Jacob’s Stairway to Heaven |
| Jacob left
Beersheba and set out for Haran. When he reached a certain place, he
stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones
there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. He had a dream in
which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to
heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. There
above it stood the Lord, and he said, "I am the Lord, the God of your
father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants
the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of
the earth, and you will spread out to the west and the east, to the north
and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and
your offspring.
