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.
00:00:48Hey 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.
00:01:19Zephyr?
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 promise, love.
00:01:54One day yours will reveal itself too.
00:02:01Yes!
00:02:17Rebecca.
00:02:18Keep an eye on your grandmother for a moment.
00:02:20We need some new shears.
00:02:34He thinks I need a nurse, mage.
00:02:40Look at this color.
00:02:45It matches your eyes.
00:02:53What's the matter?
00:02:55I think I...
00:02:57I 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 Haran.
00:03:10When 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.
00:03:32To leave 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.
00:03:40Then what will you miss if you stay?
00:03:43You have an audience.
00:03:45Men interest you?
00:03:48I've known them all my life.
00:03:51Your father's receiving offers.
00:03:52He may ask you to choose.
00:03:55I won't settle out of fear.
00:03:57Hello.
00:03:59Certainly not for three goats in the middle.
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.
00:04:31You 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.
00:05:08Poor things, I'll draw water for them as well.
00:05:12Tell me whose daughter you are.
00:05:14I'm the daughter of Bethuel, son of Milcah and Nahor.
00:05:18Blessed be the Lord.
00:05:20You must lead 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.
00:05:38Show him my hospitality.
00:05:44Eliezer, did my sister Sarah ever have the child she yearned for?
00:05:48She did.
00:05:49In fact, her son is the reason of my errand.
00:05:52Abram 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,
00:06:06she'd be the one I was meant to find.
00:06:08For what purpose?
00:06:11To take her to Canaan,
00:06:13so 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 serpent spoke up.
00:06:37I saw him, even as he did not.
00:06:39My whole life, I'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,
00:06:51and 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...
00:07:12I don't need ten days.
00:07:14I'll go with him.
00:07:16Are you sure?
00:07:19You 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.
00:08:07Or...
00:08:17Oh, no.
00:08:18Oh, 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.
00:08:46It's like it's just this new everything.
00:08:52You have your husband to lean on as well.
00:08:57It's a good name.
00:08:59Isaac.
00:09:00Means laughter.
00:09:03He could be funny.
00:09:05Funny looking.
00:09:35This is your betrothed, Isaac, son of Abraham.
00:09:44Come, I'll announce you.
00:09:54Who's this?
00:09:55Your 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.
00:10:06He's meddling again when he thinks of no one himself.
00:10:09Sorry.
00:10:10Forgive me.
00:10:11I 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...
00:10:18where was she came from?
00:10:20It's nearly night.
00:10:24Fine.
00:10:24In 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, um...
00:10:54Sorry, I didn't get your name.
00:10:59Now he invades my privacy.
00:11:01What do you want?
00:11:03I've wired over 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?
00:11:18He left.
00:11:19Left?
00:11:21Yes, uh, this morning, first light, he went to Beersheba, my father's household.
00:11:27How long will it take, then?
00:11:29Several days, maybe more.
00:11:31Of course.
00:11:32Why stem the embarrassment?
00:11:33We can linger in it a little longer.
00:11:35Uh, it was never my intention to offend.
00:11:38I just, uh...
00:11:40I 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.
00:11:49My 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.
00:12:02Are you hungry?
00:12:03I have food, I could...
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, your grandmother's own account, Abraham is the finest of it.
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, it's a bauble, really.
00:13:22But it's a peace offering.
00:13:34Oh, you.
00:13:46It's beautiful.
00:13:47I find threading the beads strangely calming.
00:13:52That's something I love from 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 need its eyes to fight me.
00:14:24You could use its nose.
00:14:27And it's here.
00:14:29And it's...
00:14:31I've got you.
00:14:34I saw your face.
00:14:35I'm very scared.
00:14:39And you, you were the most scared out of everyone.
00:14:43They say our escort arrives tomorrow.
00:14:50So we'll be home soon.
00:14:53If that's what you want.
00:15:11I'll be home soon.
00:15:20I 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?
00:15:35Hmm.
00:15:36Of course.
00:15:37Were you unhappy in Iran?
00:15:41No.
00:15:42Why leave your home to marry...
00:15:44...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...
00:16:06...too 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.
00:16:16Only 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,
00:16:43where 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...
00:17:02...sorrow.
00:17:07And that's when I realized...
00:17:11...I was the sacrifice.
00:17:14The 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...
00:17:30...it was not his to withhold.
00:17:32I don't know how I can love him and...
00:17:35...hate him in...
00:17:37...you'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.
00:17:52There was a sacrifice in my place.
00:17:55It seemed so calm.
00:17:58As if it was...
00:18:00...exactly 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...
00:18:15...your father brought no...
00:18:16...no offering.
00:18:17It's as if it appeared from nowhere.
00:18:19Like it dropped out of the sky.
00:18:21Which was...
00:18:23That was so strange that day.
00:18:25The clouds were...
00:18:27...roiling 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.
00:18:45I just...
00:18:46When I was a girl, I raised a lamb.
00:18:49He had one blue iron, 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.
00:19:12So...
00:19:12I would remember that day.
00:19:24Zephyr.
00:19:28My 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 toss and turn like this.
00:20:32Something's distressing him.
00:20:34What if the midwife missed something?
00:20:35Or it's beyond her understanding.
00:20:37Only God may know.
00:20:39I don't inquire it in myself.
00:20:48I beseech you, Lord.
00:20:51Tell me why my womb fights with itself.
00:20:54What troubles my unborn child.
00:21:00What is his fate?
00:21:04I beg you, my Lord.
00:21:18I beg you, my Lord.
00:21:21Rebecca.
00:21:36Too few to take.
00:21:38Sounds like a storm's growing.
00:21:51Rebecca?
00:21:52Rebecca?
00:22:09Rebecca!
00:22:13Rebecca!
00:22:19Rebecca!
00:22:21Rebecca!
00:22:26Rebecca!
00:22:28Rebecca!
00:22:31Rebecca.
00:22:32Are you alright?
00:22:33You're not hurt.
00:22:34I'm fine.
00:22:35I'm fine.
00:22:36I need to get him inside.
00:22:39Isaac.
00:22:40Isaac.
00:22:42He spoke to me.
00:22:45He spoke to me.
00:22:47No.
00:22:48No.
00:22:48He spoke to me.
00:22:49No.
00:22:50No.
00:22:51No.
00:22:51No.
00:22:51No.
00:22:51No.
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 lord.
00:23:06I did hear him.
00:23:08I swear it.
00:23:09I still feel his words in my bones.
00:23:12My father's God.
00:23:14Yes.
00:23:17What did he say?
00:23:20That we're to have two sons.
00:23:24Twins?
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.
00:23:44As the 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.
00:24:09It is time.
00:24:24Oh, he wants her.
00:24:28I need to cleanse my time to his brother.
00:24:30No!
00:24:33No!
00:24:34No!
00:24:35No!
00:24:35No!
00:24:35No!
00:24:36No!
00:24:36No!
00:24:37No!
00:24:37No!
00:24:38No!
00:24:39No!
00:24:42No!
00:24:43The second one announces himself.
00:24:45Hush, mistress!
00:24:47No!
00:24:49No!
00:24:51No!
00:24:52No!
00:24:54No!
00:24:55No!
00:24:56No!
00:24:57No!
00:24:58No!
00:25:02He'll need extra attention, this one.
00:25:22Hello.
00:25:25Hello.
00:25:31Look at his head.
00:25:35Esau.
00:25:37Surely his name has to be Esau.
00:25:44Which is firstborn?
00:25:46The one you hold.
00:25:55And this shall be Jacob.
00:25:58Mine is a lamb.
00:26:04Look, look, look, look, look, look.
00:26:06Look at you, he's so, so strong.
00:26:08Look at you.
00:26:09Look at you.
00:26:11You're going to be a hunter like no other.
00:26:13I know it.
00:26:14I'll take Jacob for you.
00:26:18There we are.
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?
00:26:38It's God's divine.
00:26:41Well, no, we don't need to talk about that now.
00:26:45Then when?
00:26:47What?
00:26:55Well, he is it.
00:26:58What's all this?
00:26:59What's 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's here but a few days.
00:27:09Of course 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 now, it is going to start here.
00:27:23I ask that we keep it to ourselves.
00:27:26They don't want your father to know?
00:27:29No.
00:27:30All the boys.
00:27:32Just let them grow up and become who they're 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.
00:28:07Worth every moment.
00:28:09But his 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.
00:28:22A great weight will be on you in time.
00:28:27And this one.
00:28:29Jacob's clever, you can tell.
00:28:32Always thinking.
00:28:34He's destined 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.
00:29:02If you spent more time with him, you'd see for yourself.
00:29:04It'll catch on this latch.
00:29:06You're 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 favourite stew tonight.
00:29:27Make sure to draw enough for everybody in camp.
00:29:33I see him.
00:29:35Mm-hmm.
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.
00:30:08You 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?
00:30:26I mean...
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...
00:31:19God'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.
00:31:29God's will.
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.
00:31:51Dearly.
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?
00:32:21I'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've come with word.
00:32:46What is it?
00:32:47What is it?
00:32:47Your father.
00:32:48There's a mercy 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.
00:33:51In truth, neither did I.
00:33:54But I loved you so.
00:33:57I'm proud of you and the man you've become.
00:34:12Isaac, unite our households.
00:34:20Look after my people.
00:34:25As if they were your girl.
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.
00:34:54Amen.
00:34:57Amen.
00:35:03Amen.
00:35:09Amen.
00:35:13Amen.
00:35:15Amen.
00:35:17Amen.
00:35:18Amen.
00:35:19Amen.
00:35:19Amen.
00:35:19Amen.
00:35:19Amen.
00:35:21Amen.
00:35:53God bless and keep you, Father.
00:36:06Fear and doubt plague Esau.
00:36:10God has told me.
00:36:13It is Jacob who must lead nations.
00:36:19You must see it all.
00:36:22Fear and doubt plague Esau.
00:36:46Have you come to join the hunt, brother?
00:36:50Simon, 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.
00:37:14We will be back to camp.
00:37:16Now we'll 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.
00:37:30Win or take, Zora?
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!
00:37:59Come on!
00:38:01Come on!
00:38:01Yeah!
00:38:02You'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.
00:38:16Try and keep up, brother.
00:38:17Yeah!
00:38:17I was hoping for a race.
00:38:20Yeah!
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, we are protected.
00:38:36We 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, or will we splinter and languish alone?
00:38:53Draw your waters.
00:38:55And if you cannot find common ground, I'll leave you both with none.
00:39:00Don't choose.
00:39:03Yes!
00:39:07Yes!
00:39:08Yes!
00:39:10I win again, brother!
00:39:14Please, please.
00:39:15You must hear 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, but not unreasonable.
00:39:26I have had plenty of dealings with them.
00:39:28Father, you 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.
00:39:39Yeah.
00:39:39I found her by the glen.
00:39:41We'll feast for days, Father.
00:39:44You fetched him, didn't you?
00:39:46It shouldn't be my responsibility to 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, as is mine.
00:40:04It matters.
00:40:12It matters my age, Jane.
00:40:22Esau.
00:40:23He's stepping into the role.
00:40:25We must support him, both 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 at 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's left, help!
00:41:20It's Ingo!
00:41:20He's hard!
00:41:21Isaac.
00:41:22Isaac.
00:41:23Isaac.
00:41:23Isaac.
00:41:30He's up.
00:41:31That's not what happened.
00:41:33Help!
00:41:37Isaac.
00:41:38Can 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 this over a while.
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.
00:42:32In 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 now is pregnant with you.
00:43:01God's not.
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.
00:43:22But he 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 when I look upon you, what God sees.
00:43:43Then I must prove it to him.
00:43:46Show him.
00:43:48I will go to the Hittites and 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?
00:44:16Mighty 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 rights.
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?
00:45:03You 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!
00:45:18And Jacob.
00:45:20The 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 you to the preparations.
00:45:55Rebecca.
00:46:00You put him up to this.
00:46:02You think I don't see him, but I 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.
00:46:54Here.
00:46:55I appreciate your hospitality.
00:46:56Please feel free to make the most of it.
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.
00:47:08Is 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.
00:47:17Esau defiles my daughter and sends his brother to make amends.
00:47:21You're a coward.
00:47:22He is a 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.
00:47:35You do my final, or I will finish what we started at the well.
00:47:42Stop this! Please, stop this!
00:48:13It's done. He'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.
00:48:34Don't just stand there. Go. Apologize to your betrothed.
00:48:59He's hungry.
00:49:01His cries all sound the same. How do you know?
00:49:04It comes with time, young lad.
00:49:11He needs to eat, my love.
00:49:13Oh, so do I.
00:49:17Your father's unwell. You 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. This is not what my grandfather would have wanted.
00:49:42If Israel tolerates them, it's almost you.
00:49:49You have to listen to me.
00:49:50I'm respectful. It's no business of hers what happens in my tent.
00:49:53My children hear them. They're not even married.
00:49:56Enough of this nonsense. Leave.
00:50:05These idols are all over the camp. They 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. Act like it, both of you.
00:50:31Yes, little brother. Do you know your place?
00:50:35That is my place.
00:50:39Jacob.
00:50:40Go on. Tell him.
00:50:44You shouldn't be out of bed.
00:50:47No, 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 set my peace and you defied me.
00:51:00As you defied God.
00:51:07Isaac.
00:51:09Isaac, speak to me.
00:51:11I can't... I 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.
00:51:33It 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.
00:51:47But you must plan as if he won't.
00:51:53This is our fault.
00:51:56He has been sick for some time.
00:52:00But 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 make honor and glory to your name.
00:52:41I'm here.
00:52:42I'm here, my love.
00:52:42I'm here.
00:52:43I'm here.
00:52:44I'm here.
00:52:47Is it mine?
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.
00:53:04Esau.
00:53:10I'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 the blessing.
00:53:41And the angel of God came down to Abraham a second time.
00:53:45And said, you 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 womb.
00:54:00We must get to him first.
00:54:03You want me to receive the blessing in Esau's stead?
00:54:06Without his 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 thank you before it's too late.
00:54:27What if I bring upon myself a curse instead of a blessing?
00:54:31You let it be my curse.
00:54:35I love your father and your brother both.
00:54:38You think I'd suggest such a thing if I saw another way?
00:54:42Go to the flock.
00:54:43I bet you wouldn't get first, do you?
00:54:46Go.
00:54:47Hurry.
00:55:18Go.
00:55:20Go.
00:55:25Go.
00:55:27Go.
00:55:44Let's go.
00:55:59Let's go.
00:56:36Esau, I've done as you asked.
00:56:40Bring him to me.
00:56:58Esau, let me eat of your game so that I may bless you.
00:57:28Come, Nera, 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.
00:57:59May God bless you and nations bow down for you.
00:58:17May God bless you and nations bow down for you.
00:58:29May God bless you and nations bow down for you.
00:58:29May God bless you and nations bow down for you.
00:58:53Father, I've done exactly as you asked.
00:59:07Father, I've done exactly as you asked.
00:59:33Father, I've done exactly as you asked.
00:59:34Help 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.
00:59:49Please, 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, then you too are blind.
01:00:22Esau is the heir.
01:00:24Now, Draco holds the covenant.
01:00:29Neither are home.
01:00:34You deceived me.
01:00:37And you condemned the Lord.
01:00:50I don't need your judgment, daughter.
01:00:54Add my fill.
01:01:00Esau and I, our beginning was not ideal, but 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.
01:01:40I love you.
01:01:46Go.
01:01:50Go.
01:01:54Go.
01:02:15All those who seek miracles, fear not, you godless champion, has arrived.
01:02:25You sit in my stead. Where's father?
01:02:28You're late, and you're drunk.
01:02:31Ah, well, 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.
01:02:43Did he?
01:02:45Many wait on you, Esau.
01:02:47Perhaps it's best to get through this without distraction.
01:02:50Fine.
01:02:52Go.
01:02:59Are you getting enough rest?
01:03:02The new baby is...
01:03:05Spirited.
01:03:21You brought me back from the dead.
01:03:24For me, you'd have to resent 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.
01:03:49And?
01:03:51What have you arrived at?
01:03:57I'm as responsible as you are.
01:03:59I'm as responsible as you are.
01:04:05Hmm.
01:04:15Standing my ground is tearing us all apart.
01:04:20My beloved husband is fading away.
01:04:27Jacob is lost to me.
01:04:30In exile.
01:04:35I question whether my purpose is worth the cost.
01:04:42And Esau is weak and diminished.
01:04:51And this is my doing.
01:04:57I hate to seem like this.
01:05:13I do love you.
01:05:19I hope you're not bad.
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 are wise.
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 here.
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 coming home.
01:06:47Oh.
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 know he 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.
01:07:16Even if you did.
01:07:18I 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.
01:08:05Please, Esau.
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 mentioned!
01:08:18Hasn't it, Mother?
01:08:26Breathe!
01:08:27God.
01:08:33Word is, he travels in numbers.
01:08:36There 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.
01:09:09There are women and children.
01:09:10Take back what he believes.
01:09:11A distraction.
01:09:12Nothing more.
01:09:13All right.
01:09:29All right.
01:09:32All right.
01:09:38I don't know.
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, it is your right.
01:10:55I'm not here to fight.
01:11:20I'm not here to fight.
01:11:27I don't know.
01:11:54Oh, it's good to see you, brother.
01:12:16They say you'll step aside?
01:12:18Yes.
01:12:22How do you feel?
01:12:37Free.
01:12:40Free.
01:12:52Where are you going?
01:13:00The hunter.
01:13:15Oh, God.
01:13:17Oh, God.
01:13:17Oh, God.
01:13:29Oh, God.
01:13:40I didn't think I would be here if it ever came to pass.
01:13:45We're to meet his family, his children.
01:13:51God has truly missed us this day.
01:14:02If you'll excuse me, my love, I'll see you about tonight.
01:14:08It was you, wasn't it?
01:14:12Don't deny it. I know what you're capable of.
01:14:14I needn't explain myself to you.
01:14:16If Jacob's intentions were different, if he meant Esau harm, then you would have left my husband defenseless.
01:14:22What's right and what's fair do not always coincide.
01:14:25No. You chose one son over the other.
01:14:29Esau harm was not a choice.
01:14:31It's what had to be done.
01:14:35Well, I hope you can live with yourself.
01:14:37I'm not sure I could.
01:14:47I don't expect anyone to understand.
01:14:51But I've done my best to be your servant.
01:14:56If I've transgressed, I hope you'll forgive me.
01:15:00It's taken so long, cost so much, that 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, today I have this.
01:15:24And I shall revel in it.
01:15:26I'll see you tomorrow.
01:15:26I'll see you tomorrow.
01:15:26It's time to be.
01:15:27However, I shall beaniu.
01:15:27I'll still be I'll see you tomorrow.
