Genesis 28:11

Jacob came to the place [a special place that will become a holy place] where he had to stay overnight because the sun had set. He took one of the stones at the place, placed it at his head, and lay down to sleep at the place.
[In Hebrew, "the place" is used in the definite form three times. As the story unfolds, it becomes the holy place Bethel (see verse 19), which means "house of God." It is a 3-4 day walk from Beer-Sheva to Bethel, which is located 25 miles north of Jerusalem. The stone may have been used as a pillow or served some other purpose. It does not seem that Jacob was yet fully convinced that the Lord was the only God, see verses 20-21. Many peoples throughout the world regard certain stones as magical and sacred, and perhaps he also had such beliefs. Here the sun goes down, and it is not until Gen. 32:31 (20 years later) when Jacob returns, reconciled with God and on his way to be reconciled with his brother, that the sun rises again. It is a dark time with 14 years as a slave to Laban, see Gen. 31:41.]
