This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_16:13 And she called the name of the LORD that spake unto her, Thou God seest me: for she said, Have I also here looked after him that seeth me?
Ver. 13. Thou God seest me.] This shows she had been well trained and tutored in her master Abram’s house. Before, she told the angel the plain truth, and lied not. {Gen_16:8} And here she thankfully acknowledgeth God’s goodness in looking upon her forlorn solitariness, setting up a memorial of that mercy to all posterity. The greater was her sin again, that being so well principled, she should have any thoughts of returning to Egypt, there to forsake her faith learned in Abram’s family.
Have I also here looked, &c.,] q.d., Have I found God here also in the wilderness, as I had done oft before in my master’s house? Or, am I yet alive, though I have seen God? {Gen_32:30 Exo_24:11 Jdg_13:23}
