00:09This is your betrothed, Isaac, son of Abraham.
00:14Previously on The Faithful.
00:16Isaac, God spoke to me that we had to have two sons.
00:20He said the elder would serve the younger.
00:22But you cannot usurp what his east was by birthright.
00:26So says the second born heir.
00:28That is my place.
00:29Watch where you tread.
00:30If your father attends to bless Esau, we must get to him first.
00:33Then you'll pay for the treachery of women's life.
00:36I wish my brother and her run and stay with him.
00:38It's God's will.
00:45It's God's will.
00:51It is God's will.
00:53It is God's will.
01:05Oh, my God.
01:43Oh, my God, Beren, wake up.
01:45Brothers, wake up.
01:46This room.
02:21Brothers, wake up.
02:22Brothers, wake up.
02:46Not today, Wolf.
03:00Morning.
03:01I'm worried about Rachel's father.
03:03Huh?
03:03She didn't come home last night.
03:05And she's with Akka and Biram.
03:07No harm can come to her.
03:09You worry too much.
03:15I'm sure you'll be thinking about your own future,
03:18instead of fussing around the rest of us like a little mother henry.
03:22What would this family do without a mother hen?
03:25Hmm?
03:26I've been tending to you all since mother died.
03:28Oh, yeah.
03:29I know it.
03:36Time marches on there,
03:38and you might be getting a little,
03:40just a little past 18 years to find a husband.
03:44You're still very attractive,
03:45and you will fetch a good bride price,
03:48but only if you treat it with a little more haste.
03:51Well, let me know when the next eligible bachelor rides into town,
03:55and until then,
03:56I will continue to fuss over this family as I always have done.
04:02Oh!
04:03What?
04:04What happened?
04:06I found our brothers sleeping while our flocks were surrounded by wolves.
04:10Wolves?
04:11Mm-hmm.
04:12Is that blood?
04:13I'm disappointed we missed a wolf fight, sister.
04:15You should have tried harder to wake us.
04:17I would have relished a kill, too.
04:19A wolf pal would make a fine winter coat.
04:21You two were too far in your cups to be stirred.
04:24Don't chide them, Rachel.
04:25Boys will be boys.
04:26They're just enjoying themselves.
04:27Well, they take after you, father.
04:29Much too busy enjoying their revelries to be good shepherds.
04:32How dare you speak to us this way?
04:34I speak truths.
04:35Our flock has not grown in four years.
04:38Well, is this true?
04:39Yes.
04:39Of course not.
04:40Count the sheep yourself.
04:41You have failed to breed the strongest stock,
04:43you've not maximized pasturing time,
04:45and you've let predators run wild.
04:48If you're so clever, sister,
04:49why don't you become a shepherd and take over the flock?
04:53What a fine idea.
04:55I think I will take over.
04:57Easy.
04:59Very good.
05:00I was the sister that took care of home in half.
05:04Rachel was unconventional,
05:07spirited and clever.
05:10We were as night and day,
05:12yet I loved her and she loved me.
05:15Two sisters, one heart.
05:18Then one day, a handsome stranger,
05:21a man of God,
05:22a man of great destiny,
05:25rode into our town and our lives
05:28and changed everything.
05:31Brothers.
05:32Is this her arm?
05:35You're at the outskirts.
05:36Praise God.
05:39I've been lost.
05:41I've been journeying for many days.
05:44Why is the well closed?
05:46I've been in need of a drink.
05:47We're waiting for Rachel.
05:49We don't usually open a well till she arrives.
05:51Is it not the usual hours watering the sheep?
05:53You would think.
05:55But since Rachel took over her family's livestock,
05:58she has determined all our herding schedules.
06:00She says it's more efficient.
06:02Oh.
06:04She sounds like a most unusual woman.
06:06Hmm.
06:07You should see for yourself.
06:11That's Rachel.
06:13I had thought that was a lad approaching.
06:18This stranger mistook you for a boy.
06:23I'm sorry.
06:24It's the hat.
06:27Oh.
06:28And who are you, might I ask?
06:30I'm Jacob.
06:32I'm here looking for my kinsman.
06:34My uncle, Laban.
06:36Laban?
06:37He's my father.
06:39Your...
06:40Cousin!
06:41It seems my luck has finally changed.
06:44Mwah!
07:08Let me look at you.
07:11Oh, my sister's boy.
07:15And how is she?
07:16And the rest of your family?
07:19My mother and father are very well.
07:21Their flocks have been multiplying.
07:22Our encampment is expanding.
07:24Do sit down and drink a drink for him, please.
07:28And tell me, does she have many boys?
07:32Just two.
07:33Just two.
07:33My brother, Esau, was unable to make the trip.
07:37You're the eldest.
07:39My brother and I are twins.
07:41Even in the womb, we were twisting and turning,
07:44fighting for first position.
07:48But...
07:49But I was the ultimate victor.
07:53My brother was born clinging to my ankle.
07:56No!
07:57Clinging to...
07:58You are very welcome here.
08:03It's strange of you to visit in this manner.
08:06Alone.
08:07With no gifts, according to custom.
08:10With nothing but the clothes on your back.
08:15Well, I was robbed.
08:16You were robbed?
08:17Robbed on my way here.
08:18Robbed?
08:19Oh, the robbers didn't take your horse?
08:21He's a very fine steed.
08:23Well, my horse was the only reason I escaped unscathed.
08:27Sister, we must let our brave guest rest.
08:30After such a trying journey, I shall have Zilpah prepare our best ten feet.
08:34Zilpah!
08:34Yes.
08:35Nephew.
08:36You must rest and tonight we will have a welcome feast.
08:41Now, Zilpah.
08:42Look after our guest.
08:43Make him comfortable.
08:47Ineligible bachelor.
08:48An eligible bachelor.
08:49You asked for one and one arrived.
08:51Boom.
08:51From the gods.
08:52And here I thought he came from Canaan.
08:55Oh, Father, I'm quite surprised.
08:57I never imagined a future further than tending to our family, but...
09:03What a man.
09:04Do you think he's come in search of a wife?
09:06Oh, yes, yes.
09:08I think so.
09:10There is the future that you have forestalled for all our sake.
09:16Then there is no time to tarry.
09:18We have half a day to prepare a feast.
09:20Villa? Villa?
09:21Are there any more of the rabbits that Rachel had trapped?
09:23Yes, yes, yes.
09:24You know, yes.
09:25The rabbits.
09:26Yes, the big fat one.
09:43Our gods of the hearth.
09:46My mother told me about the household idols from her childhood.
09:49I've always been curious.
09:50Oh, yes.
09:51Your mother, she was always so fascinated by the divine.
09:55But tell me, you were raised to worship Abraham's god?
09:59I was.
10:01And my faith has grown even deeper recently.
10:06It might sound like madness, but...
10:09On my way to Haran, I had a profound vision.
10:15I saw the gates of heaven.
10:17Oh?
10:20Was it a dream?
10:21It was as real as everything here.
10:24And undoubtedly, a message from God.
10:27Oh.
10:28There was a ladder.
10:29One that connects heaven to earth with angels ascending and descending.
10:35And then he spoke to me.
10:37Promising me many great descendants as numerous as the stars who would one day spread across the earth.
10:44Descendants?
10:46So you must be hoping to have a family of your own someday.
10:50I had always hoped for twelve sons.
10:53Twelve?
10:55Quite the family man, are we?
10:58My grandfather Abraham was always so proud of his son Ishmael, who had a dozen children.
11:03It was always a magical number for me.
11:06Oh.
11:07A brood of twelve children running around.
11:10It's magical indeed.
11:14Family is the most important thing in life, is it not?
11:17I'm glad to hear you say so.
11:19And that you don't find the number too shocking.
11:21Oh.
11:22My brother always thought my goal was rather ridiculous.
11:27I think it's perfect.
11:29I'm sorry I'm late.
11:32I was getting the blankets ready for trade at the market.
11:36I hardly recognize you without your hat and the dirt on your nose.
11:40You found me out.
11:42Even us shepherdesses must take baths sometimes.
11:45Sister this looks delicious as always.
11:47We're leaving the water!
11:49No!
11:49We're leaving the water!
11:50I love this!
11:51I love this!
11:55Mmmmm!
11:57Mmm!
11:57Mmmmm!
11:58Mmmmm!
11:59Mmmmm!
12:07Mmmmm!
12:14Oh, here he...
12:36Stands to inherit a great fortune, you know, hmm?
12:40You wonderful catch for Leah, yes?
12:43We hardly know him, Father.
12:45What is there to know?
12:47A man like that can secure our future for generations.
13:14What is this?
13:15Here we go.
13:21I'd like to try.
13:22I have money to spare today.
13:28Well, we'll gladly take your coin.
13:30Watch out you don't poke out your own eye.
13:36I recognize these.
13:38Myrtle berries for treating fever.
13:39Are they not from Canaan?
13:40Yes.
13:41I journey there every other month.
13:43What a stroke of luck.
13:44I need someone to take a message there for my mother.
13:46Can you do so in your next journey?
13:57No, no...
14:03I can't wait.
14:11I need someone to give away my mother.
14:16No!
14:17Why?
14:17Yeah.
14:17Oh!
14:17What?
14:17What?
14:17Oh.
14:17appearance she is not a witch i told her everything she knows myself she was wrong to toy with you
14:22fine gentlemen i'll admit she's of the saucy sort i will be sure to discipline her later now how
14:27about a round of drinks on me good day drinks on you these are my earnings i would have been
14:37fine
14:37i could have handled those flouts you're welcome you're as good with a bow as i am with people
14:45you're good with people what do you call that back there
14:50how did you learn to shoot so well i watched my father teaching my brothers i've been secretly
14:57practicing since i was a child it's a useful skill when you have a flock to protect you sound like
15:02my
15:02mother thank you i suppose oh for what for rescuing me no for the compliment i assume it was a
15:11compliment
15:11most assuredly my mother is a strong and unique woman i'm glad to hear it
15:18to be clear what happened back there was not a rescue
15:23right how dare i call it that i deserve an arrow to the head
15:29but i will admit it was a bit clever
15:37he's been here a month and he still hasn't proposed my patience is waning
15:45so far all that young man has done is eaten our finest food and slept in our best tent
15:50we must give him more time perhaps there's something more i can do what more can you do
15:56short of throwing yourself naked at his feet you prance about all day you make food for him play
16:02music for him day after day after day no i i think he's taking advantage of our generosity now he
16:08must
16:08stay tell him rachel jacob seems like a well-intentioned man he an extra amount to feed is hardly so
16:16dear to us
16:16and it can take time to realize one's affections and to have the courage to declare oneself
16:24thank you see rachel likes him too
16:28father we've made a grand discovery we've gone through jacob's things what
16:33why would you do such a thing because i could tell father was souring on jacob with his long
16:38unproductive stay and i have never trusted the man we discovered a message which he's writing to his
16:45mother he says he loves our sister oh he loves this is nothing compared to the rest
16:52turns out our dear cousin jacob is a liar he is not the eldest he tricked his father and he
16:59stole
16:59his brother esau's blessing esau was about to kill him so jacob was forced to flee his home with nothing
17:04to spend the shame and disgrace
17:10my god been harboring a fraud as a trickster we have all been deceived
17:26i treated you as an honored guest as well as any of my own sons and yet i am to
17:33be rewarded with
17:34with what with deception
17:38i'm sorry about hiding the truth uncle but i needed a place to stay
17:41i wanted you to look well upon me surely you can understand jacob lies but also he loves
17:50what can be done sister do you think he might still propose propose i think father will send him
17:58away but i still love him he deceived us i know my feelings are not practical but i don't care
18:04he is handsome he's intelligent he's cultured a man of great faith a family man is he not
18:15he is yes i've i've barely met anyone as charming as he
18:24but leia even if father forgives him he won't have anything to offer as a bride price then you
18:30know how much that matters to him you may be interested to know that father went to find jacob
18:34and pulled him aside for a private conversation come sister i must know what they speak of
18:42my mother is on my side she has promised to send him once my brother's anger waits and then i
18:47can
18:47return home and take my rightful place amongst my people in the meantime i will work for my room and
18:54board how convenient that you make this offer now that you've been found out
18:59you're right i should have thought of it sooner but just think i can help to make you a rich
19:06man
19:07my family's herd and land are amongst the most expansive in canaan due in no small part to me
19:18there is potentially work around here for an extra pair of hands
19:26but just because you are my kinsman should you therefore serve me for nothing
19:34oh you mentioned in your message to my sister that you were in love with my daughter perhaps you might
19:43be convinced to take her hand in marriage in return for your work i can't deny it
19:53i have fallen madly in love with her oh this is wonderful wonderful i'm gonna let me see now
20:01um for bed for board and my daughter and i i think ten years work would be fair five years

38:25My love.
38:28I'm back.
38:34I hope it's gone longer than expected.
38:47She did this to trap me.
38:49In the eyes of the world, Leah and I are married.
38:51What have you done?
38:53Yes, Jacob is my husband.
38:55Our union has been consummated.
38:57Are you mad?
38:58Dad, he will never truly love you.
39:01How could you, Leah?
39:03You took what was mine.
39:05The only man that I've ever loved.
39:07All of this you knew and you said that you'd do right by me.
39:10He will never be yours.
39:12Don't you understand?
39:14And now I hate you.
39:16And Jacob hates you too.
39:18What's this?
39:19What's this?
39:19Come, come.
39:20Come, come.
39:22Everything must be settled with peace between my lovely daughters.
39:27I suspect, Rachel, that your entire family was in on the trick.
39:38What are these?
39:39Eyes?
39:40You two were the wolves.
39:43Fitting as Jacob and I are the innocent lamb.
39:46Oh, you are such a victim.
39:48You cannot hold me to this marriage.
39:49I did not know it was her.
39:52But the circumstances matter not.
39:56You bedded, Leah.
39:57You are married to her.
40:00How can you be part of such an awful deceit against your own daughter?
40:04It is not customary for the younger to be married before the older.
40:08I weighed the choices and I saw there was a chance for both my daughters to be happy.
40:17What can you possibly mean?
40:20A man can have two wives.
40:23I have no objection to your marrying my Rachel as well.
40:30As long as you agree to the same terms and provide a bride price of another seven years labor.
40:37You expect me to wait another seven years?
40:40Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
40:41You can marry her now and then after you can complete your service.
40:50There must be another way.
40:59There isn't.
41:04You know, I would do anything for you.
41:29It is as I expected.
41:32His love for Rachel is so strong that he would remain in Haran for another seven years.
41:36Indeed.
41:38I now have the benefits of Jacob's talents.
41:42We will not have to rely on your feckless brothers for our prosperity.
41:45And you, my daughter, are Jacob's wife.
41:51I just hope that one day he will learn to love me as much as he loves Rachel.
41:56What happened with Leia was a terrible mistake.
41:58It means nothing to me our night together.
42:00Don't speak of a can bear the thought.
42:02What she did was for naught.
42:04She'll be my wife in name only.
42:05I won't touch her.
42:06My feelings for you remain true.
42:08Please believe me.
42:10You swear you won't treat her as your real wife?
42:12Never.
42:14Never.
42:16And when we're married, we won't think of her at all.
42:19It'll just be you.
42:33We'll make the best of our time, you man.
42:35We'll use it to secure our future.
42:38I grew my family's flocks.
42:40Our livestock built all that we have.
42:41And I'll do the same for us.
42:43That we have more to take with us when we leave.
42:45You do think of everything, my love.
42:48I'm determined not to spare.
42:53It's been a month.
42:59He's barely spoken to me.
43:02They are newlyweds.
43:03As am I.
43:05But they pretend as if I don't exist.
43:11My heart is broken.
43:14How long can this go on?
43:17Will Jacob ever care for me again, or have I completely failed?
43:26I fear that when they depart for Canaan in seven years, that they'll leave me behind.
43:34Oh, no.
43:36Oh, my daughter.
43:38Oh, come, come now.
43:45The irony is, I love him even more for his fealty to Rachel.
43:56Oh, Father, I know in the depths of my heart that I have wronged them.
44:06But at the time, it seemed my only hope.
44:11Still, I...
44:13I did not think I would be so alone.
44:21I feel sick with it sometimes.
44:25I wake up every morning dizzy.
44:27Even the sight of food makes me sick.
44:29I wake up every morning, you say.
44:38I mean, your mother complained of the same ailments when she was pregnant with you.
45:01Jacob, I am with child.
45:05We're going to have a son.
45:06I know when you go home.
45:36Oh, my God.
