Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to cast up a highway; related to the concept of elevation or ascent.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for סֻלָּם in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of a ladder or stairway in the context of Jacob's dream is unique to the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the idea of ascent or connection between heaven and earth can be thematically linked to Greek terms related to divine revelation or communication, though no specific Strong's Greek number is directly associated with סֻלָּם. Usage: The term סֻלָּם appears in the Hebrew Bible in the context of a vision or dream, specifically referring to a ladder or stairway that connects earth to heaven. Context: The Hebrew word סֻלָּם (sullam) is notably used in the account of Jacob's dream in Genesis 28:12. In this passage, Jacob dreams of a ladder set up on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God ascending and descending on it. This vision is significant in the biblical narrative as it symbolizes the connection between the divine and the earthly realms, and it marks a pivotal moment in Jacob's life, reaffirming God's covenant with him. The imagery of the ladder serves as a metaphor for divine communication and the accessibility of God's presence. The Berean Standard Bible translates this passage as: "And Jacob had a dream about a ladder that rested on the earth, with its top reaching up to heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down the ladder."
