Genesis 28:12 in Context — Genesis 28

10 E Jacó saiu de Berseba, e foi a Harã;

11 ele chegou a um lugar, e ali dormiu, porque o sol já se havia posto. E tomou uma das pedras daquele lugar e a pôs por sua cabeceira, e deitou-se naquele lugar.

12 E sonhou, e eis uma escada que estava posta na terra, e seu topo tocava no céu; e eis que anjos de Deus subiam e desciam por ela.

13 E eis que o SENHOR estava no alto dela, e disse: “Eu sou o SENHOR, o Deus de teu pai Abraão, e o Deus de Isaque; a terra em que estás deitado, eu a darei a ti e à tua descendência.

14 E a tua descendência será como o pó da terra, e te estenderás ao ocidente, ao oriente, ao norte, e ao sul; e todas as famílias da terra serão abençoadas em ti e na tua descendência.
