When Isaac grew up, he married
Rebekah; they had twin sons named Esau and Jacob. One night after the twins had grown up, Jacob went on a journey to visit his uncle Laban. The first night on the road, he slept outside under the stars, using a
stone for a pillow. As he slept, "he dreamed that there was a ladder
set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God
were ascending and descending on it." After this dream of the angels going up and down the ladder between heaven and earth, God spoke to Jacob and blessed him: "Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever
you go." In the morning Jacob used the stone that had been his
pillow to mark the place as holy ground.
