Genesis 28

Genesis 28 sends Jacob from Canaan toward Padan-aram. Isaac now openly blesses Jacob with the blessing of Abraham and commands him to marry from Rebekah’s family. At Bethel, Jacob dreams of a ladder reaching heaven with angels ascending and descending, while the LORD stands above it and personally repeats the land, seed, worldwide blessing, presence, protection, and return promises. Jacob awakens in fear, sets up the stone as a pillar, names the place Bethel, and makes a vow.
