Genesis 16:14

14 That is why the well was called ^{▼▼ The verb does not have an expressed subject and so is rendered as passive in the translation.} Beer Lahai Roi. ^{▼▼ The Hebrew name Beer Lahai Roi (בְּאֵר לַחַי רֹאִי, b^e’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.} (It is located ^{▼▼ Heb “look.” The words “it is located” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons.} between Kadesh and Bered.)
