The Slave Who Named God: El Roi and the God Who Sees | Bible Story

The story of Hagar and El Roi is one of the most overlooked moments in the Bible—and it reveals a truth about God that changes everything. A slave woman, abandoned and invisible, becomes the first person in Scripture to name God: “El Roi,” the God who sees me. In this cinematic Bible documentary, you will discover why Hagar’s encounter in the desert redefines how we understand God’s character, how her suffering was not forgotten but witnessed, and how the same God who saw her still sees you today. This investigation reveals the hidden meaning behind El Roi, the wilderness of Beersheba, and the powerful moment God opened her eyes to a well that was already there.
