Daily Bible Reading - August 1st, 2021 | American Bible Society: Genesis 28:1-22: The book of Genesis includes the history of the early ancestors of the Israelites. The first is Abraham, who was notable for his faith and for his obedience to God. Then follows the stories of his son Isaac and Isaac’s two sons, Jacob and Esau. In today’s reading, Isaac instructs Jacob to marry one of his uncle Laban’s daughters. As Jacob journeys to Haran, he dreams one night of a stairway reaching to heaven. God reiterates the promise made to Abraham and promises to be with Jacob. Jacob dedicates the stone on which he slept to God as a memorial and names the place Bethel, which in Hebrew means “House of God.”
