A Jacobs ladder is a ladder made of rope or cable, usually with wooden rungs. It is dropped over the side of a ship to enable people to asd from or desd to small boats alongside. Harbor pilots usually e aboard via a Jacobs ladder.
The Jacobs ladder gets its name from an i in the Book of Genesis（28：12）. The patriarch Jacob falls asleep and the a vision：“And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and <mark></mark>he top of it reached to heaven；and behold the angels of God asding and desding on it.”
Jacobs ladder has been used in at least two other quite earthly meanings. A small plant with a flower-and-leaf formation resembling a ladder bears this name. In England, also what we Ameris call“runs”in hosiery were formerly called Jacobs ladders. Nowadays they are simply ladders.
Jacobs ladder可以登天，所以美国黑社会的thieves Latin（盗贼的隐语，切口）就把梯子叫Jacob。
植物里头花葱属（polemoniums）中的一种就叫Jacobs ladder，因为它们有ladderlike leaves。
