The morning Manna will be provided at 6am. Thanks.

Studying Genesis in the SSnet.org series Lesson 9, may the Holy Spirit be the speaker to your heart.

The Topic today is: "Jacob's Ladder".

The Opening Hymn will be 229 "Spirit of the Living God"

The Sabbath School Quarterly, downloadable from SSnet.org in the Teacher's Edition is on page 113 and for the laymen edition or Standard Edition, on page 74.

The SSnet.org site allows anyone, anywhere to read the lesson in their own language. Choose your own language to see God speaking also to your heart.

---Dr. Doukhan focused on the word natsav which is set up and could further indicate that God and the ladder is the same.

---it is a contrast to Babel where humans want to go up to God but here God is coming to a human.

---The stone is meant to indicate parts of a sanctuary, temple or some concrete part of it here on earth.

---Then Jacob gave a tithe of his income to God as a thank-offering.

As it is with Jewish Rabbis so it is with the Jewish-Adventist dr. Doukhan: sometimes too creative beyond and above the text. Para-textual. But it is cute.
