| Jacob went out, &c.--His departure from his father's house was an ignominious flight; and for fear of being pursued or waylaid by his vindictive brother, he did not take the common road, but went by lonely and unfrequented paths, which increased the length and dangers of the journey. |

And Jacob went out
Bethel becomes, because of Jacob's vision there, one of the significant places of Scripture. To the Christian it stands for a realization, however imperfect, of the heavenly and spiritual contents of faith, answering to Paul's prayer in (Eph 1:17-23). Dispensationally, the scene speaks of Israel the nation, cast out of the Land of Promise because of evil-doing there, but holding the promise of restoration and blessing; (Gen 28:15); (Deu 30:1-10). To "an Israelite indeed" Christ speaks of Jacob's vision as to be fulfilled in the Son of man (cf); (Gen 28:12); (Joh 1:47-51). |

| Jacob's Dream at Bethel. - As he was travelling from Beersheba, where Isaac was then staying (Gen 26:25), to Haran, Jacob came to a place where he was obliged to stop all night, because the sun had set. The words "he hit (lighted) upon the place," indicate the apparently accidental, yet really divinely appointed choice of this place for his night-quarters; and the definite article points it out as having become well known through the revelation of God that ensued. After making a pillow with the stones (מאשׁת, head-place, pillow), he fell asleep and had a dream, in which he saw a ladder resting upon the earth, with the top reaching to heaven; and upon it angels of God going up and down, and Jehovah Himself standing above it. The ladder was a visible symbol of the real and uninterrupted fellowship between God in heaven and His people upon earth. The angels upon it carry up the wants of men to God, and bring down the assistance and protection of God to men. The ladder stood there upon the earth, just where Jacob was lying in solitude, poor, helpless, and forsaken by men. Above in heaven stood Jehovah, and explained in words the symbol which he saw. Proclaiming Himself to Jacob as the God of his fathers, He not only confirmed to him all the promises of the fathers in their fullest extent, but promised him protection on his journey and a safe return to his home (Gen 28:13-15). But as the fulfilment of this promise to Jacob was still far off, God added the firm assurance, "I will not leave thee till I have done (carried out) what I have told thee." |
47 Jesus [2424] saw [1492] Nathanael [3482] coming [2064] to [4314] him [846], and [2532] saith [3004] of [4012] him [846], Behold [2396] an Israelite [2475] indeed [230], in [1722] whom [3739] is [2076] no [3756] guile [1388]!
48 Nathanael [3482] saith [3004] unto him [846], Whence [4159] knowest thou [1097] me [3165]? Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Before [4253] that Philip [5376] called [5455] thee [4571], when thou wast [5607] under [5259] the fig tree [4808], I saw [1492] thee [4571].
49 Nathanael [3482] answered [611] and [2532] saith [3004] unto him [846], Rabbi [4461], thou [4771] art [1488] the Son [5207] of God [2316]; thou [4771] art [1488] the King [935] of Israel [2474].
50 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Because [3754] I said [2036] unto thee [4671], I saw [1492] thee [4571] under [5270] the fig tree [4808], believest thou [4100]? thou shalt see [3700] greater things [3187] than these [5130].
51 And [2532] he saith [3004] unto him [846], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], Hereafter [737] [575] ye shall see [3700] heaven [3772] open [455], and [2532] the angels [32] of God [2316] ascending [305] and [2532] descending [2597] upon [1909] the Son [5207] of man [444].
12 And he dreamed [02492], and behold a ladder [05551] set up [05324] on the earth [0776], and the top of it [07218] reached [05060] to heaven [08064]: and behold the angels [04397] of God [0430] ascending [05927] and descending [03381] on it.
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things [01697] are come [0935] upon thee, the blessing [01293] and the curse [07045], which I have set [05414] before [06440] thee, and thou shalt call [07725] them to mind [03824] among all the nations [01471], whither the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath driven [05080] thee,
2 And shalt return [07725] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], and shalt obey [08085] his voice [06963] according to all that I command [06680] thee this day [03117], thou and thy children [01121], with all thine heart [03824], and with all thy soul [05315];
3 That then the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will turn [07725] thy captivity [07622], and have compassion [07355] upon thee, and will return [07725] and gather [06908] thee from all the nations [05971], whither the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] hath scattered [06327] thee.
4 If any of thine be driven out [05080] unto the outmost [07097] parts of heaven [08064], from thence will the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] gather [06908] thee, and from thence will he fetch [03947] thee:
5 And the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will bring [0935] thee into the land [0776] which thy fathers [01] possessed [03423], and thou shalt possess [03423] it; and he will do thee good [03190], and multiply [07235] thee above thy fathers [01].
6 And the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will circumcise [04135] thine heart [03824], and the heart [03824] of thy seed [02233], to love [0157] the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] with all thine heart [03824], and with all thy soul [05315], that thou mayest live [02416].
7 And the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will put [05414] all these curses [0423] upon thine enemies [0341], and on them that hate [08130] thee, which persecuted [07291] thee.
8 And thou shalt return [07725] and obey [08085] the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068], and do [06213] all his commandments [04687] which I command [06680] thee this day [03117].
9 And the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] will make thee plenteous [03498] in every work [04639] of thine hand [03027], in the fruit [06529] of thy body [0990], and in the fruit [06529] of thy cattle [0929], and in the fruit [06529] of thy land [0127], for good [02896]: for the LORD [03068] will again [07725] rejoice [07797] over thee for good [02896], as he rejoiced [07797] over thy fathers [01]:
10 If thou shalt hearken [08085] unto the voice [06963] of the LORD [03068] thy God [0430], to keep [08104] his commandments [04687] and his statutes [02708] which are written [03789] in this book [05612] of the law [08451], and if thou turn [07725] unto the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] with all thine heart [03824], and with all thy soul [05315].
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep [08104] thee in all places whither [0834] thou goest [03212], and will bring thee again [07725] into this land [0127]; for I will not leave [05800] thee, until [0834] I have done [06213] that which I have spoken [01696] to thee of.

19 And [2532] what [5101] is the exceeding [5235] greatness [3174] of his [846] power [1411] to [1519] us-ward [2248] who [3588] believe [4100], according to [2596] the working [1753] of his [846] mighty [2479] power [2904],
20 Which [3739] he wrought [1754] in [1722] Christ [5547], when he raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498], and [2532] set [2523] him at [1722] his own [846] right hand [1188] in [1722] the heavenly [2032] places,
21 Far above [5231] all [3956] principality [746], and [2532] power [1849], and [2532] might [1411], and [2532] dominion [2963], and [2532] every [3956] name [3686] that is named [3687], not [3756] only [3440] in [1722] this [5129] world [165], but [235] also [2532] in [1722] that which is to come [3195]:
22 And [2532] hath put [5293] all [3956] things under [5259] his [846] feet [4228], and [2532] gave [1325] him [846] to be the head [2776] over [5228] all [3956] things to the church [1577],
23 Which [3748] is [2076] his [846] body [4983], the fulness [4138] of him that filleth [4137] all [3956] in [1722] all [3956].
13 And, behold, the LORD [03068] stood [05324] above it, and said [0559], I am the LORD [03068] God [0430] of Abraham [085] thy father [01], and the God [0430] of Isaac [03327]: the land [0776] whereon thou liest [07901], to thee will I give it [05414], and to thy seed [02233];
14 And thy seed [02233] shall be as the dust [06083] of the earth [0776], and thou shalt spread abroad [06555] to the west [03220], and to the east [06924], and to the north [06828], and to the south [05045]: and in thee and in thy seed [02233] shall all the families [04940] of the earth [0127] be blessed [01288].
15 And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep [08104] thee in all places whither [0834] thou goest [03212], and will bring thee again [07725] into this land [0127]; for I will not leave [05800] thee, until [0834] I have done [06213] that which I have spoken [01696] to thee of.
25 And he builded [01129] an altar [04196] there, and called [07121] upon the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], and pitched [05186] his tent [0168] there: and there Isaac's [03327] servants [05650] digged [03738] a well [0875].
