Where is the verses about Jacobs ladder found?

Answer 1

Genesis 28:

"And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it." (verse 12 KJV)

[LIT Literal Bible]: "And he dreamed and, look, a ladder was placed on the earth its top reaching to the heavens. And, look, the angels of God going up and down on it!"

"ladder" (cullam; sool-lawm'): "a stair-case..." (Strong's Definitions).

[NLT New Living Translation]: "As he slept, he dreamed of a stairway that reached from earth to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down on it."

"At the top of the stairway stood the Lord, and He said, 'I AM the Lord, the God of your grandfather Abraham and the God of your father, Isaac. The ground you are lying on belongs to you. I will give it to you and your descendants. Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth! They will cover the land from east to west and from north to south. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you and your descendants'... Jacob woke up... He was afraid and said, 'What an awesome place this is! It is none other than the House of God - the GATEWAY TO HEAVEN!'" (verses 13-17 NLT)

"the House of" [bayith - bah'-yith]: "...a house (in the greatest variation of applications, especially FAMILY, etc.): KJV--court, daughter, door, + dungeon, family, +forth of, X great as would contain, hangings, home(born), [winter]house(-hold), inside(ward), palace, place, +prison, +steward, +tablet, temple, web, +within(out)." (Strong's Definitions)

[LIT]: "...this {is} the DOOR TO THE HEAVENS!"

"the door" [sha'ar]: "...in its original sense; and opening, i.e. door or gate: KJV--city, door, gate, port..." (Strong's Definitions).

"to the heavens" [shamahim; shaw-mah'-yim]: "dual of an unused singular shameh {shaw-meh'}; from an unused root meaning to be lofty; the sky (as aloft; the dual perhaps alluding to the visible arch in which the clouds move, as well as to the higher ether where the celestial bodies revolve): KJV--air, X astrologer, heaven(-s)." (Strong's Definitions)
