After Abraham's death, God blessed his son Isaac, who then lived near Beer Lahai Roi. The covenant blessing passes from father to son — God blessed Isaac is the confirmation that the covenant is not buried with Abraham. Beer Lahai Roi, the well of the Living One who sees, is Isaac's home. The well named after Hagar's encounter with God is now the place from which the covenant continues. The application: the covenant blessing does not die with the generation that received it first. It passes to the next generation and the next.
