Genesis 28:10 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 28:10

And Jacob went out from Beersheba
Where Isaac and Rebekah now lived: from hence he went alone, without any servants to attend him, though perhaps not without letters of recommendation from his parents, testifying their affection to him, and that he came with their knowledge and consent, and was their heir, as Isaac had been to Abraham; nor without provisions, at least not without money to purchase them by the way, as appears by the oil he had, ( Genesis 28:18 ) : and went toward Haran:
for thither he could not get in one day, being many days' journey; (See Gill on Genesis 28:5).

Genesis 28:10 In-Context

8 So Esau saw that his father Isaac did not want his sons to marry Canaanite women.

9 Now Esau already had wives, but he went to Ishmael son of Abraham, and he married Mahalath, Ishmael's daughter. Mahalath was the sister of Nebaioth.

10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran.

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.

12 Jacob dreamed that there was a ladder resting on the earth and reaching up into heaven, and he saw angels of God going up and coming down the ladder.
