Yaacov left Be'er Sheba and headed towards Charan, to his uncle Laban's home. While traveling, Yaacov encountered "the place" (Mount Moriah)
and since the sun had set, he lay down to sleep. In a dream he saw a
ladder reaching up to heaven with angels ascending and descending its
rungs. G‑d appeared and informed him that He would bequeath the entire
land to his descendants, and that He would safeguard him until he
returned to Canaan. Yaacov awoke, and now recognizing the holiness of the
location, he erected a monument to G‑d, named the location Beth El ("House of G‑d"), and vowed to tithe all his belongings when G‑d's promise of a safe return would be fulfilled.
YAACOV' S LADDER HOMEMADE TOY
Leah gave birth to four children – Reuben, Simon, Levi, and Yehuda – but Rachel remained barren. Rachel and Leah both gave their handmaids to Yaacov as concubines. Rachel's maid, Bilhah, bore two children – Dan and Naftali – and Leah's maid also bore two children—Gad and Asher. One spring day, Reuben picked jasmine plants from the field, and brought them to his mother. Rachel asks Leah for some of them, and Leah agreed, provided that Rachel relinquishes her turn with Jacob that night. Leah gave birth to another two sons – Issachar and Zebulun – and one daughter—Dinah. Eventually, Rachel, too, gave birth to a son, whom she named Yosef. CUT AND PASTE FAMILY TREE
