The first stop on Jacob’s journey was a place that would be called Bethel, which is about 10 miles north of Jerusalem and 60 miles from Beersheba. Jacob stopped because night was coming. Now here is where I would have had to have a soft pillow. But Jacob took a stone . . . yes . . . a stone and used it for a pillow. And he actually went to sleep! With rock pillow!! And he dreamed. We have all heard the story of Jacob’s ladder, his dream. There was a stairway reaching into heaven, with angels were moving up and down the stairway.
