00:10I failed you.
00:12No.
00:12Your bloodline ends with me.
00:15Previously on The Faithful.
00:17God spoke to me.
00:19Go forth, he said, from your native land and to a land that I will show you.
00:23He's going to give us children, Sarai.
00:26Abram's God did not bring you out her own to not give you a child.
00:30We did what you asked, and nothing.
00:33My work stays closed.
00:35Hagar, I want you to have Abram's child on my behalf.
00:39Your son.
00:41Ishmael.
00:43Sarai will have a son.
00:46I am too old.
00:47This is madness.
00:49Shielders, you're a child.
00:51His name will be Isaac.
00:53God will make his covenant with him.
00:55Ishmael is your eldest.
00:57It's God's will.
00:58I'll never bow to him.
01:00Never.
01:01Cast them by that.
01:02We have to protect Isaac and covenant.
01:05Ishmael, please, come back!
01:17I was chosen to lead by God.
01:22And it tested me at every turn.
01:25Pitted me against my family.
01:27My husband.
01:30And my sons.
01:33Those that I loved.
01:38If it meant I had to deceive.
01:42That was my burden.
01:45And my destiny.
01:50I stand here now.
01:53With blood on my hands.
01:59Father, don't.
02:02It's sick.
02:03It won't survive on its own.
02:04Then I'll care for it.
02:07Rebecca.
02:09Please.
02:19I trust you.
02:31Zephyr, be nice.
02:33Careful.
02:34That one horn is like a blade for my shears.
02:39The storm is coming.
02:41You better tie him up.
02:48See there.
02:50I'll come check on you.
03:12He'll be scared.
03:15As you should be.
03:17Come back inside.
03:19Come back inside.
03:25Zephyr?
03:31I tied him right here.
03:33He must have broken free and run off.
03:38Zephyr?
03:39Zephyr?
03:40It's not fair.
03:42Why would the gods take him away?
03:46Should I do something wrong?
03:47No, no, no.
03:48Maybe, maybe he was needed elsewhere.
03:53I don't understand.
03:55We all have a purpose, love.
03:57One day yours will reveal itself too.
04:04Zephyr?
04:05Zephyr?
04:07Zephyr?
04:09Zephyr?
04:11Zephyr?
04:12Zephyr?
04:13Zephyr?
04:13Zephyr?
04:14Zephyr?
04:15Zephyr?
04:16Zephyr?
04:16Zephyr?
04:17Zephyr?
04:17Zephyr?
04:18Zephyr?
04:20Zephyr?
04:21Zephyr?
04:22Zephyr?
04:24Zephyr?
04:26Zephyr?
04:31Zephyr?
04:32Zephyr?
04:34Zephyr?
04:36Zephyr?
04:37Zephyr?
04:38Zephyr?
04:40Zephyr?
04:40Zephyr?
04:40Zephyr?
04:40Zephyr?
04:42Zephyr?
04:42Zephyr?
04:45Zephyr?
04:46Look at this colour.
04:51It matches your eyes.
04:59What's the matter?
05:02Nothing, I... I was lost in a memory.
05:07Your great-aunt Sarah, she wore a veil like this on her wedding day.
05:12You've mentioned her before?
05:13Hmm. She's the one who left Haran.
05:16When she was your age.
05:19Where did she go?
05:20Her husband, Abraham.
05:23His God promised them a new life.
05:27The adventures they must have had.
05:34I've always wondered what lies beyond the mountains of Haran.
05:40But to leave home.
05:43I can never, I'd miss it here too much.
05:45Maybe it's your destiny as it was my sister Sarah's.
05:48And what will you miss if you stay?
05:52You have an audience.
05:54None interest you?
05:57I've known them all my life.
05:59Your father's receiving offers.
06:01He may ask you to choose.
06:04Hmm.
06:04I won't settle out of fear.
06:06No.
06:08Certainly not the three goats in the meal.
06:16I'd never forgive you if you did.
06:17Hmm.
06:19Hmm.
06:20Hmm.
06:21Hmm.
06:23Hmm.
06:27Hmm.
06:30Hmm.
06:33Hmm.
06:37Hmm.
06:41Hmm.
06:41Hmm.
06:43Hmm.
06:58Please, may I have a drink of water?
07:01You may, sir.
07:03You may call me Eliezer.
07:08I apologize if I startled you.
07:11It's been a long journey.
07:15Please, drink your fill.
07:29Who is that with your camels?
07:36I see no one.
07:41Poor things, I draw water for them as well.
07:45Tell me whose daughter you are.
07:48I'm the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milca and Nahor.
07:52Blessed be the Lord.
07:54And who has led me straight to my master's ginsmen.
07:57Who's your master?
08:00Abraham.
08:01Can you believe?
08:02Did we not just speak of him the other day?
08:04What brings his servant to her own?
08:07He was sent with an offering.
08:10Then I should see to him.
08:12Show him my hospitality.
08:19Eliezer, did my sister Sarah ever have the child she yearned for?
08:23She did.
08:24In fact, her son is the reason of my errand.
08:28Abraham asked that I return to the land of his father and find his kin.
08:32He said an angel would accompany me.
08:35An angel?
08:37When I arrived, I prayed that if a maiden offered to draw water for me and my camels, she'd be
08:43the one I was meant to find.
08:44For what purpose?
08:47To take her to Canaan, so that she might become wife to my master's son.
08:58What do you know of their God?
09:01I know that Abraham spoke to him, and I believe it.
09:05He was a changed man after that.
09:09What are you not telling me?
09:11I saw him.
09:12Who?
09:13The angel.
09:14The servant spoke of.
09:15I saw him, even as he did not.
09:17My whole life, I've been waiting for what I don't know.
09:23What if this is it?
09:24If it is and I don't go, I'll regret it.
09:28But if it's not, and I do, I'll regret that too.
09:31What does your heart tell you?
09:38I assume the animals you traveled with are included.
09:41Safe for the cults needed for the journey to Canaan.
09:45No need to rush a decision, sister.
09:48We've negotiated more time for the Liberations.
09:50In ten days we'll decide if we'll-
09:51I don't need ten days.
09:54I'll go with him.
09:56Are you sure?
09:58You once told me that I would know my purpose when it comes.
10:17May you be the mother to thousands and tens of thousands.
10:25I miss you.
10:27And by you.
10:39May your descendants inherit the gate of their enemies.
10:49You...
10:53You...кие...
11:07You...
11:08... You...
11:13Thoseθielen
11:17Debra, I so appreciate you coming.
11:20It would be nice to have a face from home beside me.
11:23Not since the day you were born as I left your side.
11:29I may need to lean on you.
11:33As I adjust to this new...
11:37everything.
11:38You'll have your husband to lean on as well.
11:43It's a good name.
11:45Isaac means laughter.
11:49He could be funny.
11:52Funny looking.
12:23This is your betrothed, Isaac, son of Abraham.
12:33Come, I'll announce you.
12:43Who's this?
12:45Your father sent me to Haran to find a wife.
12:49A wife?
12:50I assumed he sent word.
12:51No, he didn't.
12:54This is exactly like him.
12:55He's meddling again when he thinks I want himself.
12:58Well, sorry, forgive me.
13:01I don't know who you are or what you've been told,
13:02but you've been misled.
13:05Should you arrange travel back to...
13:08wherever she came from?
13:11It's nearly night.
13:14Fine, in the morning then.
13:27Did you see the look on his face?
13:29As though he was the one inconvenienced.
13:31I did.
13:33Now I'm to return home with a stain of rejection.
13:40No one will believe what really transpired.
13:43What was I thinking coming here?
13:45Excuse me, um...
13:46Sorry, I didn't get your name.
13:52And now he invades my privacy.
13:54What do you want?
13:56I've word of your travel.
13:58Spit it out, then.
14:01Well, there's been a delay.
14:04A delay?
14:06Where's Eliezer?
14:07Why does he not return us to Haran?
14:11Uh, he left.
14:13Left?
14:15Yes, uh, this morning, first light.
14:17He went to Beersheba, my father's household.
14:20How long will it take, then?
14:23Several days, maybe more.
14:25Of course.
14:26Why stem the embarrassment?
14:27We can linger in it a little longer.
14:29Uh, it was never my intention to offend.
14:33I just, uh, I wasn't expecting you.
14:37You have my apologies.
14:39I don't need your pity.
14:41The indignity itself is enough, thank you.
14:43My anger wasn't directed at you.
14:47My father...
14:51He was doing what was best for you.
14:53I assure you, he has no idea what that would mean.
14:57Uh, are you hungry?
14:59I have food, I could bring food.
15:00It's unusual you live so far from him.
15:02You're estranged, I take it.
15:04Which of you offended the other?
15:06Given my recent experience, I have a guess as to the culprit.
15:09You're speaking of things you know nothing about.
15:11Your father is a respected and righteous man.
15:13What could he possibly have done?
15:14He held a knife to my throat, and he was going to kill me.
15:21Uh, forgive me.
15:24It's not your burden.
15:29How can it be true?
15:30I, your grandmother's own account,
15:32Abraham is the finest of men.
15:34He's no reason to lie.
15:35Not about something like that.
15:38There!
15:56I accept.
15:57You accept?
15:59It's clear I've landed in the midst of whatever war rages
16:02between you and your father.
16:03Perhaps it was unfair of me to blame you.
16:06So I accept your apology.
16:11Well, it seems I needn't have bothered then.
16:14With what?
16:17It's, it's a,
16:19a, a, a, a, a peace offering.
16:34Oh, yeah.
16:46It's beautiful.
16:48I find threading the beads,
16:50um, strangely calming.
16:54That's something I love for my father.
16:58Glad to know things between you aren't all bad.
17:04Well, thank you again.
17:06Pleasure.
17:22The beast was twice the size of any man.
17:25With its eyes gouged out.
17:28But it didn't mean its eyes to play me.
17:30It could use its nose.
17:32And it's ears.
17:35And it's...
17:36And it's...
17:38I've got you.
17:40I saw your face.
17:41You're very scared.
17:45And you, you were the most scared.
17:47Out of everyone.
17:49They say our escort arrives tomorrow.
17:56So we'll be home soon.
17:59If that's what you want.
18:03If that's what you want.
18:29Can't sleep by them.
18:33When I was little,
18:34I used to try and count them.
18:42May I ask you a question?
18:44Mm.
18:45Of course.
18:46Were you unhappy in Iran?
18:50No.
18:50Why leave your home to marry
18:53the man you'd never met?
18:57I thought my purpose was elsewhere.
19:00As ridiculous as that now sounds.
19:02I don't think it's ridiculous.
19:10All the stars in the sky.
19:14So shall my descendants be.
19:16Too numerous to count.
19:19God himself promised so.
19:22Promised who?
19:23Well, not me.
19:25God doesn't speak to me.
19:26Only my father.
19:29I'm sorry.
19:34I was the test.
19:37My father's God commanded him to make a sacrifice.
19:42A burnt offering.
19:45So he and I traveled for three days to Mount Moriah.
19:50And it didn't occur to me to ask until we were halfway up where the lamb was.
19:59He said, don't worry.
20:02Should we reach the highest point?
20:04He built a pyre of wood.
20:07And then he turned to me.
20:10I've never seen her look like it.
20:12It was so much...
20:16sorrow.
20:21That's when I realized...
20:24I was the sacrifice.
20:27The way he looked at me.
20:32He was prepared to do it.
20:33To kill me.
20:34Who could do such a thing?
20:36My father could.
20:39He believed God gave him a son.
20:41And if God wanted the son back, then...
20:44It was not his to withhold.
20:47I don't know how I can love him and hate him in...
20:52You're stronger than you know, Isaac.
20:55To understand why he did it.
20:56And the fear.
20:58You must have felt.
21:01Not everyone can do that.
21:05I sometimes dream about the ram.
21:08That was the sacrifice in my place.
21:11It seemed so calm.
21:14As if it was...
21:16Exactly where it was supposed to be.
21:22What's most striking about it, though, was its eyes.
21:25One blue.
21:26One brown.
21:29Alongside an unusual shaped horn.
21:31I thought your father brought no...
21:33No offering.
21:34It's as if it appeared from nowhere.
21:36Like it dropped out of the sky.
21:39Which was...
21:40That was so strange that day.
21:42The clouds were...
21:44Roiling in a way I've never seen before.
21:47Or since.
21:49How long ago did all of this happen?
21:53Many years.
21:57Why do you ask?
22:02It's nothing.
22:03I just...
22:04When I was a girl, I raised a lamb.
22:08He had one blue eye and one brown.
22:11Alongside an unusual shaped horn.
22:14And one night he disappeared in a storm.
22:17Just like the one you described.
22:20Could you wait here a moment?
22:28My father gave me this when I came of age.
22:32So...
22:32I would remember that day.
22:43Is that her?
22:48My lamb.
22:52Are you certain?
22:54Yes.
22:58I don't know what this means.
23:02That I don't have to keep looking anymore.
23:08My purpose...
23:09Is here.
23:12You'll stay.
23:15And be my wife.
23:25I don't know what this means for her.
23:30Oh.
23:30Oh.
23:47Isaac should know the truth.
23:49I don't want to worry.
23:52I have never seen a child toss and turn like this.
23:58Something's distressing him.
23:59What if the middle of I miss something,
24:01or it's beyond her understanding?
24:04Only God may know.
24:06Then I'll inquire it for myself.
24:14I beseech you, Lord.
24:18Tell me why my wound fights with itself.
24:22What troubles my unborn child?
24:28What is his fate?
24:32I beg you, my lord.
24:47I beg you, my lord.
24:50Rebecca.
25:05Two for you today.
25:08Seems like a storm's growing.
25:10I don't know, sonny.
25:20Rebecca?
25:22Rebecca!
25:24Rebecca!
25:28Ah!
25:29Ah!
25:31Ah!
25:31Ah!
25:33Ah!
25:34Ah!
25:36Ah!
25:38Me!
25:41Rebecca!
25:45Rebecca!
25:52Rebecca!
25:58Rebecca!
26:00Rebecca!
26:03Rebecca, are you alright?
26:05Are you alright? You're not hurt.
26:06I'm fine. I'm fine.
26:08Alright, I need to go inside.
26:12Isaac. Isaac.
26:14He spoke to me.
26:18He spoke to me.
26:19Come on.
26:26I asked him to bless our son
26:28and to ensure his good health
26:30and I never thought he'd answer.
26:37I'm not unwell, my love.
26:40I did hear him.
26:42I swear it.
26:43I still feel his words in my bones.
26:46My father's gone.
26:48Yes.
26:51What did he say?
26:55That we're to have two sons.
26:58Twins?
27:01A blessing, to be sure.
27:02And the reason it's not been easy.
27:05They strive against one another.
27:08He also said that one would be stronger.
27:12And that the elder would serve the younger.
27:19The younger would be her.
27:22As with you and Ishmael.
27:33There are two.
27:34Just as you thought.
27:36They both strive to be first.
27:39Forgive me mistress.
27:40I must settle the question of which it'll be.
27:42Or we risk harming all of you.
27:45It is time.
27:46No more, when I was doing this.
28:06Sonica changes my time to his brother.
28:09I want a little shock.
28:14I want a little shock.
28:16I've secured an other little shock.
28:21The second one announces himself.
28:23Posh mistress.
28:42He'll need extra attention, this one.
28:59Oh.
29:03Hello.
29:06Hello.
29:12Look at his head.
29:17Esau.
29:19Surely his name has to be Esau.
29:26Which is firstborn?
29:28The one you hold.
29:37And this shall be Jacob.
29:41My is a lamb.
29:48Look at you.
29:49Look, look, look, look, look, look.
29:51Look at you.
29:52Look at you.
29:53Look at you.
29:55Oh.
29:56You're gonna be a hunter like no other.
29:58I know it.
29:58I know.
29:58It's all right.
29:59I'll take Jacob for you.
30:03There we are.
30:16There's something we've not discussed.
30:18Wow.
30:19In some time.
30:20What's that, my love?
30:21Something we need to revisit.
30:23What awaits them.
30:25Is God's divine.
30:28Oh, no.
30:29We don't need to talk about that now.
30:31Then when?
30:33What?
30:42What is it?
30:46What is it?
30:47What is it?
30:47What is it?
30:47What is it?
30:47An offering from your father.
30:48He follows behind.
30:50Abraham is coming.
30:51To celebrate the birth of his grandsons.
30:54We are to ready a feast for the occasion.
30:55He is here but a few days.
30:57Of course we are.
30:59Do not worry, my love.
31:00I will be with you every step of the way.
31:03But for now, I will be with you every step of the way.
31:03Now there is much to do.
31:08The matter that we discussed earlier.
31:12I ask that we keep it to ourselves.
31:14They don't want your father to know?
31:17No.
31:19Or the boys.
31:21Just let them grow up and become who they're meant to be.
31:24And then we'll revisit.
31:50I have seen brothers strive.
31:52But not before they had names.
31:55So it must have been difficult on you.
31:57Worth every moment.
32:01His spirit is strong.
32:04You wouldn't think they're the same age.
32:08Esau's firstborn.
32:10Yes, I can tell.
32:11It's good you have broad shoulders, child.
32:14A great weight will be on them in time.
32:18And this one.
32:21Jacob's clever, you can tell.
32:24Always thinking.
32:25He's destined for great things, I think.
32:29Time won't tell.
32:33The angel of God blesses them both.
32:43It will allow you to pull the water to the surface in half the time.
32:49Jacob may be the brightest amongst us.
32:51And a few handslips.
32:55If you spent more time with him, you'd see for yourself.
32:58It'll catch on this latch.
33:00Here.
33:01You think I don't see him?
33:02I think you're easily distracted.
33:06Yeah!
33:06Yeah!
33:09Yeah!
33:10Yeah!
33:11Yeah!
33:14Yeah!
33:15Yeah!
33:16Yeah!
33:16Yeah!
33:16Yeah!
33:18Brother!
33:19We shall feast on your favourite stew tonight.
33:22Make sure to draw enough for everybody in camp.
33:28I see him.
33:30He is Optimus.
33:50Is that all that's left?
33:52Have you not eaten?
33:53Kills do not cut themselves.
33:55I've been at it since returning from the hunt.
33:58Shame.
33:59It's quite good.
34:01Give it to me.
34:02You're not the only one who's hungry.
34:04You wouldn't have any if it weren't for me.
34:08Buy it from me.
34:10Don't be a child.
34:15What do you want for it?
34:18Sell me your birthright.
34:21Have you been drinking father's wine?
34:28Fine.
34:29I don't want it anyway.
34:31The stew were your birthright.
34:53Boys being boys.
34:54You deceive yourself.
34:56You refuse to see what's right in front of you.
34:58And you refuse to listen.
35:00Rebecca, I will not revisit this conversation.
35:03Esau is the firstborn.
35:04By choice of the midwives delivering him.
35:06Nothing more.
35:07You favour Jacob.
35:08Fine.
35:10But you cannot usurp what is Esau's by birthright.
35:13So says the second born heir.
35:16Ishmael is your elder by years.
35:18Esau by only moments.
35:19And yet somehow God's will has bearing in one instance and not the other.
35:24God's will.
35:27Is that what this is about?
35:30Because he spoke to me and not you.
35:34Be careful.
35:37Believe me.
35:39My love, I'd much rather he'd spoken to you.
35:43Every day I'm forced to look at our boys knowing God values one more than the other.
35:46Do you think I want this?
35:48It is a burden.
35:49And one I desperately wish I wasn't alone in carrying.
35:53I love Esau.
35:55Dearly.
35:57He provides like no other, but he is reckless.
36:01Do you know that two nights ago I saw a servant leave his tent?
36:05Barely dressed.
36:07He will get himself in trouble in short order.
36:10Do you make all these leaps to support your argument?
36:13No, Isaac.
36:14Esau's headstrong and decisive.
36:17We mustn't mistake confidence for competence.
36:22The future of your nation is at stake.
36:24How do I make you understand, all right?
36:27I've lived this.
36:28I've lived the result.
36:32If we go against the natural order of things, we will lose them both.
36:38Please, swear to me.
36:41Swear to me.
36:42You will never mention this to either of them.
36:45You said there would come a time.
36:47Rebecca!
36:49Forgive me.
36:51I've come with word.
36:52What is it?
36:54There's no more sign.
36:56He's dying.
37:07The great man lies dying.
37:12Would that he will give me the courage.
37:15The courage to follow God's will.
37:26Welcome.
37:28He is weak.
37:29But he will be gladdened to see you.
37:39What happens next?
37:42The blessing carries the weight of your grandfather's covenant with God.
37:46They are not merely words.
37:48You understand?
37:49You understand?
37:56I never understood.
38:00In truth, neither did I.
38:04But I loved you so.
38:07I am proud of you and the man you've become.
38:23Isaac.
38:25Unite her households.
38:31Look after my people.
38:36As if they were your own.
38:38I shall.
38:40son.
38:49May your descendants be as numerous as the stars and the sand.
38:54All the nations of the earth shall be blessed by them.
39:01When you obey his command, my covenant with God passes to you.
39:08Valentina.
39:08But Iain.
39:09Iain.
39:15Iain.
39:29O.
39:29He breathes water.
39:30It is in alright to you?
39:31Iain.
39:31Move.
39:32Iain.
39:33No way.
39:33They got out of trust.
39:34Don was ihr who world are not?
39:34Iain.
39:36Do it sometimes.
40:09God bless and keep you, Father.
40:22Fear and doubt plague Esau.
40:26God has told me.
40:30It is Jacob who must lead nations.
40:36You must see it all.
41:04Amen.
