However, the concept of God seeing and providing is echoed in Greek terms related to divine providence and vision, such as πρόνοια (pronoia, meaning "providence").<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Beer Lachay Roi is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a well in the Negev desert. The name signifies a location where God is perceived as a living presence who sees and cares for individuals. It is a testament to God's providence and watchfulness.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Beer Lachay Roi is first mentioned in the context of Hagar, the Egyptian maidservant of Sarai (Sarah), who fled from her mistress due to harsh treatment. In her distress, Hagar encountered the Angel of the Lord at this well, who comforted her and promised that her descendants would be numerous. The well became a symbol of divine encounter and reassurance. It is located between Kadesh and Bered in the southern region of Canaan, an area known for its arid conditions, making wells vital for survival.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/875.htm">beer</a>, <a href="/hebrew/2416.htm">chay</a> and <a href="/hebrew/7203.htm">roeh</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"well of the living One that sees me," a place in the desert<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Beer-lahai-roi (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">בְּאֵר לַחַי רֹאִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (literally <em>well</em> of the <em>living One that seeth me</em>) <font size="+1">**</font><font class="hebrew2">לַחַי</font> perhaps originally I. <font class="hebrew2">לְחִי</font> <em>jaw(-bone)</em>;
