The Bible story
Jacob’s Ladder
On his way to Haran, Jacob lay down to sleep with a stone under his head. He dreamed of a ladder reaching from earth to heaven with God’s angels going up and down, and the LORD promised to be with him wherever he went. When he woke, Jacob named the place Bethel, which means house of God.
And Jacob had a dream about a ladder that rested on the earth with its top reaching up to heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down the ladder.
