Jacob's Dream at Bethel

10 Jacob left Beersheba¹ and set out for Haran.² 11 When he reached a certain place,³ he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head⁴ and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream⁵ in which he saw a stairway^a resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.⁶ 13 There above it^b stood the Lord,⁷ and he said: "I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac.⁸ I will give you and your descendants the land⁹ on which you are lying.¹⁰ 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you¹¹ will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south.¹² All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.¹³ 15 I am with you¹⁴ and will watch over you¹⁵¹⁶ wherever you go,¹⁷ and I will bring you back to this land.¹⁸ I will not leave you¹⁹ until I have done what I have promised you.²⁰"²¹
