The phrase for above it in the Hebrew text is ambiguous. It could mean: (1) above it or “at the top of the stairway” or (2) “above/beside him/Jacob”. The interpretation that is not followed in your translation could be put in a footnote. Alternate translation: “Then suddenly Yahweh was standing at the top of the stairway,” or “And Yahweh was also there, standing at the top of the stairway”

In the Hebrew text, “the land that you are lying on” comes first in this sentence in order to emphasize it and show its importance. Do what is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “The land where you are lying I am giving to you and your descendants.” or “I will give you and your descendants this land that you are sleeping on.”
