Genesis 28:10,11 And Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran. And he lighted on a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took of the stones of that place, and put them for his pillows, and lay down in that place to sleep.
“Lighted on” or “came to” Root wordפגע  implies a Divine encounter at a certain Divine place!
Jacob’s descent from the land of promise is a descent into darkness. Jacob’s exile is symbolic of spiritual darkness.
Isn’t it odd that Jacob is the one that receives the birthright and the blessing, and yet he is the one forced to leave the Land he’s been given, and he’s even leaving empty handed! His attempt to get the blessing through the flesh has backfired and now he is driven from the inheritance. This blessing stuff sure doesn’t work very well! But he comes back a changed man- his walk is different.

The LORD appears to Jacob for the first time
Genesis 28:12,13 And he dreamed, and behold a 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. And, behold, the LORD stood above it(HIM), and said, I am the LORD God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land where on thou lie, to you will I give it, and to your seed; 
Genesis Rabbah 68:12 rabbis disagreed saying the angels were upon him.
