-------------- COACH'S CHALLENGE ---------------

You are tasked with educating Apprentices
in understanding the meaning behind the words
loosely used within ritual.
You are to use the story of Jacob's Ladder
and the Tower of Babel.

Your Tasks:

1) Identify the actual word used to denote
the ladder Jacob dreamed about.
2) Describe what that word denotes.
3) Did the Jacob story occur before or after
the Tower of Babel story
and what is the significance of each story
in the efforts made to connect two places?
