Jacob's LadderA ladder seen by the patriarch Jacob in a vision. It was set on the earth, and reached to heaven, and angels seemed to be ascending and descending on it (Gen. xxviii. 12). Jacob is, on this account, a cant name for a ladder. There is a pretty blue flower so called. Source: Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, E. Cobham Brewer, 1894 More on Jacob's Ladder from Fact Monster:
