Why was she the first to name God?
Would you give scripture, please. Thanks.Why was she the first to name God?
I'm not sure that she was the first to name God. I think she just recognized God's hand in her life when he comforted her.Why was she the first to name God?

It could be because she was rejected and alone and God came to her to help her. Maybe the Bible is showing that rejected people are seen by Him too.In the bible she is ... and yes her naming had to do with this, but my question is why was she the first, is there any signifgance to this, or do we toss it aside as having no relevance ...
Some have rendered this: "she called on or to the name of the Lord"; rather than saying she named the Lord.
Well, reasoning will not suffice; we need to always see Scripture in the context and compared with all other references. God is Lord over this world and Hagar knew that, and as the Angel spoke she knew it was the Word of God. I personally don't think she named the Lord, but I will leave the subject alone. Keep looking up!
Hagar was not looking at God because no person has seen Him and lived-John 1:18
Consider other scriptures other than Genesis 16:13: Genesis 16:7; 32:30; Judges 6:20-22; 13:22. The apparitions or human forms were angles or Christ himself.-John 1:1.
Are you sure?The Bible does not record anyone other than her up to this point using this name.
What name?Are you sure?
Genesis 4:26 - "Then men began to call upon the name of the Lord."
If I'm not mistaken "El roi" was the name she used.In the Hebrew, both verses say "Yahweh".
