Cross-References
Noah built an altar to God . He selected clean animals and birds from every species and offered them as burnt offerings on the altar. God smelled the sweet fragrance and thought to himself, "I'll never again curse the ground because of people. I know they have this bent toward evil from an early age, but I'll never again kill off everything living as I've just done.
He moved on from there to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent between Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. He built an altar there and prayed to God .
Abraham got up early the next morning, got some food together and a canteen of water for Hagar, put them on her back and sent her away with the child. She wandered off into the desert of Beersheba. When the water was gone, she left the child under a shrub and went off, fifty yards or so. She said, "I can't watch my son die." As she sat, she broke into sobs.
That's how the place got named Beersheba (the Oath-Well), because the two of them swore a covenant oath there. After they had made the covenant at Beersheba, Abimelech and his commander, Phicol, left and went back to Philistine territory.
Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and worshiped God there, praying to the Eternal God. Abraham lived in Philistine country for a long time.
Abraham looked up. He saw a ram caught by its horns in the thicket. Abraham took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.
Jacob left Beersheba and went to Haran. He came to a certain place and camped for the night since the sun had set. He took one of the stones there, set it under his head and lay down to sleep. And he dreamed: A stairway was set on the ground and it reached all the way to the sky; angels of God were going up and going down on it.
Then God was right before him, saying, "I am God , the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. I'm giving the ground on which you are sleeping to you and to your descendants. Your descendants will be as the dust of the Earth; they'll stretch from west to east and from north to south. All the families of the Earth will bless themselves in you and your descendants. Yes. I'll stay with you, I'll protect you wherever you go, and I'll bring you back to this very ground. I'll stick with you until I've done everything I promised you."
These are the children born to Jacob through Rachel—fourteen.
These are the children born to Jacob through Bilhah, the maid Laban had given to his daughter Rachel—seven.
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.
p על גוים "super gentes", Montanus; "de gentibus", Cocceius.

Against the Gentiles - Or, concerning the nations Jer. 46–49:33.
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.
