GENESIS 28
JACOB DREAMS OF A LADDER REACHING TO HEAVEN
Isaac warns Jacob not to marry a Canaanite woman but rather someone from the family of Abraham. Meanwhile, Esau marries a third wife, the daughter of Ishmael.
On his way to Haran, Jacob sleeps in Canaan on a single stone for a pillow. Jacob has a dream about a ladder reaching to heaven with angels descending upon it. God tells Jacob that the covenant He made with Abraham now applies to him. God promises land and tells him that his offspring will be as many as the dust of the earth.
In verse 14, God tells Jacob “In you and your offspring shall all of the families of the earth be blessed.” Here, God is referring to how Jesus will come from the line of Jacob and bless the entire earth!
Jacob sets up a pillar and pours oil on top of it, calling the place “Bethel,” which means “house of God.”
