Jacob’s Ladder

I love today’s reading from Genesis. It is of Jacob’s ladder.

He had a dream: a ladder was there, standing on the ground with its top reaching to Heaven and there were angels of God going up it and coming down and the Lord was there standing over him, saying ‘I am the Lord the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac. I will give to you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. (Genesis 28:10-22)

I don’t know why I love it so much. It’s just a wonderful poetic image of angels climbing the ladder.
