וְהִנֵּ֨ה יְהוָ֜ה נִצָּ֣ב עָלָיו֮ וַיֹּאמַר֒ אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֗ה אֱלֹהֵי֙ אַבְרָהָ֣ם אָבִ֔יךָ וֵאלֹהֵ֖י יִצְחָ֑ק הָאָ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֤ר אַתָּה֙ שֹׁכֵ֣ב עָלֶ֔יהָ לְךָ֥ אֶתְּנֶ֖נָּה וּלְזַרְעֶֽךָ׃
At narito, ang Walang-Hanggan ay nakatayo sa itaas niya, at Kanyang sinabi: “Ako ang Walang-Hanggan, ang Diyos ni Abraham na iyong ama, at ang Diyos ni Isaac. Ang lupaing hinihigaan mo ay ibibigay Ko sa iyo at sa iyong lahi.

From the BeSh"T. "There are three graces: the grace of a place on (in the eyes of) its inhabitants"... (Sotah 47a). This is explained in Chullin 91b, that [when Jacob slept] God "folded up all of the Land of Israel under him"; "the land which you lie upon, I will give it to you" (Genesis 28:13). Meaning, that you will not need to travel from place to place in order to clarify the land's sparks of holiness, for you will be able to clarify them in your place. "And Noah found grace..." (Genesis 6:8)

Genesis 28:13 “and in his dream there was a ladder standing toward the earth;” the vision represented human beings who, though standing on earth, focus on the heavens, i.e. וראשו מגיע השמימה. Man’s understanding of the celestial regions and what they stand for is based on his service of the Lord.
Genesis 28:12 והנה מלאכי אלוקים עולים ויורדים בו, “and here angels of G’d were ascending and descending on it.” The vision reflects the fact that man’s actions propel the movement of these “angels,” either heavenwards or earthwards. If man, G’d forbid, instead of serving His Creator, does the opposite, he is also having a negative impact on these angels in the celestial spheres, causing them to descend spiritually. This concept has been spelled out in Pessikta Rabbati 21,8 where we are told that ever since the destruction of the Temple, G’d reduced the number of angels constituting His entourage. However, once Yaakov had become firmly established as a servant of G’d, he was granted an additional vision, i.e. והנה ה' נצב עליו, “and here the Lord Himself was standing above the ladder.” This vision refers to the merkavah of G’d, His chariot.
