- Genesis 4:20
Adah gave birth to Jabal; he was the father of those who dwell in tents and raise livestock.
Commentary on Genesis 4:201 voice

- Genesis 9:21
But when he drank some of its wine, he became drunk and uncovered himself inside his tent.
Commentary on Genesis 9:212 voices
Now the three sons of Noah were Shem, Ham and Japheth, from whom again the race was multiplied: for these were the beginning of mankind after the flood. Now of these one fell under a curse, and the two (others) inherited a blessing by reason of their works.
Irenaeus· The Demonstration of the Apostolic Preaching, Sections 19-21, 202Patristic
When Christ says, "I am the true vine," the blood of Christ is assuredly not water but wine. We are redeemed and made alive by his blood. But in the cup it is not wine as such that redeems but his blood. This is declared by the sacrament and testimony of all the Scriptures. For we find this even in Genesis also, in respect of the sacrament prefigured in Noah. That he drank wine was to them a precursor and figure of the Lord's passion.
Cyprian· Epistle LXII.2-3, 258Patristic
- Genesis 12:8
From there Abram moved on to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built an altar to the LORD, and he called on the name of the LORD.
Commentary on Genesis 12:81 voice
Where there is Bethel, that is, the house of God, there is also the altar. Where there is the altar, there is also the calling on the name of God. It is not by chance that he made such great progress. He hoped in the help of God. The athlete of God exercised and strengthened himself in adversity. He went into the desert.
Ambrose of Milan· ON ABRAHAM 1.2.6, 397Patristic
- Genesis 13:5
Now Lot, who was traveling with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
Commentary on Genesis 13:51 voice
It remains to be seen if Lot too, his nephew, was rich as one who belonged to the same family. But Scripture says only that he had many cattle. In fact, the text reads, "Lot also, who went with Abraham, had flocks, herds and tents." He had no silver, because he was not yet just; in fact, "the tongue of the just man is like silver purified by fire." He had no gold, which was the possession of the one who saw the posterity of Christ, of whom it is written: "And his posterity shines like gold."
Ambrose of Milan· On Abraham, 397Patristic
- Genesis 13:18
So Abram moved his tent and went to live near the Oaks of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the LORD.
Commentary on Genesis 13:181 voice
Moving therefore Abram his tent, he came and dwelt by the valley of Mamre, which is in Hebron. Hebron is a city situated about twenty-two miles south of Jerusalem, which in the times of Moses was called Arbe or Kiriath-Arba, that is, the city of …

- Genesis 18:1
Then the LORD appeared to Abraham by the Oaks of Mamre in the heat of the day, while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent.
Commentary on Genesis 18:11 voice
[Daniel 8:15] "And it came to pass that when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it." He beheld the vision by way of a picture or likeness, and he failed to understand it. Consequently, not everyone who sees comprehends what he has seen; it is just as if we read the Holy Scripture with our eyes and do not understand it with our heart, "...And behold, one stood before me who resembled the appearance of a man." Angels, after all, are not actually men by nature, but they resemble men in appearance.
Jerome· St. Jerome, Commentary on Daniel, CHAPTER EIGHT, 420Patristic
- Genesis 24:67
And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah and took Rebekah as his wife. And Isaac loved her and was comforted after his mother’s death.
Commentary on Genesis 24:671 voice
By the joy [which he received] from Rebekah, who came three years later, Isaac was comforted from the mourning of his mother with which he had been shrouded for three years.
Ephrem the Syrian· COMMENTARY ON GENESIS 21:4, 373Patristic
- Genesis 31:33
So Laban went into Jacob’s tent, then Leah’s tent, and then the tents of the two maidservants, but he found nothing. Then he left Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent.
Commentary on Genesis 31:331 voice
But this pertains to the moral sense, whereas the mystical sense is that Laban, whose name means "lie that has been purified"—and even Satan transfigures himself into an angel of light—came to Jacob and began to demand his possessions from him. Jacob answered him, "Identify whatever of yours I may have," that is, "I have nothing of yours. See if you recognize any of your vices and crimes. I have not carried off with me any of your deceits, and I have no share in your guile; all that is yours I have shunned as a contagion."
Ambrose of Milan· On Jacob and the Blessed Life, 397Patristic
- Exodus 18:7

- Numbers 24:5
How lovely are your tents, O Jacob, your dwellings, O Israel!
Commentary on Numbers 24:51 voice
Concerning the production of foliage, it is said in the Book of Numbers: "How goodly are your tents, O Jacob; your encampments, O Israel! They are like gardens beside a stream." These are the mysteries of Scripture. Who can conceive the charm of the mysteries …

- 1 Kings 12:16
When all Israel saw that the king had refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So the Israelites went home,
- 2 Chronicles 14:15
They also attacked the tents of the herdsmen and carried off many sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.
Commentary on 2 Chronicles 14:151 voice
They smote also the tents of cattle,.... The people that dwelt in tents for the sake of the pasturage of their cattle; the Scenite Arabs, so called from dwelling in tents: and carried away sheep; which those Arabs were feeding in Palestine, and which this great army brought with them for their support: and camels in abundance; which is another circumstance proving them to be Arabs, who abounded with camels: and returned to Jerusalem; with their spoil, and with great joy.
