The Great Chain of Being

چکیده
William Blake’s iconic painting Jacob’s Ladder was inspired by the Old Testament story in the book of Exodus (28:10-19). Jacob, the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham, was fleeing from his twin brother Esau who had vowed to kill him. On his way to a relative’s house, Jacob lay down for the night. As he was dreaming, he had a vision of a ladder between heaven and earth. God’s angels were on it, ascending and descending a spiral stairway. Jacob saw God standing above the ladder and communed with Him, receiving “great benedictions and illuminations.”
