62; Gen 25:11.
