Chasidut zu Bereschit 29:12

וַיַּגֵּ֨ד יַעֲקֹ֜ב לְרָחֵ֗ל כִּ֣י אֲחִ֤י אָבִ֙יהָ֙ ה֔וּא וְכִ֥י בֶן־רִבְקָ֖ה ה֑וּא וַתָּ֖רָץ וַתַּגֵּ֥ד לְאָבִֽיהָ׃

Und Jakob erzählte Rahel, dass er ihres Vaters Verwandter und Rebekkas Sohn sei, da lief sie hin und erzählte es ihrem Vater.

Kedushat Levi

Genesis 29,12. “and he had a dream in ‎which a ladder was featured, etc.;” when a young man begins ‎his career (serving the Lord) he is very enthusiastic and believes ‎that by means of his service he can spiritually elevate not only his ‎immediate surroundings on earth, but even those in the celestial ‎regions. This enthusiasm helps him to intensify his efforts at ‎serving his Creator. When he feels that his serving the Lord has ‎become a mainstay of his existence, he makes G’d the focus of all ‎his thinking, and G’d in turn derives great satisfaction from him. ‎Eventually, if he continues, he eventually qualifies to become one ‎of the “carriers of the merkavah”, G’d’s chariot.‎
The word ‎ויחלום‎, from the same root as ‎ותחלימני והחייני‎ (Isaiah ‎‎38,16) “You have restored me to health and revived me,” means ‎to feel strengthened. In King Chiskiyah’s prayer recorded in the ‎Book of Isaiah, it means that the King emerged from his sickness ‎strengthened in his capacity as a servant of the Lord. He had ‎needed strength as he had been on the point of dying. Yaakov, at ‎this point in his life is also in need of ‎חיזוק‎, strengthening, so that ‎the word ‎ויחלום‎, means that he became aware of being ‎strengthened seeing he was at the beginning of his career as a ‎servant of the Lord, eventually as a patriarch of the Jewish ‎nation.‎
