The danger of Esau’s threats of violence, force his brother Jacob to flee from his presence at the current dwelling in the promised land. Jacob thus departs to a new land in Haran in search of a wife within His mother’s household.
On his way, Jacob encounters “The Place” and sleeps there, dreaming of a ladder connecting heaven and earth together, where angelic hosts ascend and descend upon it. God appears to Jacob and gives a promise to Him and his offspring to come. The next morning, the stone which he laid his head upon becomes an alter as a monument for the dwelling place of the Lord.
