Jacob’s dream

Photo of gouache painting of Star of David in Jacob’s dream is courtesy of illustrator and artist Sabina Saad. The triangle that touches the skies is the ladder with the angels of God ascending and descending on it. The triangle that touches the ground ends in Jacob’s pillow with the Hebrew letters of his name, Yaakov, above it.
Genesis:10-12

And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it
