Jacob's Ladder for Kids: Bible Story & Printables
The story in a nutshell
Jacob went out from Beer-sheba toward Haran, took of the stones of that place for his pillows, and lay down to sleep. He dreamed of a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven, with the angels of God ascending and descending on it, and the LORD stood above it and said, "I am with thee, and will keep thee in all places whither thou goest." Jacob awaked and said, "Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not." He set up the stone for a pillar, poured oil upon the top of it, and called the place Bethel.
