00:00:01Father, don't!
00:00:04It's sick. It won't survive on its own.
00:00:06Then I'll care for it.
00:00:09Rebecca.
00:00:11Please.
00:00:20I trust you.
00:00:30Yeah. Moving. Yeah.
00:00:32Zephyr, be nice.
00:00:34Careful.
00:00:35That one horn is like a blade for my shears.
00:00:40The storm is coming. You'd better tie him up.
00:00:48See there.
00:00:50I'll come check on you.
00:01:11He'll be scared.
00:01:14As you should be.
00:01:16Come back inside.
00:01:23Grandpa?
00:01:30I tied him right here.
00:01:31He must have broken free and run off.
00:01:36Zephyr!
00:01:37Zephyr!
00:01:38It's not fair.
00:01:39Why would the gods take him away?
00:01:43Did I do something wrong?
00:01:45No, no, no.
00:01:47Maybe...
00:01:47Maybe he was needed elsewhere.
00:01:50I don't understand.
00:01:52We all have a purpose, love.
00:01:54One day yours will reveal itself too.
00:02:00Come back.
00:02:00Let's go.
00:02:00Yes!
00:02:02Why is it here?
00:02:04Baby!
00:02:06Let's go.
00:02:08Come back.
00:02:09Come back.
00:02:10Come back.
00:02:12Come back.
00:02:14Come back.
00:02:16Come back.
00:02:18Keep an eye on your grandmother for a moment.
00:02:20We need some new shears.
00:02:27Why is this real?
00:02:33He thinks I need a nursemaid.
00:02:39Look at this color.
00:02:45Matches your eyes.
00:02:52What's the matter?
00:02:55I think I... I was lost in a memory.
00:03:00Your great-aunt, Sarah, she wore a veil like this on her wedding day.
00:03:05You've mentioned her before?
00:03:08She's the one who left her own.
00:03:09When she was your age.
00:03:12Where did she go?
00:03:13Her husband, Abraham.
00:03:16His God promised them a new life.
00:03:20The adventures they must have had.
00:03:27I've always wondered what lies beyond the mountains of Haran.
00:03:32And to leave her home.
00:03:35I can never, I'd miss it here too much.
00:03:37Maybe it's your destiny as it was my sister Sarah's.
00:03:39And what will you miss if you stay?
00:03:43You have an audience.
00:03:46Men interest you?
00:03:48I've known them all my life.
00:03:50Your father's receiving offers.
00:03:52He may ask you to choose.
00:03:55I won't settle out of fear.
00:03:57Hello.
00:03:59Settling off the three goats in the movie.
00:04:06I'd never forgive you if you did.
00:04:24Please.
00:04:27May I have a drink of water?
00:04:30You may, sir.
00:04:32You may call me Eliezer.
00:04:36I apologize if I startled you.
00:04:39It's been a long journey.
00:04:42Please, drink your fill.
00:04:56Who is that with your camels?
00:05:03I see no one.
00:05:08Of course, things are draw water for them as well.
00:05:12Tell me whose daughter you are.
00:05:14I'm the daughter of Bethuel.
00:05:16Son of Milcah and Nahor.
00:05:18Blessed be the Lord.
00:05:20And has led me straight to my master's ginsmen.
00:05:23Who's your master?
00:05:26Abraham.
00:05:27Can you believe?
00:05:28Did we not just speak of him the other day?
00:05:30What brings his servant to her own?
00:05:32He was sent with an offering.
00:05:36Then I should see to him.
00:05:37Show him my hospitality.
00:05:44Eliezer, did my sister Sarah ever have a child she yearned for?
00:05:48She did.
00:05:49In fact, her son is the reason of my errand.
00:05:52Abraham asked that I return to the land of his father and find his kin.
00:05:56He said an angel would accompany me.
00:05:59An angel?
00:06:00When I arrived, I prayed that if a maiden offered to draw water for me and my camels, she'd be
00:06:07the one I was meant to find.
00:06:08For what purpose?
00:06:11To take her to Canaan, so that she might become wife to my master's son.
00:06:21What do you know of their God?
00:06:24I know that Abraham spoke to him, and I believe it.
00:06:27He was a changed man after that.
00:06:31What are you not telling me?
00:06:33I saw him.
00:06:34Who?
00:06:35The angel.
00:06:36The servant spoke up.
00:06:37I saw him, even as he did not my whole life.
00:06:40I've been waiting for what I don't know.
00:06:44What if this is it?
00:06:46If it is and I don't go, I'll regret it.
00:06:49But if it's not, then I do, I'll regret that too.
00:06:53What does your heart tell you?
00:06:59I assume the animals you traveled with are included.
00:07:02Safe for the cults needed for the journey to Canaan.
00:07:06No need to rush a decision, sister.
00:07:08We've negotiated more time for the Liberations.
00:07:11In ten days, we'll decide if we'll...
00:07:12I don't need ten days.
00:07:14I'll go with him.
00:07:16Are you sure?
00:07:18You once told me that I would know my purpose when it comes.
00:07:36May you be the mother to thousands and tens of thousands.
00:07:57May your descendants inherit the gate of their enemies.
00:08:14Oh, no.
00:08:32Debra, I so appreciate you coming.
00:08:35It would be nice to have a face from home beside me.
00:08:38Not since the day you were born as I left your side.
00:08:44I may need to lean on you.
00:08:46As I adjust to this new everything, you'll have your husband to lean on as well.
00:08:57It's a good name. Isaac. Means laughter.
00:09:02He could be funny. Funny looking.
00:09:35This is your betrothed, Isaac, son of Abraham.
00:09:44Come. I'll announce you.
00:09:54Who's this?
00:09:56Your father sent me to Haran to find a wife.
00:09:59A wife?
00:10:00I assumed he sent word.
00:10:02No, he didn't.
00:10:04This is exactly like him. He's meddling again when he thinks I want himself.
00:10:09Sorry.
00:10:10Forgive me. I don't know who you are or what you've been told, but you've been misled.
00:10:14Could you arrange travel back to wherever she came from?
00:10:20It's nearly night.
00:10:23Fine. In the morning, then.
00:10:35Did you see the look on his face?
00:10:37As though he was the one inconvenienced.
00:10:39I did.
00:10:42Now I'm to return home with a stain of rejection.
00:10:48No one will believe what really transpired.
00:10:51What was I thinking coming here?
00:10:53Excuse me. Sorry, I didn't get your name.
00:10:59Now he invades my privacy.
00:11:02What do you want?
00:11:03I've worried of your travel.
00:11:05Spit it out, then.
00:11:08Well, there's been a delay.
00:11:11A delay?
00:11:13Where's Eliezer?
00:11:14Why does he not return us to Haran?
00:11:17Uh, he left.
00:11:20Left?
00:11:21Yes, this morning, at first light, he went to Beersheba, my father's household.
00:11:26How long will it take, then?
00:11:29Several days, maybe more.
00:11:31Of course.
00:11:32Why stem the embarrassment? We can linger in it a little longer.
00:11:35Uh, it was never my intention to offend.
00:11:38I just, uh, I wasn't expecting you.
00:11:43You have my apologies.
00:11:44I don't need your pity.
00:11:46The indignity itself is enough, thank you.
00:11:48My anger wasn't directed at you.
00:11:51My father.
00:11:55He was doing what was best for you.
00:11:57I assure you, he has no idea what that would mean.
00:12:01Uh, are you hungry?
00:12:03I have food, I could bring food.
00:12:04It's unusual you live so far from him.
00:12:06You're estranged, I take it.
00:12:08Which of you offended the other?
00:12:10Given my recent experience, I have a guess as to the culprit.
00:12:13You're speaking of things you know nothing about.
00:12:14Your father is a respected and righteous man.
00:12:17What could he possibly have done?
00:12:18He held a knife to my throat, and he was going to kill me.
00:12:25Uh, forgive me.
00:12:27It's not your burden.
00:12:31How can it be true?
00:12:33I owe grandmother's own account.
00:12:35Abraham is the finest of me.
00:12:36He's no reason to lie.
00:12:38Not about something like that.
00:12:57I accept.
00:12:59You accept.
00:13:00It's clear I've landed in the midst of whatever war rages between you and your father.
00:13:04Perhaps it was unfair of me to blame you.
00:13:07So I accept your apology.
00:13:11Well, it seems I needn't have bothered then.
00:13:15With what?
00:13:18It's a bauble, really.
00:13:22But it's a peace offering.
00:13:34Oh, thank you.
00:13:45It's beautiful.
00:13:47I find threading the beads strangely calming.
00:13:52That's something I love for my father.
00:13:57Glad to know things between you weren't all bad.
00:14:02Well, thank you again.
00:14:04Pleasure.
00:14:17The beast was twice the size of any man.
00:14:20With its eyes gouged out.
00:14:22But it didn't mean its eyes to fight me.
00:14:24You could use its nose.
00:14:27And its ear.
00:14:30And its...
00:14:33I got you.
00:14:34I saw your face.
00:14:35You were very scared.
00:14:39And you...
00:14:40You were the most scared.
00:14:41I'm sorry.
00:14:41Out of everyone.
00:14:42You were.
00:14:43They say our escort arrives tomorrow.
00:14:50So we'll be home soon.
00:14:52If that's what you want.
00:14:56If that's what you want.
00:15:20You can't sleep either.
00:15:25When I was little, I used to try and count them.
00:15:33May I ask you a question?
00:15:36Of course.
00:15:38Were you unhappy in Iran?
00:15:41No.
00:15:42Why leave your home to marry the man you'd never met?
00:15:47I thought my purpose was elsewhere.
00:15:50As ridiculous as that now sounds.
00:15:52I don't think it's ridiculous.
00:16:00All the stars in the sky.
00:16:03So shall my descendants be.
00:16:06Too numerous to count.
00:16:08God himself promised so.
00:16:11Promised who?
00:16:12Well, not me.
00:16:14God doesn't speak to me.
00:16:15Only my father.
00:16:18I'm sorry.
00:16:23I was the test.
00:16:26My father's God commanded him to make a sacrifice.
00:16:30A burnt offering.
00:16:33So he and I traveled for three days to Mount Moriah.
00:16:38And it didn't occur to me to ask, until we were halfway up, where the lamb was.
00:16:46He said, don't worry.
00:16:50Should we reach the highest point?
00:16:51He built a pyre of wood.
00:16:54And then he turned to me.
00:16:57I've never seen that look like it.
00:16:59It was so much...
00:17:02Sorrow.
00:17:07That's when I realized...
00:17:11I was the sacrifice.
00:17:14The way he looked at the way he looked at me.
00:17:18He was prepared to do it.
00:17:19To kill me.
00:17:20Who could do such a thing?
00:17:22My father could.
00:17:25He believed God gave him a son.
00:17:27And if God wanted the son back, then...
00:17:30It was not his to withhold.
00:17:32I don't know how I can love him and hate him in...
00:17:37You're stronger than you know, Isaac.
00:17:39To understand why he did it.
00:17:41And the fear.
00:17:42He must have felt.
00:17:46Not everyone can do that.
00:17:49I sometimes dream about the ram.
00:17:52That was the sacrifice in my place.
00:17:55It seemed so calm.
00:17:58As if it was...
00:17:59Exactly where it was supposed to be.
00:18:06What's most striking about it, though, was its eyes.
00:18:09One blue.
00:18:10One brown.
00:18:12Alongside an unusual shaped horn.
00:18:14I thought your father brought no offering.
00:18:17It's as if it appeared from nowhere.
00:18:19Like it dropped out of the sky.
00:18:22Which was...
00:18:23That was so strange that day.
00:18:25The clouds were...
00:18:27Roiling in a way I've never seen before.
00:18:29Or since.
00:18:32How long ago did all of this happen?
00:18:35Many years.
00:18:39Why do you ask?
00:18:43It's nothing.
00:18:44It's just...
00:18:46When I was a girl, I raised a lamb.
00:18:49He had one brew eye and one brown.
00:18:52Alongside an unusual shaped horn.
00:18:55And one night he disappeared in a storm.
00:18:58Just like the one you described.
00:19:01Could you wait here a moment?
00:19:09My father gave me this when I came of age.
00:19:11So...
00:19:12I would remember that day.
00:19:23stepha.
00:19:27My lamb.
00:19:31Are you certain?
00:19:33Yes.
00:19:37I don't know what this means
00:19:41That I don't have to keep looking anymore
00:19:46My purpose
00:19:48Is you
00:19:50You'll stay
00:19:53And be my wife
00:20:21Isaac should know the truth
00:20:24I don't want to worry
00:20:27I have never seen a child
00:20:29Toss and turn like this
00:20:32Something's distressing him
00:20:33What if I miss something
00:20:35Or it's beyond her understanding
00:20:37Only God may know
00:20:39That I'll inquire it in myself
00:20:47I beseech you, Lord
00:20:50Tell me why my womb fights with itself
00:20:55What troubles my unborn child
00:21:00What is its fate
00:21:04I beg you, my Lord
00:21:18I beg you, my Lord
00:21:21Rebecca
00:21:32Thank you
00:21:36Two for you today
00:21:38Sounds like a storm's growing
00:21:50Rebekah?
00:21:52Rebekah?
00:22:09Rebekah!
00:22:13Rebekah!
00:22:20Rebecca!
00:22:26Rebecca!
00:22:28Rebecca!
00:22:29Rebecca!
00:22:31Rebecca!
00:22:32Rebecca! Are you alright?
00:22:33Are you alright? You're not hurt.
00:22:34I'm fine. I'm fine.
00:22:36Alright, I need to get inside.
00:22:39Isaac, Isaac!
00:22:41He spoke to me.
00:22:45He spoke to me.
00:22:48I spoke to him.
00:22:53I asked him to bless our son
00:22:55and to ensure his good health
00:22:57and I never thought he'd answer.
00:23:03I'm not unwell, my love.
00:23:06I did hear him.
00:23:08I swear it.
00:23:09I still feel his words in my bones.
00:23:11My father's God.
00:23:14Yes.
00:23:17What did he say?
00:23:20That we're to have
00:23:21two sons.
00:23:23Twins?
00:23:26A blessing to be sure
00:23:27and the reason it's not been easy.
00:23:30they strive against one another.
00:23:32He also said that one would be stronger
00:23:37and that the elder would serve the younger.
00:23:44The younger would be her.
00:23:47As with you and Ishmael.
00:23:56There are two.
00:23:58Just as you thought.
00:24:00They both strive to be first.
00:24:02Forgive me mistress.
00:24:03I must settle the question of which it'll be
00:24:05or we risk harming all of you.
00:24:08It is time.
00:24:10It is time.
00:24:23What do you want?
00:24:28It is time to die.
00:24:30It is time to die.
00:24:30It is time to die.
00:24:34It is time to die.
00:24:37It is time to die.
00:24:42The second one announces himself.
00:24:45Hush mistress.
00:25:03You'll need extra attention this one.
00:25:18Oh.
00:25:22Hello.
00:25:25Hello.
00:25:30Look at his head.
00:25:35Esau.
00:25:37Surely his name has to be Esau.
00:25:45Which is firstborn?
00:25:47The one you hold.
00:25:55And this shall be Jacob.
00:25:58My little lamb.
00:25:59He's the one you hold.
00:26:04Look, look, look, look, look, look, look.
00:26:06Look, look, look, look, look.
00:26:07Look at you.
00:26:09Look at you.
00:26:10Look at you.
00:26:11You want to be a hunter like no other.
00:26:13I know it.
00:26:13I know it.
00:26:14I'll take Jacob for you.
00:26:18There we are.
00:26:20You mean a lamb?
00:26:22It's all right.
00:26:24It's all right.
00:26:24It's all right.
00:26:24Let's go.
00:26:24It's all right.
00:26:29Let's go.
00:26:30There's something we've not discussed in some time.
00:26:34What's that, my love?
00:26:35Something we need to revisit.
00:26:37What awaits them is God's divine.
00:26:42We don't need to talk about that now.
00:26:45Then when?
00:26:55Eliezer.
00:26:58What's all this?
00:27:00An offering from your father.
00:27:01He follows behind.
00:27:03Abraham is coming.
00:27:04To celebrate the birth of his grandsons.
00:27:06We are to ready a feast for the occasion.
00:27:08He is here but a few days.
00:27:09Which we are.
00:27:11Do not worry, my love.
00:27:12I will be with you every step of the way.
00:27:15But for now, there is much to do.
00:27:20The matter of all we discussed earlier,
00:27:23I ask that we give it to ourselves.
00:27:26They don't want your father to know.
00:27:29No.
00:27:30All the boys.
00:27:32Let them grow up and become who they meant to be.
00:27:35And then we'll revisit.
00:28:00I have seen brothers strive, but not before they had names.
00:28:04So it must have been difficult on you.
00:28:06Worth every moment.
00:28:10His spirit is strong.
00:28:13You wouldn't think they're the same age.
00:28:17Esau's firstborn.
00:28:18Yes, I can tell.
00:28:20It's good you have broad shoulders, child.
00:28:22Great weight will be on them in time.
00:28:27And this one.
00:28:29Jacob's clever, you can tell.
00:28:32Always thinking.
00:28:33He's best in for great things, I think.
00:28:37Time won't tell.
00:28:50It will allow you to pull the water to the surface in half the time.
00:28:56Jacob may be the brightest among us.
00:28:58And a few handslips.
00:29:02You spent more time with him.
00:29:03You'd see for yourself.
00:29:04It'll catch on this latch here.
00:29:07You think I don't see him?
00:29:09I think you're easily distracted.
00:29:24Brother, we shall feast on your favorite stew tonight.
00:29:27Make sure to draw enough for every pod in camp.
00:29:33I see him.
00:29:35Mind me.
00:29:35He is Optimus.
00:29:54Is that all that's left?
00:29:56Have you not eaten?
00:29:57Kills do not cut themselves.
00:29:59I've been at it since returning from the hunt.
00:30:01Shame.
00:30:02It's quite good.
00:30:04Give it to me.
00:30:06You're not the only one who's hungry.
00:30:07You wouldn't have any if it weren't for me.
00:30:11Buy it from me.
00:30:13Don't be a child.
00:30:18What do you want for it?
00:30:21Sell me your birthright.
00:30:24Have you been drinking father's wine?
00:30:30Fine.
00:30:31I don't want it anyway.
00:30:33The stew were your birthright.
00:30:52Boys being boys.
00:30:53You deceive yourself.
00:30:55You refuse to see what's right in front of you.
00:30:57And you refuse to listen.
00:30:59Rebecca, I will not revisit this conversation.
00:31:02Esau is the firstborn.
00:31:03By choice of the midwives delivering him.
00:31:05Nothing more.
00:31:06You favor Jacob.
00:31:07Fine.
00:31:08But you cannot usurp what is Esau's by birthright.
00:31:11So says the second born heir.
00:31:14Ishmael is your elder by years.
00:31:16Esau by only moments.
00:31:17And yet somehow, God's will has bearing in one instance and not the other.
00:31:22God's will.
00:31:25So what this is about?
00:31:27Because he spoke to me and not you.
00:31:31Be careful.
00:31:34Believe me.
00:31:36My love, I'd much rather he'd spoken to you.
00:31:40Every day I'm forced to look at our boys knowing God values one more than the other.
00:31:43Do you think I want this?
00:31:45It is a burden.
00:31:46And one I desperately wish I wasn't alone in carrying.
00:31:49I love Esau.
00:31:51Really?
00:31:53He provides like no other, but he is reckless.
00:31:57Do you know that two nights ago I saw a servant leave his tent?
00:32:01Barely dressed.
00:32:03He will get himself in trouble in short order.
00:32:06Do you make all these leaps to support your argument?
00:32:09No, Isaac.
00:32:10Esau's headstrong and decisive.
00:32:13We mustn't mistake confidence for competence.
00:32:17The future of your nation is at stake.
00:32:19How do I make you understand?
00:32:21All right, I've lived this.
00:32:22I've lived the result.
00:32:27If we go against the natural order of things, we will lose them both.
00:32:32Please, swear to me.
00:32:35Swear to me.
00:32:36You will never mention this to either of them.
00:32:39You said there would come a time.
00:32:41Rebecca!
00:32:43Forgive me.
00:32:45I come with word.
00:32:46What is it?
00:32:47What is it?
00:32:47Your father.
00:32:48There's no more sign.
00:32:49He's dying.
00:33:00The great man lies dying.
00:33:05Would that he will give me the courage.
00:33:08The courage to follow God's will.
00:33:18Welcome.
00:33:20He is weak.
00:33:21But he will be gladdened to see you.
00:33:30What happens next?
00:33:33The blessing carries the weight of your grandfather's covenant with God.
00:33:37They are not merely words.
00:33:39You understand?
00:33:47I never understood.
00:33:51Me and truth, neither did I.
00:33:54But I loved you so.
00:33:57I'm proud of you and the man you've become.
00:34:11Isaac, unite our households.
00:34:20Look after my people.
00:34:25As if they were your real.
00:34:27I shall.
00:34:29Son.
00:34:37May your descendants be as numerous as the stars and sand.
00:34:42All the nations of the earth shall be blessed by them.
00:34:48When you obey his command, my covenant with God passes to you.
00:34:56God dying.
00:35:01Amen.
00:35:53God bless and keep you, Father.
00:36:06Fear and doubt, plague Esau.
00:36:09God has told me.
00:36:13It is Jacob who must lead nations.
00:36:19You must see it all.
00:36:47Have you come to join the hunt, brother?
00:36:50Father, Simon, a bow for Jacob.
00:36:52It is about time you learned how to use one, brother.
00:36:55You are supposed to be at council.
00:36:57It is not my son.
00:37:01See that the killers are brought back to camp?
00:37:05Is father angry?
00:37:06He would be, had I not made excuses for you.
00:37:09I do not deserve you, brother.
00:37:14Father, we will be back to camp.
00:37:16Now we will confess all my transgressions.
00:37:18And if you win?
00:37:20What else is there to take?
00:37:22Hey.
00:37:24Yeah.
00:37:25Yeah.
00:37:28Come on.
00:37:29Come on.
00:37:30Winner takes all.
00:37:31Go.
00:37:32Come on.
00:37:32Keep up.
00:37:33Come on now, brother.
00:37:34It's an open range.
00:37:36You cannot claim what belongs to nature.
00:37:38Abraham himself blessed this land
00:37:40and granted us grazing rights.
00:37:42Your rights died.
00:37:43Quiet!
00:37:46You dare invoke my father's name?
00:37:50Do you think this is what he'd want?
00:37:53The petty quarrels, the mistrust.
00:37:56Come on, brother.
00:37:57Is it the horse who tires or you?
00:37:59It's the horse.
00:38:00Come on.
00:38:00Come on.
00:38:01Yeah.
00:38:01You're too slow, Jacob.
00:38:03Yeah.
00:38:04Yeah.
00:38:04In the years since our communities came together,
00:38:08I'd hoped we'd have grown closer.
00:38:12But our differences seem only more pronounced.
00:38:15Don't try and keep up, brother.
00:38:17Come on.
00:38:17I was hoping for a race.
00:38:19Yeah.
00:38:20Come on.
00:38:21Go.
00:38:22Yeah.
00:38:23Yeah.
00:38:24Separately, we are weak.
00:38:27We leave ourselves vulnerable to those who want what we have.
00:38:31But as one nation,
00:38:33we are protected.
00:38:35We are stronger and richer in every way,
00:38:38which leaves us with a choice.
00:38:41Will we grow and prosper together?
00:38:44Be the shepherds of God's promise,
00:38:46or will we splinter and languish alone?
00:38:53Draw your borders.
00:38:55And if you cannot find common ground,
00:38:57I'll leave you both with none.
00:39:00Don't choose.
00:39:03Yes.
00:39:03Yes.
00:39:07Yes.
00:39:10I win again, brother.
00:39:13Please, please.
00:39:14You must hit me.
00:39:16The Hittites.
00:39:17They plugged up our world with sand.
00:39:19Our herd won't live to see the new moon.
00:39:21You must do something.
00:39:22The Hittites.
00:39:24They are vile,
00:39:25but not unreasonable.
00:39:26I've had plenty of dealings with them.
00:39:28Father,
00:39:29you allow me?
00:39:30My son's word carries the weight of my own.
00:39:32You'll see to it.
00:39:35Tell me about the hunt.
00:39:36That buck that eluded me the last few days.
00:39:39Yes.
00:39:39I found him by the glen.
00:39:41We all feast for days.
00:39:44You fetched him, didn't you?
00:39:46It shouldn't be my responsibility
00:39:47to remind Esau of his.
00:39:49Stop protecting him.
00:39:51Leave him to his devices.
00:39:53Let him succeed or fail on his own.
00:39:55We know what will happen.
00:39:57Then your father will know as well.
00:39:59What does it matter?
00:40:01Esau's the firstborn.
00:40:02His fate has decided,
00:40:03as is mine.
00:40:04It matters.
00:40:12It matters more each day.
00:40:22Esau.
00:40:23He's stepping into the role.
00:40:25We must support him.
00:40:27Both of us.
00:40:30Even your father saw it.
00:40:33But you.
00:40:35You refused.
00:40:36Not this again.
00:40:37I thought we were past this.
00:40:38You are past it.
00:40:40I'm forced to confront it at every turn.
00:40:44You have no idea
00:40:46what it's like to look at our sons,
00:40:48knowing what I know.
00:40:49To feel responsible and helpless
00:40:52at the same time.
00:40:55Because my husband denies it.
00:40:58He denies the will of God.
00:41:02Forgive me, my love.
00:41:06How am I to respect your wishes
00:41:07when you ignore mine?
00:41:08Where are you going?
00:41:09My appetite's left for me.
00:41:17Help!
00:41:18Someone back out!
00:41:19It's Esau!
00:41:20He's hurt!
00:41:21Isaac.
00:41:29Esau!
00:41:31Esau, what happened?
00:41:33Help!
00:41:37Esau, can you hear me?
00:41:39Who did this?
00:41:40The Hittites.
00:41:41I went to talk to them about the well.
00:41:43I tried to get them to listen.
00:41:45But that was never their intention.
00:41:47But they mean war.
00:41:48Then that's what we should give them.
00:41:49Isaac, no.
00:41:50Ready the men.
00:41:54As soon as I am able.
00:41:56we will take the fight to them.
00:42:03All of the souls are well.
00:42:05You saw what they did to him.
00:42:07They attacked our family.
00:42:09They attacked the Covenant itself.
00:42:23Why are we speaking alone?
00:42:26I must know your thoughts about what's to come.
00:42:29This reeks of a dispute that got out of hand.
00:42:31But in matters of war, we have little experience.
00:42:34We would lose.
00:42:37Do you like your brother more confidence than we should?
00:42:41It is not my place to intervene.
00:42:43Nor is it yours.
00:42:45There is something I must tell you.
00:42:51Something I swore to your father I never would.
00:42:56What is it?
00:42:59Jacob, when I was pregnant with you, God's right.
00:43:02He revealed himself.
00:43:05What did he say?
00:43:07That the Covenant is meant to pass to you.
00:43:11Not your brother.
00:43:15I don't understand.
00:43:17Esau is the firstborn.
00:43:18It's his birthright.
00:43:19Everyone looks to him as the heir.
00:43:20Because your father refuses to accept it.
00:43:22He was chosen over his brother as well.
00:43:26And it scarred him.
00:43:31But if God commands it.
00:43:33Your father's relationship with him is complicated.
00:43:38But he needs to see what I see.
00:43:40When I look upon you, will God cease?
00:43:43Then I must prove it to him.
00:43:46Show him.
00:43:47I will go to the Hittites.
00:43:50And secure a peace between us.
00:43:51You'll be risking your life.
00:43:55For the sake of our people.
00:43:57I have no other choice.
00:44:14Who are you?
00:44:16And why do you trespass on our soil?
00:44:19I am Jacob, son of Isaac.
00:44:23I extend an offer from my father to put aside our differences.
00:44:27Whatever wrongs exist between us, let us make them right.
00:44:35To broker peace.
00:44:37Will you allow me that?
00:44:45You went behind father's back, and you went behind mine.
00:44:49You had no right.
00:44:50I did what I had to, to keep this from escalating.
00:44:53He put his own life in jeopardy, but you, you'd risk all of us.
00:44:56You overstepped.
00:44:57Both of you.
00:44:59And now we look weak in the face of the adversary.
00:45:02Adversary?
00:45:02You said it yourself.
00:45:04They are reasonable people.
00:45:06I have come to the same conclusion.
00:45:09I wonder, was it you that lost your head?
00:45:10Is that what started all of it?
00:45:11That's enough!
00:45:13Esau!
00:45:17And Jacob, the way this was handled, I have no words.
00:45:26The Hittites are open to a resolution.
00:45:29I'm certain of it.
00:45:33What was the proposition?
00:45:35We are to welcome a delegation to join us for a feast.
00:45:38You invite the enemy for dinner.
00:45:40Food and wine often pave the road to peace.
00:45:43This will not end as you hope.
00:45:51See to the preparations.
00:45:59Rebecca, you put him up to this.
00:46:02You think I don't see him, but I see everything.
00:46:06I see everything.
00:46:26They've come in numbers.
00:46:29You were clear this was a negotiation?
00:46:31Yes.
00:46:32But their leader only wanted to speak to Father directly.
00:46:37The road to peace seems more like a river.
00:46:39No, they're more robust than expected.
00:46:43I'll extend an invitation for formal peace talks in the morning.
00:46:49Thank you again for coming.
00:46:51You're welcome here.
00:46:52You're all welcome here.
00:46:55I appreciate your hospitality.
00:46:56Please feel free to make a mess.
00:46:58And perhaps in the morning, you and I could say no, enough.
00:47:03What is it?
00:47:03I'm not sure.
00:47:04Enough pleasantries.
00:47:05We've been here for hours.
00:47:07Is your son going to do the right thing or not?
00:47:10My son.
00:47:11I think there's been a misunderstanding.
00:47:13There's no misunderstanding.
00:47:16Esau defiles my daughter and sends his brother to make amends.
00:47:21You're a coward.
00:47:22He is a liar.
00:47:24Some liar.
00:47:25Look at me.
00:47:26I want you to swear to me that this is not your doing.
00:47:29I've never even seen her before.
00:47:43I've never even seen her before.
00:48:13It's done.
00:48:14He'll marry the Hittite girl.
00:48:19They could have killed you.
00:48:22I am not the one who invited them here.
00:48:25You're without the truth.
00:48:27All of this happened because you cannot control yourself.
00:48:33Don't just stand there.
00:48:35Go.
00:48:37Apologize to your betrothed.
00:48:59He's hungry.
00:49:01His cries all sound the same.
00:49:03How do you know?
00:49:04Comes with time.
00:49:06He'll learn.
00:49:11He needs to eat, my love.
00:49:14And so do I.
00:49:17Your father's unwell.
00:49:18You ought to take his place at council.
00:49:20I'd have plans to go and hunt near the river.
00:49:23You have different plans now.
00:49:37These Hittites and their idols.
00:49:39This is not what my grandfather would have wanted.
00:49:42If Iso tolerates them, it's almost you.
00:49:48You have to listen to me.
00:49:50So disrespectful.
00:49:50It's no business of hers what happens in my tent.
00:49:53My children hear them.
00:49:55They're not even married.
00:49:56Enough of this nonsense.
00:49:59Leave.
00:50:05These idols are all over the camp.
00:50:08They don't even try to hide them anymore.
00:50:19The Hittites are not God-fearing people.
00:50:22Watch where you tread.
00:50:24You speak of Adar's family and mine.
00:50:28This is a place of civility.
00:50:30Act like it, both of you.
00:50:31Yes, little brother.
00:50:33Do you know your place?
00:50:35That is my place.
00:50:39Jacob.
00:50:40Go on.
00:50:41Tell him.
00:50:44You shouldn't be out of bed.
00:50:46No, it is good that you are here.
00:50:49Jacob was about to invite me into a little secret that both he and Mother share.
00:50:54He needed to know.
00:50:56You defied me.
00:50:58I said my peace and you defied me.
00:51:00As you defy God.
00:51:07Isaac.
00:51:09Isaac, speak to me.
00:51:12I can't see.
00:51:14I can't see.
00:51:17I can't see.
00:51:24I have seen this before.
00:51:26It strikes quickly and resolves slowly.
00:51:30If it resolves,
00:51:32it can render you unable to speak
00:51:35or to walk.
00:51:37Or to see.
00:51:39Yes.
00:51:40But he'll improve.
00:51:44It's possible.
00:51:46But you must plan as if he won't.
00:51:53This is our fault.
00:51:56He's been sick for some time.
00:51:59But this...
00:52:03This feels different.
00:52:06Will you pray with me?
00:52:16Lord, may your mercy rest upon your servant Isaac
00:52:19and restore his body and mind.
00:52:21May his days still be numerous.
00:52:24May your power and grace heal and sustain him.
00:52:29May his continued life bring honor and glory to your name.
00:52:41I'm here.
00:52:41I'm here, love.
00:52:42I'm here.
00:52:43I'm here.
00:52:44I'm here.
00:52:47Is it blind?
00:52:48It's all right.
00:52:49It's morning.
00:52:50Oh, no.
00:52:51It's morning.
00:52:53It's all right.
00:52:59There's so many things I must say to you.
00:53:04Yes, all.
00:53:09I'll send for your sons.
00:53:11No, no.
00:53:14Esau.
00:53:22You can't leave me.
00:53:27I don't know what I would do.
00:53:29We cannot wait.
00:53:31You must receive my blessing.
00:53:41And the angel of God came down to Abraham a second time
00:53:45and said,
00:53:46you must leave this land.
00:53:52Is it the end?
00:53:53He believes so.
00:53:56He intends to bless Esau.
00:53:57He's asked your brother to hunt and repair me of woe.
00:54:00We must get to him first.
00:54:03You want me to receive the blessing in Esau's stead?
00:54:06Without a sight, he may not know the difference.
00:54:08If he touches me, he will know.
00:54:09Let me worry about that.
00:54:11Has our conspiring not caused enough damage?
00:54:12It's his resistance that's caused it.
00:54:17Do you believe God spoke to me?
00:54:20Yes.
00:54:22Yes, of course.
00:54:23Then you must also accept his word
00:54:25and act before it's too late.
00:54:26What if I bring upon myself a curse
00:54:28instead of a blessing?
00:54:31You let it be my curse.
00:54:35I love your father and your mother both.
00:54:38You think I'd suggest such a thing
00:54:39if I saw another way?
00:54:42Go to the flock.
00:54:44I thought you wouldn't get first, too.
00:54:46Go.
00:54:47Hurry.
00:54:50Hurry.
00:54:53Hurry.
00:54:56Here.
00:55:25Let's go.
00:55:26Let's go.
00:55:56Let's go.
00:56:26Who's that?
00:56:33Esau.
00:56:36I've done as you asked.
00:56:39Bring him to me.
00:56:55Esau.
00:56:58Let me eat of your game, so that I may bless you.
00:57:28Come near her, my son.
00:57:44May God give you of the dew of heaven and of the fatness of the land.
00:57:52May people praise you, and nations bow down for you.
00:58:13You're blessed.
00:58:15May everyone bless you.
00:58:19I'm crying.
00:58:23Oh.
00:58:25Oh.
00:58:27Oh.
00:58:30Oh.
00:58:31Oh.
00:58:37Oh.
00:58:42Oh.
00:58:53Father, I've done exactly as you asked.
00:59:15No, forgive me.
00:59:33Help me understand.
00:59:35There's but one blessing.
00:59:38As I was with Abraham and my father, only one can accept the covenant.
00:59:48Please, I beg you, do not act rashly.
01:00:00I know it was you.
01:00:08You left me no choice.
01:00:14If you believe that I've been, then you too are blind.
01:00:22Esau is the heir.
01:00:24No Draco holds the covenant.
01:00:29Neither are home.
01:00:34You deceived me.
01:00:37And you condemned the Lord.
01:00:51Don't eat your judgment, daughter.
01:00:54Add my fill.
01:01:00Esau and I, our beginning was not ideal.
01:01:07But I love him as he does me.
01:01:11I know it to be true.
01:01:15And I must tell you what he's planning.
01:01:17Because it will only make things worse for him.
01:01:24Surely I can reason with him.
01:01:26You will go to my brother in Haran and stay with him.
01:01:28Until when?
01:01:30Until Esau's fury subsides.
01:01:32And if it never does?
01:01:34This is God's will.
01:01:41I love you.
01:01:47Go.
01:01:51Go.
01:02:09Please, keep on safe.
01:02:15All those who seek miracles,
01:02:17fear not.
01:02:19You godless champion has arrived.
01:02:25You stay to my stay.
01:02:27Where's father?
01:02:28You're late and you're drunk.
01:02:31Ah.
01:02:31Well, that would explain it.
01:02:33Come.
01:02:35Learn something.
01:02:37Your grandfather had me in here when I was your age.
01:02:40Simon promised to take us on a hunt.
01:02:42Did he?
01:02:44Many wait on you, Esau.
01:02:46Perhaps it's best to get through this without distraction.
01:02:50Fine.
01:02:52Go.
01:02:59You're getting enough rest.
01:03:02The new baby is, uh...
01:03:05spirited.
01:03:21You brought me back from the dead.
01:03:24For me, you live to reserve me.
01:03:28No.
01:03:30Perhaps for a while.
01:03:34Perhaps for a long while.
01:03:40I've been trapped in this old body so long.
01:03:44I've had time to think.
01:03:48I've been trapped in this old body.
01:03:50What have you arrived at?
01:03:57I'm as responsible as you are.
01:04:14Standing my ground is tearing us all apart.
01:04:20My beloved husband is fading away.
01:04:27Jacob is lost to me in exile.
01:04:36I question whether my purpose is worth the cost.
01:04:42And Esau is weak and diminished.
01:04:50And this is my doing.
01:04:56I hate to seem like this.
01:05:13I do love you.
01:05:19I hope you know that.
01:05:25Perhaps part of you does.
01:05:36No one cares about the weight of a mother's blessing.
01:05:42But I give you mine nonetheless.
01:05:50May the burdens be lifted from you.
01:05:55So that you can be the man you're meant to be.
01:06:00For your children, your wives.
01:06:05And yourself.
01:06:33What's going on?
01:06:34A messenger from the road.
01:06:36He says there's a caravan on the way.
01:06:38From where?
01:06:39Iran.
01:06:41Oh, it's Jacob.
01:06:42It's Jacob.
01:06:44Oh, he's coming home.
01:06:45I'm going home.
01:06:53Your mother's waiting for you.
01:06:55She hopes to quiet your mind.
01:07:00You have no business being in here.
01:07:02His time not healed what was broken.
01:07:04I only ever stood in the way of what he wants.
01:07:06And now, he intends to take it by force.
01:07:12You don't know his intentions.
01:07:13And you do.
01:07:15Even if you did.
01:07:17I cannot trust you to tell me the truth.
01:07:21Every morning, I see you standing on that hill.
01:07:26Waiting for him.
01:07:28Wishing it was him here instead of me.
01:07:31It's not true.
01:07:34I promise you it's not true.
01:07:40All I've ever wanted was for us to be a family.
01:07:42And that can never happen.
01:07:44Because of you.
01:07:46It is me or him.
01:07:48And I will not let him destroy what I have built here.
01:07:50Is this the life you wanted?
01:07:52You know nothing of what I want.
01:07:56He is your blood.
01:07:57And if his return relieves you, then...
01:08:02I not welcome it.
01:08:04Please, please.
01:08:10This is not what God wants.
01:08:11No.
01:08:12No!
01:08:13It is not what you want!
01:08:15And that's all it's ever making!
01:08:18Hasn't it, Mother?
01:08:26Please!
01:08:27God!
01:08:33Word is he travels in numbers.
01:08:35There can only be one reason.
01:08:37To take back what he believes is his.
01:08:39Then he will pay for his treachery.
01:08:41With his life.
01:09:05There are women and children among them.
01:09:10A distraction.
01:09:12Nothing more.
01:09:13Nothing more.
01:10:10It's been a long time, brother.
01:10:19Why are you without weapon?
01:10:23I'm not here to fight.
01:10:26I only hope to find favor in your eyes.
01:10:32I have dreamt of this day.
01:10:44Do as you must, brother.
01:10:48For all that I have done,
01:10:50it is your right.
01:10:52I have dreamt of this day.
01:10:56Oh!
01:10:56Oh, my God.
01:11:55It's good to see you, brother.
01:12:15They say you'll step aside?
01:12:18Yes.
01:12:22How do you feel?
01:12:40Where are you going?
01:12:59Don't tell me.
01:13:06Don't tell me.
01:13:41I didn't think I would be here if it ever came to pass.
01:13:44But to meet his family, his children.
01:13:51God has truly missed us this day.
01:13:53Don't tell me.
01:14:12Don't tell me.
01:14:30Don't tell me.
01:14:34Don't tell me.
01:14:36Don't tell me.
01:14:41Don't tell me.
01:14:46I don't expect anyone to understand.
01:14:51But I've done my best to be your servant.
01:14:55If I've transgressed, I hope you'll forgive me.
01:14:58Don't tell me.
01:14:59Don't tell me.
01:15:00Don't tell me.
01:15:01It's taken so long.
01:15:03Costs so much.
01:15:06that we arrived here.
01:15:10Our family is reunited.
01:15:16You will be the one to judge me in the end.
01:15:20But today,
01:15:22today I have this,
01:15:24and I shall revel in it.
