ÒAnd he [Jacob] had a
dream, and behold a ladder was set up on the
earth with its top reaching to heaven. And behold, the angels of God were
ascending and descending on it, and
behold the Lord stood above it and said,
ÔI am the Lord, the God of your father
Abraham, the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie I will give to you and to your
descendants.ÕÓ – Genesis 28
