Jacob’s Dream
10Jacob left aBeersheba and went toward bHaran. 11And he came to a certain place and stayed there that night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep. 12And he cdreamed, and behold, there was a ladder ▼▼Or a flight of steps
set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven. And behold, ethe angels of God were ascending and descending on it! 13And behold, fthe Lord stood above it ▼▼Or beside him
and said, h“I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. iThe land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring. 14Your offspring shall be like jthe dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south, and in you and kyour offspring shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15Behold, lI am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and mwill bring you back to this land. For I will nnot leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is oin this place, and I did not know it.” 17And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.” 2 Samuel 8:14
14Then he put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, pand all the Edomites became David’s servants. And the Lord gave victory to David wherever he went.2 Samuel 11:2-5
2It happened, late one afternoon, when David arose from his couch and was walking on qthe roof of the king’s house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful. 3And David sent and inquired about the woman. And one said, “Is not this rBathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of sUriah the Hittite?” 4So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. ( tNow she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 5And the woman conceived, and she sent and told David, “I am pregnant.”2 Samuel 11:27
27And when the mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house, and ushe became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done displeased the Lord.Psalms 121:3-8
3 He will not vlet your foot be moved;he who wkeeps you will not slumber.
4Behold, he who keeps Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The Lord is your keeper;
the Lord is your xshade on your yright hand.
6 zThe sun shall not aastrike you by day,
nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord will abkeep you from all evil;
he will ackeep your life.
8The Lord will keep
your adgoing out and your coming in
from this time forth and forevermore.
Psalms 139:18
18 aeIf I would count them, they are more than afthe sand.I awake, and I am still with you.
