Genesis 28:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Genesis 28:13

11 So he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.

12 Then he ^adreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there ^bthe angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

13 ^aAnd behold, the Lord stood above it and said: ^b“I am the Lord God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; ^cthe land on which you lie I will give to you and your ^ddescendants.

14 Also your descendants shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad ^ato the west and the east, to the north and the south; and ^bin you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

15 Behold, ^aI am with you and will ^bkeep you wherever you go, and will ^cbring you back to this land; for ^dI will not leave you ^euntil I have done what I have spoken to you.”

16 Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in ^athis place, and I did not know it.”
