Genesis 16:13-15
New Catholic Bible
13 Hagar gave a name to the Lord who had spoken to her, “You are the God of the Vision.”[a] Therefore, she said, “Here I remained alive after having received this vision.” 14 Because of this, the well is called Beer-lahai-roi. It is between Kedesh and Bered.
15 Hagar gave birth to Abram’s son. Abram named the son whom Hagar had borne Ishmael.
