In the Bible, what is the story involving "Jacob's ladder" ?

Answer 1

GE 28:10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 There above it stood the LORD, and he said: "I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."

GE 28:16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it." 17 He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven."

GE 28:18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it. 19 He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz.

Answer 2

Jacob had just tricked his father into giving him his brother Esau's blessing, and Esau wanted to kill him. So Jacob ran away to his uncle Lavan in Charan.
On the way there, Jacob stopped to sleep on a mountain. He had a dream that there was a ladder on top of him, with angels climbing up and down. God was at the top of the ladder, and He reassured Jacob that everything would be all right, and blessed him that he would have many descendants and he would return home safely.
When Jacob woke up, he set up a sacrificial stone, renamed the area Beit-el ("House of God"), and pledged one tenth of his possessions to God if he got back safely.

pontius pilate ordered the execution of jesus on the request of the jewish rabbis so as that they'd not lose potential over their human beings. he washed his hands using fact he felt undesirable approximately doing it yet did no longer care with reference to the end result and went on together with his artwork as governor. this would not advise that one and all jews then and now are to blame for it, its only what become written approximately it. To the guy in the past me the Romans positioned the bible at the same time thats why they seem harmless. i'm an atheists. i do no longer have confidence any of the bible's memories are real only fables to help their faith.

Same with Ezikel's wheel.
