Genesis 28:11-13

Expanded Bible

¹¹ When he came to a place, he spent the night there because the sun had set. He found a stone and laid his head on it ·to go to sleep [^Land lay down in that place]. ¹² Jacob dreamed that there was a ·ladder [or stairway; or ramp] resting on the earth and reaching up into heaven, and he saw ·angels [messengers] of God ·going up and coming down [ascending and descending on] ·the ladder [^Lit; John 1:51]. ¹³ Then Jacob saw the Lord standing above the ladder [28:12], and he said, “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your grandfather, and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your ·descendants [^Lseed] the ·land [ground] on which you are now ·sleeping [lying; 12:1–3].
