Genesis 28:12 in Context — Genesis 28
10 Jacob partit de Beer-Schéba, et s’en alla à Charan.
11 Il arriva dans un lieu où il passa la nuit; car le soleil était couché. Il y prit une pierre, dont il fit son chevet, et il se coucha dans ce lieu-là.
12 Il eut un songe. Et voici, une échelle était appuyée sur la terre, et son sommet touchait au ciel. Et voici, les anges de Dieu montaient et descendaient par cette échelle.
13 Et voici, l’Éternel se tenait au-dessus d’elle; et il dit: Je suis l’Éternel, le Dieu d’Abraham, ton père, et le Dieu d’Isaac. La terre sur laquelle tu es couché, je la donnerai à toi et à ta postérité.
14 Ta postérité sera comme la poussière de la terre; tu t’étendras à l’occident et à l’orient, au septentrion et au midi; et toutes les familles de la terre seront bénies en toi et en ta postérité.
