Jacob's ladder
Genesis 28:11-12 New English Translation (NET Bible)
11 He reached a certain place where he decided to camp because the sun had gone down.
He took one of the stones and placed it near his head. Then he fell asleep in that place
12 and had a dream. He saw a stairway erected on the earth with its top reaching to the heavens.
The angels of God were going up and coming down it
Jacob’s ladder
“I believe ... help my unbelief”
One of the great statements in the bible
A statement mostly flat ignored
For we think our belief the better
Oh! How silly we really are
To think we are not libel
For fooling self day and night
Pretending to look for Jacob’s ladder
