1. Genesis 16:7–14

   Now the angel of the LORD found Hagar by a spring of water in the desert—the spring along the road to Shur.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 16:7–142 voices

   “(Verse 7) And the angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the desert, by the fountain on the way to Shur. Then the Egyptian woman hurriedly went on the way to Shur, which leads through the desert to Egypt.

2. Genesis 24:62

   Now Isaac had just returned from Beer-lahai-roi, for he was living in the Negev.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 24:622 voices

   “And Isaac came from the way of the well Lahairoi,.... The well at which the angel met with Hagar, when she fled from her mistress, Gen 16:7. The Targums of Jonathan and Jerusalem say, that Isaac came from the school of Shem the great: for he dwelt in the south country: at Beersheba, to which Abraham, it seems, was returned again; for that they dwelt together as yet, is clear from his mother Sarah's tent, into which he introduced Rebekah, Gen 24:67; see Gen 22:19.

   “And Isaac came - Concerning this well see Gen 16:13, Gen 16:14, etc. As it appears from Gen 25:11, that Isaac dwelt at the well Lahai-roi, it has been conjectured that he had now come on a visit to his aged father at Beersheba, where he waited in expectation of his bride. For he dwelt in the south country - The southern part of the land of Canaan. See Gen 12:9.

3. Genesis 25:11

   After Abraham’s death, God blessed his son Isaac, who lived near Beer-lahai-roi.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 25:112 voices

   “And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac,.... Yet more and more, both with spiritual and temporal blessings; showing hereby, that, though Abraham was dead, he was not unmindful of his covenant, which should be established with Isaac, Gen 17:19, and Isaac dwelt by the well Lahairoi; which was near the wilderness of Beersheba and Paran, where Ishmael dwelt; so that they were not far from one another, see Gen 16:14.

   "The Lord blessed Isaac," the text says, "and he dwelt at the well of vision." This is the whole blessing with which the Lord blessed Isaac: that he might dwell "at the well of vision." That is a great blessing for those who understand it. Would that the Lord might give this blessing to me too, that I might deserve to dwell "at the well of vision."What kind of person can know and understand what the vision is "which Isaiah the son of Amos saw"? What kind of person can know what Nahum's vision is?
