Verse 13
13. Thou God seest me Translate, And she called the name of Jehovah, who spoke unto her, Thou art a God of sight, (that is, capable of being seen,) for she said, “Have I also hither seen after sight?” The words of Hagar here are emotional and broken, and, therefore, obscure. The meaning seems to be: “Jehovah is truly a God that may be seen, for I also have seen him, and yet here I am seeing still after having seen God!” She is astonished that she has had this vision of God and yet lives. Compare Genesis 32:30; Exodus 33:20; Judges 13:21. The common version follows the Sept . and Vulg . , and mistakes the noun ראי for a participle . But if it were designed for a participle, we should have the form ראני .
