00:17I
00:18Know I know
00:19Baby is the fruit of your sister's deception, but here we are. No, no, it's not the babes fault. I
00:26shall still be a loving aunt
00:31That's my son
00:33The hearty arrival into this world
00:35If you're staying away from me, you don't have to. This is important
00:40You're certain?
00:41Yes
00:42Don't be a father
00:43Yeah
00:45Yeah
00:47Yeah
00:49Yeah
00:50Yeah
00:52Oh my god
00:55It's
00:57It's
00:58His name's Reuben
01:01Reuben
01:12Reuben
01:13It's the happiest day of my life.
01:32Jacob promised Rachel that nothing would alter their love or life together.
01:36You'd be good for your mother.
01:38But my life was realized the moment our child was born.
01:43My dreams came into focus.
01:46As hers began to fade, I felt her pain.
02:05Hour by hour, day by day, Jacob and I spun towards one another.
02:11Until we were one.
02:27Lord, bless my son, Reuben, on his first birthday.
02:33Make him strong.
02:35To live a life in your service.
02:46Oh, what a talent, eh?
02:51What are you making?
02:52A toy for Reuben.
02:54Oh, that's most kind, sister.
02:56Well, it must be hard to see Jacob and Leia's closeness.
02:59Yes, they are looking quite the happy little family.
03:01I've hardly noticed.
03:03Besides, they have a child together.
03:05It's impossible for them to not share a closeness.
03:07But it's me, Jacob loves.
03:08It's my time to spend his nights.
03:11She's getting rather testy.
03:13Perhaps our monthly friend is visiting.
03:15Move away.
03:16Move away!
03:19Oh, here.
03:20I call upon my household gods to bless my beautiful grandchild.
03:26And I bought one for you to place upon your hearth.
03:32And Reuben has been blessed already by Jacob's God, the Lord himself.
03:38Your daughter understands.
03:40My God is very important to me.
03:42Our God.
03:44And I believe in him too.
03:47Yes.
03:49Our God.
03:51And my descendants shall continue in our faith.
03:57These are so gods who handed down to me from my father to his father before that.
04:03Please don't take offence.
04:05I know you mean well.
04:13How can I take offence when you have given me the most perfect grandchild?
04:19He has brought so much joy to my life.
04:26Clever, Reuben.
04:28You'll be playing with us next.
04:31Here, Reuben.
04:36Good boy.
04:37You won't be gone too long?
04:40Only a few weeks, that's how you imagine.
04:43There's quite a handful of merchants to trade with along the main road who have interest in our wall.
04:48I hope your brothers and the shepherds you're traveling with keep you safe.
04:51I would come, were it not for Reuben.
04:57I was thinking, when I return, it might be high time for me to focus my efforts less on family
05:06business and more on starting family with you.
05:09Yes.
05:09You do need to move faster if you're to bear my next eleven children.
05:13Yes, your magical twelve.
05:19Gah!
05:25no no no.
05:26So fun.
05:28Goodnight.
05:39Like little stars.
05:42Mm hmm.
05:43Reminds me of the vision I had on my way to Haran when I saw the angels.
05:49They were far away, ethereal, difficult to behold with the eye, but at the same time bright and beautiful.
06:00I wish I could have seen it.
06:04I remember when you told us that story the first time we met.
06:07I was so impressed that God himself had spoken to you.
06:15I haven't heard the Lord's voice in a long time, but I often reach out to the memory of that
06:21vision in difficult moments.
06:24You're a man of deep faith.
06:26It's what drew me to you.
06:34I've lost track of time. I should leave.
06:36Must you?
06:39You know Rachel wouldn't appreciate me tarrying in your tent.
06:42Playing family with you, spending time together, our late night conversations.
06:51Sometimes I wonder if you might not love me too.
06:58Leah, it's not what you think.
07:00I love the life that you have given me.
07:06Should that not be enough?
07:21Husband, miss me?
07:23I have no idea.
07:26Let's go make a baby then.
07:43Two cycles and still not pregnant.
07:46Guess we'll have to keep trying.
07:49I guess we'll have to keep trying.
07:52What?
07:55There's no pleasant way to tell you this.
07:59But when you were gone a few months ago, I spent a night with your sister.
08:04And now she's pregnant.
08:30Are you ever going to forgive me?
08:35It's been a week, Rachel.
08:36You've hardly said two words to me.
08:37Do you think that's sufficient time to stop being angry when I'm to be cruelly reminded
08:42for the next nine months of your indiscretion every time I look at Leah's swollen belly?
08:46It is not an indiscretion.
08:48Leah is also my wife.
08:49This is not what we agreed on.
08:51Or the agreement to act as if Leah isn't a part of this family?
08:53It doesn't work.
08:55You are the love of my life, Rachel.
08:58It hurts me to hurt you.
09:01But the truth is I care for Leah too.
09:03She is the mother of my child.
09:06Soon to be children.
09:07Now she must have manipulated you.
09:09Fallen into your arms.
09:11Sobbing over her loneliness.
09:13Going out of a high point of her.
09:14She has rights too as my wife.
09:16And I can no longer pretend that she doesn't exist.
09:18Or that we are not truly married when we share so many intimate moments together as parents.
09:23You can't possibly understand.
09:24Why won't I understand?
09:26Because I'm not a mother.
09:34What are you doing?
09:35There's only one way to fix this problem.
09:37I clearly have a lot of catching up to do.
10:03With each child born to Jacob and I, my life grew fuller and fuller.
10:08I had everything Rachel wanted.
10:10My sister was always strong, sure, unshakable.
10:19But she was bending under the weight of disappointment.
10:28Ruben, will you come help me in the kitchen?
10:32And one can only bend so much before one breaks.
11:03What is it?
11:05What's wrong?
11:09Jacob, please give me children or I shall die.
11:13It's been six years.
11:15I can't bear it any longer.
11:18We're trying everything we can.
11:21I want this so badly too.
11:22Do you?
11:23You seem perfectly content to have an entire brood of my sister's children.
11:27How can you say such a thing?
11:29I am desperate to have a child with you.
11:32But am I in the place of God who has chosen to deny you a babe?
11:36No, you're the one who has denied me a chance to catch up with Leia.
11:39It is painful enough that you can't stop sleeping with my sister.
11:42But she seems to become pregnant when you even cast an eye upon her.
11:46You asked for twelve children.
11:47You already have eight and none of them are by me.
11:50Then tell me, Rachel.
11:52What would you have me do?
11:56Stop bedding my sister or I will stop bedding you.
12:02The serpent approached Eve and told her to eat of the fruit of knowledge.
12:08That her eyes shall open and she'll know good from evil.
12:16But I must leave you in suspense.
12:18It is time for sleep.
12:24Come on, my sons.
12:28My bed grows cold these days, husband.
12:31Keep me company tonight.
12:33I would, but I can't.
12:36Your sister had me swear that I would no longer visit your tent.
12:41Be patient, ma'am.
12:56Look what Reuben found, sister.
13:01Are those mandrakes?
13:02Yes.
13:03It is said that mandrake roots, when made into a tea, can help those struggling to conceive.
13:08I've heard of such a rare root.
13:11Give it here.
13:13I see.
13:14You're after something.
13:17What will you have in exchange, then?
13:20One night with Jacob.
13:23You want me to trade Jacob for your son's mandrakes?
13:27What's one night for something that could give you the babe that you've wanted above all else?
13:37Fine.
13:38One night.
13:44Hello, husband.
13:47Don't be alarmed.
13:51Rachel knows.
13:52She and I made an arrangement.
14:13Sister, I must speak with you.
14:17Oh, I'm not quite sure how to say this.
14:22I am with child again.
14:26Again.
14:28And you won.
14:31Another babe.
14:35My little gamble with the mandrakes do not work so well for me.
14:40God favors you indeed.
14:42I'm sorry, I cannot imagine the pain that you must be in.
14:47Please, don't pretend to feel sorry for me.
14:50I know my failures must be a great joy to you.
14:52They are not.
14:54I have born Jacob with many children.
14:58I am content.
14:59Being a mother of a large family is all I've wanted for a long time.
15:03How wonderful for you.
15:05My dear sister, I have had quite enough of this rivalry over the years.
15:12This child shall be my last.
15:17Your last?
15:20Really?
15:22Yes, Rachel.
15:25I love you.
15:27Despite everything.
15:30Two sisters, one heart.
15:33Remember?
15:36I wish to see your desires come to fruition, too.
15:39I want to see you happy.
15:49Sister.
15:51I don't know if it's possible for me to be with a child.
15:54We've tried for so long.
15:57Well, then let me help.
15:59Woman to woman.
16:02I may have given Jacob his firstborn,
16:05but perhaps you could give him his youngest.
16:08A child that would be just as special in his own way.
16:21You've always been self-reliant.
16:23A practical woman.
16:25And you have made your way so far on reason and resilience.
16:31But sometimes don't you feel that there are things on this earth that cannot be explained by logic alone?
16:40More and more, he says.
16:43We must accept that not everything can be within our control, sister.
16:49The faith in something godly out there, that's...
16:53That's what gives me hope.
16:57Come.
16:58Shall we pray?
17:11Dear Lord,
17:12I pray for my sister,
17:15that you remember her,
17:17that you open her womb,
17:20giving her what she and your faithful servant Jacob have so long desired.
17:35Now the only thing to wish for is a healthy and easy pregnancy.
17:48She's looking very pale.
17:50Stay with us.
17:51Stay with us.
17:52The baby's nearly here.
17:53I'll fetch some fresh towels.
17:58How is she?
17:59She's doing the best that she can,
18:01but Jacob, our mother died giving birth to Rachel,
18:04and she seems to be experiencing similar difficulties.
18:07I can't lose her.
18:09I can't live without her.
18:11I know.
18:12Me neither.
18:17No!
18:20No!
18:27You did it!
18:28You did it!
18:30Rachel!
18:31Rachel, no!
18:32Please, God, no!
18:34Sister!
18:36Sister!
18:47Thank God!
18:49Thank God!
18:55My youngest son, Joseph.
18:59Now, this is the happiest day of my life.
19:08Come on.
19:09Let's go.
19:10Come on.
19:12I can't tell if Father's taking the news well.
19:15Is it a while to prepare himself?
19:17Jacob and I have always planned to leave for Canaan once we're married.
19:21I must say, I am worried.
19:22You're always worried.
19:24But is it safe?
19:25What about Jacob's brother who wanted to kill him?
19:27Has his anger been assuaged?
19:29He could be putting our lives in danger,
19:31our family's lives in danger,
19:34and leaving our home and everything we've ever known with nothing.
19:38I would never let us leave with nothing.
19:41I told Jacob to negotiate with the Father.
19:43I've built this family's fortune sheep by sheep,
19:46and they're deserving of our share.
19:47As for Jacob's family,
19:49as you've taught me once,
19:51sister,
19:52let me now be the one to remind you.
19:54We must have faith.
19:57We've spoken,
19:58and your father has been quite accommodating.
20:02I must say,
20:05it's going to be very hard
20:07to part with my beloved daughters,
20:09and frankly, a tragedy.
20:13We've been left at home alone
20:14with those two.
20:18He has even been generous enough
20:20to offer some of the flock.
20:22Really?
20:23Yes, of course.
20:24I am very well aware
20:25that I have only been blessed with good fortune
20:27because of you and Jacob.
20:29So I would like you
20:31to go to the flock
20:32and separate out both the speckled
20:34and the spotted sheep
20:36and have them for yourselves.
20:38That's a tenth of the herd.
20:41That is generous.
20:43Speak nothing of it, huh?
20:45What kind of father would I be
20:46if I did not set
20:47my children up for success?
20:50Now, here, look.
20:56How was this?
20:58Say that guy.
21:00He looks...
21:03I don't see a single
21:05black or speckled sheep.
21:07No, neither do I.
21:10We did as you said, father.
21:12We separated all the spotted sheep.
21:14And hid them away.
21:15Rachel and Jacob
21:16will never find them.
21:17Good.
21:18And they won't be taking anything
21:19that is rightfully ours.
21:21With nothing to their name,
21:23I suspect they won't be leaving Haran either.
21:25My father tricked us.
21:27We can't let him win.
21:28We were right to that flock.
21:30I shall go to him and speak true.
21:32That will get us nowhere.
21:33We can't prove anything,
21:34and if we accuse him now,
21:36he'll simply come up with another trick.
21:38Then we must bide our time,
21:40regrow the flock,
21:40and trick him right back.
21:41But how are we going to rebuild the flock
21:43without any black or speckled sheep
21:44to breed with?
21:45Besides,
21:46it took me nearly 20 years
21:48to go my father's herd.
21:49My love,
21:49I will find a way.
21:51I don't know how I am so certain,
21:53but I promise you,
21:54it will not take another 20 years.
21:58Remember,
21:58you taught me everything you know
22:00as the best shepherdess in Haran.
22:03Even the best shepherdess
22:05isn't capable of miracles.
22:07Trust me.
22:42Joseph, wait.
22:46Come, sister, come.
22:48Jacob,
22:49you have bred an entire flock
22:51out of thin air,
22:52and in only a handful of years.
22:54How?
22:55I took poplar,
22:56almond and plain,
22:57stripped back the bark
22:59to expose the white underneath,
23:00then put them in the trough,
23:02and set all the white sheep
23:04from your father's flock
23:05to drink from it.
23:06And when they would breed,
23:07all of the lambs
23:08were spotted and speckled.
23:09An unusual methodology,
23:11is it not?
23:12I'd never heard of it.
23:13It was as if I woke up
23:14one morning and just knew.
23:16I believe it was God.
23:18He favored us.
23:20You've come a long way
23:21from the man who hardly knew
23:22how to milk a cow.
23:24Now that we have our own flock,
23:26how will we take them with us?
23:28Father will never allow it.
23:31That is why we cannot
23:32tell your father.
23:35We all just sneak away
23:36without even saying goodbye.
23:37Yes, sister.
23:39We must slip away in the night.
23:58Father, they're gone.
24:00Father, they're gone.
24:01No, who's gone?
24:03Take a blame, Rachel.
24:04And all of their children
24:05and the entire camp,
24:06the whole place is empty.
24:08And they've made off
24:10with half of our flock.
24:11All the black and spotted sheep.
24:12Leaving us with a very small
24:14and weak herd.
24:15They profited off of us.
24:16They fooled us,
24:18took women's hours
24:18right out from under us.
24:19No, they tricked me!
24:24Their own father!
24:27Man, you go to town.
24:30Gather up your men.
24:30We will give chase
24:32and take everything back
24:33by force, if necessary.
24:35Go!
24:36Get your men!
24:36Go!
24:37Go!
24:37Go!
25:10Why are father's idols
25:11hidden in your saddle?
25:14I snuck into his camp
25:16before we left
25:17and I stoke them.
25:18Why?
25:19Our father and brothers
25:20will have discovered
25:20our absence by now
25:21and are surely giving chase.
25:23When they catch us
25:24and they will catch us,
25:25they'll seize our flocks
25:26and send us away empty-handed.
25:28I can't let that happen.
25:30Father is so very attached
25:32to the idols
25:33and our brothers want them
25:34for themselves.
25:34This will only antagonize them.
25:36That's exactly
25:37what I'm counting on.
25:39Just trust me.
25:41We need a contingency plan
25:42and this is it.
25:47And say nothing
25:48of this to Jacob.
26:17Jacob, you're left
26:19without saying a word.
26:21You think it's right
26:23to take away
26:24a man's daughters
26:25like captives
26:26of the sword
26:26in the night?
26:27You are here
26:28to take
26:28what is rightfully ours.
26:30How can you say this?
26:32You are the one
26:32that cheated me!
26:33If you're speaking
26:34of our herd,
26:35then we have a right
26:36to every creature
26:36that we've taken.
26:37I don't think
26:38your brothers
26:39or our men
26:40are going to agree
26:40with that.
26:41And besides,
26:42there is also
26:43the matter
26:43of the household idols.
26:45You do know,
26:47don't you,
26:47that it is
26:48a sinful offense
26:49to take a man's
26:50gods from him.
26:51Not to mention
26:51their familial significance.
26:53Those idols
26:53have always been held
26:54by the leader
26:55of our family.
26:56I have not taken
26:57your precious
26:57household gods.
26:58That would be
26:59a sin indeed.
27:00Oh, who did it then?
27:01I think you're
27:02nothing but
27:02a common thief.
27:04Search our belongings
27:05yourself.
27:06And if you find
27:08anyone here
27:08that has stolen
27:09your gods,
27:10I swear
27:11that they shall
27:12not live.
27:13Oh, I will hold
27:15you to that promise.
27:24Sister, I can hardly breathe
27:26if I go to find
27:27the gun and saddle.
27:28Search the test!
27:29I will hold
27:30the final crown!
27:36This is the last
27:37tent in the camp.
27:39It's mine and Rachel's.
27:40You won't find them here.
27:45There's nothing here,
27:47Father.
27:48The only place
27:49we haven't searched
27:50is your persons.
27:52Hmm?
27:53Up.
27:54I'm sorry,
27:56Father.
27:56Please don't be angry.
27:57But I cannot rise
27:59before you.
28:00The ways of women
28:01are upon me.
28:04Ah.
28:05Hmm.
28:05No, Father.
28:06We cannot touch her
28:08during her, um,
28:09lunations.
28:10It would be much
28:11too unpleasant.
28:12No.
28:12No matter.
28:14Because we will not
28:15be leaving
28:15before the idols
28:16turn up.
28:18In the meantime,
28:19my sons,
28:20round up the livestock.
28:21look.
28:23Come.
28:27Uh, brother,
28:28why don't I show you
28:29where the sheep are?
28:29You'd be hard-pressed
28:30to find them.
28:37I'm turning into
28:38a fine old morning.
28:41I slept rather well
28:42for a man on the road.
28:46Why are you all
28:47so glum?
28:50Oh, yeah,
28:50shouldn't there be
28:51some cheer
28:51when one is with family?
28:53Perhaps you would
28:54have more cheer, sir,
28:55if you had not
28:55overstayed your welcome.
28:57Father!
28:57Father!
28:58Yes.
28:59We were rounding up
29:00the livestock
29:00when Biham fell.
29:01There they were.
29:02The household idols
29:03tumbling out of his pocket.
29:04I never, I didn't,
29:05I never touched them.
29:05Look, I didn't.
29:08You're trying to set me up
29:08to look bad
29:09in Father's eyes.
29:10We all know
29:11you'd love to be named
29:11patriarch of this family
29:12and claim my
29:14rightful inheritance.
29:15I have every right
29:16to be the patriarch
29:17of this family
29:17if Father wishes
29:18to bequeath me
29:19the idols.
29:19I am the eldest son.
29:26I have every right,
29:28brother.
29:29You better run,
29:30brother,
29:30or you still can.
29:32I'm going to catch you.
29:34After that,
29:35I'm going to catch you.
29:36I'm back here.
29:39Take your horses.
29:41What did you say
29:43earlier, sir?
29:44That you'd be leaving
29:45once the idols were found?
29:49You framed our brother.
29:51You were right.
29:52It did antagonize him.
29:55Oh, sister,
29:56you saved our lives.
30:04We made the last
30:05of our long-anticipated journey
30:06to Jacob's home,
30:08to our new lives.
30:10I'd been afraid
30:11that family strife
30:12might greet us,
30:13that we'd be met
30:14with resentment,
30:16anger,
30:16and swords,
30:17what we found
30:18was reconciliation
30:20and forgiveness.
30:21Love with our new family
30:23and fresh purpose.
30:25Sister,
30:25can you believe it?
30:26Canaan?
30:27It's everything
30:28I've imagined.
30:30At last,
30:31we were home.
30:41Is that how you prevailed
30:43over the angel
30:44of the Lord,
30:44Father?
30:45It was, Joseph.
30:46We wrestled
30:47until the break of day
30:49when I finally prevailed.
30:51Though it did not come
30:52without pain,
30:53the man broke my hip,
30:55but still,
30:56I didn't let him go
30:57until he blessed me.
30:59Your father
31:00came face to face
31:01with God,
31:02who gave him
31:02his new name,
31:03Israel.
31:07Rachel and I
31:08were content in Canaan.
31:09Our sisterhood was strong
31:11and so was our family.
31:14But Jacob's dream
31:15of twelve sons
31:16never faded in my mind.
31:18I could not ignore
31:19the desire.
31:22And neither could she.
31:27Why do you have
31:28mandrakes?
31:29Are you trying to have
31:29another child?
31:31You are,
31:32aren't you?
31:33Leia,
31:34I've only ever
31:36been able to bear
31:37one child
31:38when I have
31:39always wanted
31:40several,
31:41but I was never
31:42blessed.
31:43Not like you.
31:45And you nearly
31:46passed the ways
31:47of women.
31:48If anyone should
31:49carry another child,
31:50it's me.
31:51Rachel,
31:52you nearly died
31:52giving birth to Joseph.
31:54You would be
31:55risking your life.
31:56You can't do it.
31:57I can
31:58and I shall.
32:00It would be
32:01worth the risk.
32:01Then we shall see
32:02who bears the
32:03twelfth son.
32:30I'm scared.
32:32I'm here.
32:33I'm here.
32:49I'm here.
33:07I'm not going to make it, Emily.
33:10Please, sister.
33:12Please stay with us.
33:15You were right.
33:17You told me it was too dangerous.
33:20To have another baby.
33:23Oh, I let my jealousy get the best of me.
33:28It will haunt me forever if this costs you your life.
33:35I played my part in this too.
33:39But I look at our beautiful family and my beautiful son.
33:45And I think it was all worth the sacrifice, wasn't it?
33:54Every tear and every painful moment.
33:59God has a destiny for us all.
34:05I love you.
34:08Two sisters, one heart.
34:27You promised me you'll raise my son as if you are your head.
34:32I promise.
34:35I promise.
34:41His name is Benjamin.
34:47My youngest and last, a child of sorrow, but also strength.
34:59I was much too short.
35:01Is it not, my love?
35:07I could have spent eternity with you.
35:18Rachel said God has a plan for each of us.
35:21And that sometimes, it would be far too great for us to understand.
35:27She was right.
35:49Benjamin was always bravenous.
35:52You could never feed that boy enough.
35:54I need to remove my arm before she tells that awful story again about how I became violently ill eating
35:58that cursed goat's medicine.
36:01You're supposed to tell stories that would make me more appealing to my soon-to-be wife, not less.
36:06Let me have my fun.
36:10Aunt, do you?
36:13Do you think Mother was watching over our marrying them?
36:17I'm sure of it.
36:19Nights like these, I can almost feel her here with us.
36:27I, um, brought this with me.
36:34It's all I have of her.
36:37That's not true.
36:38You, you have her eyes, you have her smile, but most of all, you have her courage.
36:47And she would be so proud of the man that you are today.
36:58Son, it's time.
37:11You helped it yourself.
37:13Rachel would have loved it.
37:14Would she have?
37:15Or would she have rather been hiding with the sheep than dealing with all of the gossiping wives and floral
37:20arrangements?
37:23I miss her.
37:26So much.
37:28I do, too.
37:31She would want us to be joyful tonight.
37:35She would tell us that this is exactly as we dreamed.
37:40As God promised.
37:42That our descendants number as many as the stars.
37:47Maybe not as many as the stars.
37:51Not yet.
37:52But one day they will.
37:58Maybe not.
38:08But the stars.
38:10So much.
38:23Oh, he is.
38:25He's produced by me.
