Genesis 16:14

Wherefore the well was called Beer la hai roi; between Kadesh and Bered.

a. NLT: So that well was named Beer-lahai-roi (which means “well of the Living One who sees me”). It can still be found between Kadesh and Bered.

b. NIV: That is why the well was called Beer Lahai Roi; it is still there, between Kadesh and Bered.

c. YLT: therefore hath one called the well, 'The well of the Living One, my beholder;' lo, between Kadesh and Bered.

d. Amplified Bible: Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi [A well to the Living One Who sees me]; it is between Kadesh and Bered.

e. Septuagint: herefore she called the well, The well of him whom I have openly seen; behold it is between Cades and Barad.

f. Stone Edition Chumash: Therefore the well is called “The Well of the Living One Appearing to Me. It is between Kadesh and Bered.
