Genesis 16:13

And she is calling-out the name of Yahweh, the One-who-orders toward her,608 `Yourself is el of sight.`609 For she has said, `Is it610 also here I have seen the back-parts of his-who-sees-me?`611

Strong’s #8034. Heb. אֵ֣ל רֳאִ֑י, el roi. Roi is a noun that means sight and seer but also a participle verb he-who-sees. It is used of Shepherds, overseers, as we saw earlier. If Hagar sees “behind him-who-sees”, then we have some connection to the story of Shem and Opened walking backward with the Garment toward their naked mother, which is a story about the brother “not seeing” the naked-one. See Genesis 9:23. Compare with the two disciples of John beholding the backside of Jesus and then following him,

And having looked to the Salvation-of-Yah walking, he is saying, behold, the lamb of the Theos. And heard the two learners of himself speaking, and they followed the Salvation-of-Yah. But turned-around the Salvation-of-Yah, and looked upon them following…” John 1:36-38 literal

In this contrived scene, what we have is a redux of two brothers (Andrew and Peter) and Jesus as “the Garment” in between with all three of them walking backwards until Jesus turns around, the “covering” of “Rest’s naked-one”.
