11And he reached 1a acertain place and spent the night there because the sun had set; and he took one of the stones of the place and put it 2under his head and lay down in that place.

12aThen he had a dream, and behold, a 1ladder stood on the earth with its top touching heaven; and behold, bthe angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

13And behold, aYahweh stood 1above it and said, “I am Yahweh, bthe God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie, I will give it cto you and to dyour seed.

14“And your seed will also be like athe dust of the earth, and you will 1spread out bto the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and cin you and in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

15“Behold, aI am with you and bwill keep you wherever you go. And cI will bring you back to this land; for dI will not forsake you until I have done what I have 1promised you.”

16Then Jacob aawoke from his sleep and said, “bSurely Yahweh is in this place, and I did not know it.”
