Genesis 16:13-14 and Genesis 24:62 and Psalm 139:16
Hagar was found by an angel of the Lord at a well in Genesis 16.
The word well in the original Hebrew definition means to engrave, to make plain, letters on a tablet
She called the well Beerlahairoi. the original Hebrew gives a list of definitions: alive, green, flowing, recover, repair, restore, revive, be whole, community.
In Genesis 24:62 Isaac leaves the same well to see his new found wife coming towards him. God’s weaving together in their obedience.
Psalm 139:16
Your eyes saw my unformed substance, and in Your book all the days [of my life] were written before ever they took shape, when as yet there was none of them.
“You are the God who sees me,” Hagar says in Genesis 16:13. The heart of God pursuing her for her, not her situation.
Genesis 24:62-64 Now Isaac had returned from going to the well Beer-lahai-roi [A well to the Living One Who sees me], for he [now] dwelt in the South country (the Negeb).And Isaac went out to meditate and bow down [in prayer] in the open country in the evening; and he looked up and saw that, behold, the camels were coming.And Rebekah looked up, and when she saw Isaac, she dismounted from the camel.
The same God who found and saw Hagar at the well, weaved a love story at the same well with Isaac and Rebekah. The same finger of God who engraved(Hebrew definition for well) the Ten Commandments, drew a line in the sand in John 8 for a woman’s restoration.
Footnotes in Genesis 16
“The Cambridge Bible observes, There is a fascinating forecast of the coming Messiah, breaking through the dimness with amazing consistency, at intervals from Genesis to Malachi, Abraham, Moses, the slave girl Hagar, the impoverished farmer Gideon, even the humble parents of Samson, had seen and talked with Him centuries before the herald angels proclaimed his birth in Bethlehem.”
