Genesis 28:12-16
12and had a dream. He saw a stairway erected on the earth with its top reaching to the heavens. The angels of God were going up and coming down it
13and the Lord stood at its top. He said, “I am the Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the ground you are lying on.
14Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west, east, north, and south. All the families of the earth will pronounce blessings on one another using your name and that of your descendants.
15I am with you! I will protect you wherever you go and will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I promised you!”
16Then Jacob woke up and thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, but I did not realize it!”
