章节摘录

　　He found the country of his uncle without much difficulty， but on the journey he had a strange dream。 He had fallen asleep in the desert， near a placecalled Bethel。 Suddenly， so he said afterwards， the sky opened。 He had seen aladder which reached from the earth to the Heavens。 On the ladder were many of the angels of Jehovah。 At the top of the ladder stood Jehovah himself and Jehovah had spoken and had promised that he would be a friend to the fugitive and would help him during his exile。　　But whether this is really true， that I do not know and I rather believe that Jacob afterwards told the storv to ease the knowledge of his own guilt and make people believe that he was not really as bad as they might think since he had retained the friendship of so powerful a god。　　As for the help which was to come to him from Heaven， of that we notice very little。 For when Jacob reached the land of Ur， he found his uncle willing to give him a home， but when he asked for the hand of his cousin Rachel， who was young and beautiful， Laban first MADe his nephew work for him forno thing for seven years， and then gave him his oldest daughter， Leah， whom Jacob did not like and did not want。 But when he said so， his uncle told him it was the custom of the country t　　give the older daughter in marriage before the younger lefi home， and if Jacob wanted Rachel too， he must promise to work another seven years。 In that case， he could have her also。　　……
