Ladder
VIEW:37 DATA:01-04-2020
LADDER.In ancient times ladders were used chiefly for scaling the walls of a besieged city, as frequently shown on the Egyptian and Assyrian monuments (Wilkinson, Anc. Egyp. i. 243; Layard, Nineveh, ii. 372). Although this use of them is probably implied in Pro_21:22, scaling-ladders are first expressly mentioned in the time of the Maccabees (1Ma_5:30). See Fortification, §§ 3, 6.
Jacobs ladder (Gen_28:12) seems to have been rather a flight of stone steps, rising up to heaven (Driver, Com. in loc.).

Gen_28:12 (c) We are made to realize that there is a way to glory from earth. There is a way for us to approach to GOD in prayer, and then return to the fields of labor bringing with us Heaven's blessings.

Ladder
(סֻלָּם, sullatm', a staircase, perh. from סָלִל, to raise up; Sept. κλῖμαξ; the Arab. sullamnun has the same signification) occurs only once, in the account of Jacob's vision in his dream at Bethel (Gen_28:12), where the " 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," represented the Gospel dispensation, the blessings of which the patriarch's posterity were to inherit; the Redeemer himself being this mystic channel of intercourse between heaven and earth (John i, 51). (See Lang, Visio Scalce Jacob, Alt. 1699; Schramm, De Scala Jacobcea, F. ad 0. 17-.) Scalingladders for war (κλίμακες) are mentioned in the Apocrypha (1Ma_5:30). That this was a contrivance known from the earliest times, we have abundant evidence on the monuments of Thebes, where attacks on fortified places are represented as being made by soldiers provided with scaling-ladders (Wilkinson, i, 390). (For illustration, see opposite page.) Similar scenes are frequently depicted on the Assyrian monuments (Layard, Nineveh, ii, 284). SEE FORTIFICATION.
