Genesis 21:19 Douay-Rheims

And God opened her eyes: and she saw a well of water, and went and filled the bottle, and gave the boy to drink.

Adam Clarke

God opened her eyes - These words appear to me to mean no more than that God directed her to a well, which probably was at no great distance from the place in which she then was; and therefore she is commanded, Gen 21:18, to support the lad, literally, to make her hand strong in his behalf - namely, that he might reach the well and quench his thirst.
