“God ascended from upon him, in the place where He had spoken with him” (Genesis 35:13). “God ascended from upon him” – Reish Lakish said: The patriarchs are the Divine Chariot, as it is stated: “God ascended from upon Abraham” (Genesis 17:22); “God ascended from upon him”; “the Lord stood over him” (Genesis 28:13).16These verses, stated regarding Abraham and Jacob, demonstrate that the Divine Presence rested upon the patriarchs. “Jacob established a monument in the place where He spoke with him, a monument of stone. He poured a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it” (Genesis 35:14). “Jacob established a monument…. He poured a libation upon it” – he poured oil on it from the full mouth of a cruse.17He did not sprinkle a little oil, but rather, poured a large stream of oil.
