He left that place, went to the hill east of Beit-El and pitched his tent. With Beit-El to the west and ‘Ai to the east, he built an altar there and called on the name of Adonai .
Avraham got up early in the morning, took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, and the child; then he sent her away. After leaving, she wandered in the desert around Be'er-Sheva.
This is why that place was called Be'er-Sheva [well of seven, well of an oath] — because they both swore an oath there.
Avraham planted a tamarisk tree in Be'er-Sheva, and there he called on the name of Adonai , the everlasting God.
Avraham raised his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in the bushes by its horns. Avraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering in place of his son.

Then suddenly Adonai was standing there next to him; and he said, "I am Adonai , the God of Avraham your [grand]father and the God of Yitz'chak. The land on which you are lying I will give to you and to your descendants.
If the God of my father, the God of Avraham, the one whom Yitz'chak fears, had not been on my side, by now you would certainly have already sent me away with nothing! God has seen how distressed I've been and how hard I've worked, and last night he passed judgment in my favor."
Gill's Notes on the Bible
The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles. Or "nations"; distinguished from the Jews; not all the nations of the world, but some hereafter mentioned, as the Egyptians, Philistines, Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Syrians, Arabians, Persians, and Chaldeans: or "concerning the nations" p; the above mentioned; though the prophecies delivered out concerning them are all against them, and not in their favour. Mention is made of Jeremiah's prophesying against all the nations in Jeremiah 25:13; after which follow the several prophecies contained in the next chapters in the Septuagint and Arabic versions, as they stand in the Polyglot Bible.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XLVI
The difference between the preceding and the subsequent
prophecies in point of composition is very remarkable; the
last excelling much in majesty and elegance. This chapter (of
which the first verse forms a general title to this and the
five chapters following) contains two distinct prophecies
relating to Egypt. The first was delivered previous to an
engagement between Pharaoh-necho, king of Egypt, and
Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; in which the Egyptians were
routed in Carchemish with great slaughter, as here predicted.
The prophet sees the mighty preparations; but they are all
declared to be of no avail, as God had decreed their fall, 1-6.
The King of Egypt, however, is represented as marching with all
the confidence of victory, like a river overflowing its banks,
and threatening all around with its inundation, 7, 8.
But this immense armament of Pharaoh-necho, consisting of
various nations, shall, by a righteous judgment of God, receive
such a signal overthrow near the river Euphrates, that the
political consequence of Egypt shall be thereby irretrievably
ruined, and its remaining power become contemptible in the
sight of the nations, 9-12.
The other prophecy, beginning at the thirteenth verse, relates
to the memorable overthrow of the Egyptians by Nebuchadnezzar,
subsequent to his siege of Tyre, in the sixteenth year after
the destruction of Jerusalem, 13-26.
The promise, in the conclusion of the chapter, of preservation
to the Jews, (who have for many ages continued a distinct
people, when the various nations of antiquity who oppressed
them, or with whom they had any intercourse, have long ago
ceased to have any separate and visible existence,) has been
most remarkably fulfilled; and is a very signal act of
providence, and a pledge of the restoration of Israel to the
Divine favour, when the time of the Gentiles shall be
fulfilled, 27, 28.
NOTES ON CHAP. XLVI
Verse Jeremiah 46:1. The word of the Lor d -against the Gentiles — This is a general title to the following collection of prophecies, written concerning different nations, which had less or more connexion with the Jews, either as enemies, neighbours, or allies.
They were not written at the same time; and though some of them bear dates, yet it would be difficult to give them any chronological arrangement. Dahler's mode of ascertaining the times of their delivery may be seen in the table in the introduction.
