Genesis 13:7

וַ יְהִי רִיב בֵּין רֹעֵי מִקְנֵה אַבְרָם וּ בֵין רֹעֵי מִקְנֵה לֹוט וְ הַ כְּנַעֲנִי וְ הַ פְּרִזִּי אָז יֹשֵׁב בָּ אָרֶץ

And he is becoming a wrestling-one between those-who-see491 of a bought-one of Raised-Father and between those-who-see of a bought-one of Lot. And the Humbled and the Unwalled492 are at that time sitting in the Earth.

Strong’s #7473 רֹעִי ro’i. Ro’i is the active participle of ra’ah to see. Properly a seer or him-who-sees = overseer. This is different from ra’ah (#7462) to pasture, tend which is translated shepherd. Abel is called a ra’ah in the participle, one-who-tends a sheep in Genesis 4:2. Hagar is the one who finds herself by the Well of the Living one of Sight [ro’i] in Genesis 16:13. Who could possibly be the Living one of Sight?
