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
00:43Dad
00:45Dad
00:45Dad
00:48Dad
00:52Dad
00:53Dad
00:55Dad
00:56Dad
00:58His name's Ruben
01:01Ruben
01:10Ruben
01:13Dad
01:13It's the happiest day of my life
01:31Jacob
01:32Jacob promised Rachael that nothing would alter their love or life together
01:36You 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 until we were one.
02:28Lord, bless my son, Reuben, on his first birthday.
02:33Make him strong to live a life in your service.
02:45Oh, 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 tent where he spends his nights.
03:11She's getting rather testy.
03:13Perhaps her monthly friend is visiting.
03:15Move away. Move away!
03:19Oh, here.
03:20I call upon my household gods to bless my beautiful grandchild.
03:27And I bought one for you to place upon your hearth.
03:33Reuben 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.
03:44I 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.
04:02Please 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.
04:36Good boy.
04:37You won't be gone too long.
04:40Only a few weeks, I 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.
04:50If I 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.
05:26So fun.
05:29Goodnight.
05:39They're like little stars.
05:43Reminds me of the vision I had on my way to Haran.
05:46When I saw the angels.
05:49They were far away.
05:53Ethereal.
05:55Difficult 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.
06:45Spending time together.
06:47Our late night conversations.
06:51Sometimes I wonder if you might not love me too.
06:58Leah, it's not what you think. I... I love... I love the life that you have given me.
07:06Should that not be enough?
07:19Husband!
07:22Miss me?
07:23I have no idea.
07:26Let's go make a baby then.
07:31Mom.
07:43Two cycles and still not pregnant.
07:47Guess 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.
08:23I am a baby.
08:26I am a baby.
08:29I am a baby.
08:30I am a baby.
08:31I am a baby.
08:31Are you ever going to forgive me?
08:35It's been a week, Rachel.
08:36You've hardly said two words to me.
08:37me do 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 it is
08:47not an indiscretion leah is also my wife this is not what we agreed on or the agreement to act
08:52as
08:52if leah isn't a part of this family it doesn't work you are the love of my life rachel it
08:58hurts
08:59me to hurt you but the truth is i care for leah too she is the mother of my child
09:05soon to be
09:06children she must have manipulated you fallen into your arms sobbing over her loneliness
09:12going on she has rights too as my wife and 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 why won't i understand because i'm not a mother
09:34what are you doing there's only one way to fix this problem i clearly have a lot of catching up
09:39to do
10:03with each child born to jacob and i my life grew fuller and fuller

11:34has chosen to deny
11:35you a babe no you're the one who has denied me a chance to catch up with leia it is
11:39painful enough
11:40that you can't stop sleeping with my sister but she seems to become pregnant when you even cast an eye

11:51then tell me rachel what would you have me do stop betting my sister or i will stop betting you

16:08a child that would be just as special in his own way
16:21you've always been self-reliant a practical woman and you have made your way so far
16:28on reason and resilience but sometimes don't you feel that there are things on this earth that
16:38cannot be explained by logic alone

18:37no
18:38no
18:39no
18:40no
18:48Thank God, thank God.
18:56My youngest son, Joseph.
18:59Now this is the happiest day of my life.
19:08Come on, let'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.
19:23You'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.
19:34Leaving our home and everything we've ever known with nothing.
19:38I would never let us leave with nothing.
19:40I told Jacob to negotiate with the father.
19:43I've built this family's fortune sheep by sheep and they're deserving of our share.
19:47As for Jacob's family, as you've taught me once, sister, let me now be the one to remind you.
19:53We must have faith.
19:57We've spoken.
19:59And your father has been quite accommodating.
20:02I must say, it's going to be very hard to part with my beloved daughters.
20:09It's frankly a tragedy.
20:13We've been left at home alone with those two.
20:18He has even been generous enough to offer some of the flock.
20:22Really?
20:23Yes, of course.
20:24I am very well aware that I have only been blessed with good fortune because of you and Jacob.
20:29So I would like you to go to the flock and separate out both the speckled and the spotted sheep
20:36and have them for yourselves.
20:38That's a tenth of the herd.
20:41That is generous.
20:42Oh, no.
20:43Speak nothing of it, huh?
20:45What kind of father would I be if I did not set my children up for success?
20:50Yes, now, here, look.
20:56How was this?
20:59Say that, go on.
21:00It looks good.
21:04I don't see a single black 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 will never find them.
21:17Good.
21:18And they won't be taking anything that is rightfully ours.
21:21With nothing to their name, I 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.
21:35And if we accuse him now, he'll simply come up with another trick.
21:38And we must bide our time, regrow the flock, and trick him right back.
21:41But how are we going to rebuild the flock without any black or speckled sheep to breed with?
21:45Besides, it took me nearly 20 years to go in my father's herd.
21:49My love, I will find a way.
21:51I don't know how I am so certain, but I promise you, it will not take another 20 years.
21:58Remember, you taught me everything you know as the best shepherdess in Haran.
22:03Even the best shepherdess isn't capable of miracles.
22:06Trust me.
22:43Joseph, wait. Come, sister, come.
22:48Jacob, you have bred an entire flock out of thin air, and in only a handful of years. How?
22:55I took poplar, almond, and plain, stripped back the bark to expose the white underneath,
23:00then put them in the trough, and set all the white sheep from your father's flock to drink from it.
23:05And when they would breed, all of the lambs were spotted and speckled.
23:09An unusual methodology, is it not? I'd never heard of it.
23:13It was as if I woke up one morning and just knew. I believe it was God. He favored us.
23:20You've come a long way from the man who hardly knew how to milk a cow.
23:23Well, now that we have our own flock, how will we take them with us?
23:28Father will never allow it.
23:31That is why we cannot tell your father.
23:35We will just sneak away without even saying goodbye.
23:37Yes, sister. We must slip away in the night.
23:56Father, what?
23:58Father, they're gone.
24:00Father, they're gone.
24:01No, who's done?
24:03Take a blame, Rachel.
24:04And all of their children, and the entire camp, the whole place is empty.
24:08And they've made off with half of our flock.
24:11All the black and spotted sheep.
24:12Leaving us with a very small and weak herd.
24:15They profited off of us.
24:16They fooled us, took women's hours right out from under us.
24:22They tricked me!
24:24Their own father!
24:28Man, you go to town.
24:30Gather up your men.
24:31We will give chase.
24:32I'll take everything back.
24:33By force, if necessary.
24:35Go!
24:36Get your men!
24:36Go!
24:38Go!
25:10Why are father's idols hidden in your saddle?
25:14I snuck into his camp before we left, and I stole them.
25:18Why?
25:19Our father and brothers will have discovered our absence by now, and are surely giving chase.
25:23When they catch us, and they will catch us, they'll seize our flocks and send us away empty-handed.
25:28I can't let that happen.
25:30Father is so very attached to the idols, and our brothers want them for themselves.
25:34This will only antagonize them.
25:36That's exactly what I'm counting on.
25:39Just trust me.
25:41We need a contingency plan, and this is it.
25:47And say nothing of this to Jacob.
26:15Jacob.
26:17Jacob.
26:19You're left without saying a word.
26:21You think it's right to take away a man's daughters like captives of the sword in the night?
26:27You are here to take what is rightfully ours.
26:30How can you say this?
26:32You are the one that cheated me.
26:33If you're speaking of our herd, then we have a right to every creature that we've taken.
26:37I don't think your brothers or our men are going to agree with that.
26:41Besides, there is also the matter of the household idols.
26:45You do know, don't you, that it is a sinful offense to take a man's gods from him.
26:51Not to mention their familial significance.
26:53Those idols have always been held by the leader of our family.
26:56I have not taken your precious household gods.
26:58That would be a sin indeed.
27:00Oh, who did it then?
27:01I think you're nothing but a common thief.
27:04Search our belongings yourself.
27:07And if you find anyone here that has stolen your gods, I swear that they shall not live.
27:13Oh, I will hold you to that promise.
27:24Sister, I can hardly breathe if I go to find the camel's saddle.
27:28Search the tents!
27:29I will go hide or found!
27:36This is the last tent in the camp.
27:39It's mine and Rachel's.
27:40You won't find them here.
27:45There's nothing here, Father.
27:48The only place we haven't searched is your persons.
27:52Hmm?
27:53Up.
27:54I'm sorry, Father.
27:56Please don't be angry.
27:58But I cannot rise before you.
28:00The ways of women are upon me.
28:05No, Father.
28:06We cannot touch her during her, um, lunations.
28:10It would be much too unpleasant.
28:12No.
28:12No matter.
28:14Because we will not be leaving before the idols turn up.
28:18In the meantime, my sons, round up the livestock.
28:21No, I can't.
28:23No.
28:27Oh, brother.
28:28Why don't I show you where the sheep are?
28:29You'd be hard-pressed to find them.
28:37I'm turning into a fine old morning.
28:41I slept rather well for a man on the road.
28:46Why are you all so glum?
28:50Shouldn't there be some cheer when one is with family?
28:53Perhaps you would have more cheer, sir, if you had not overstayed your welcome.
28:57Father!
28:57Father!
28:58Yes?
28:59We were rounding up the livestock when Birm fell.
29:01There they were.
29:02The household idols tumbling out of his pocket.
29:04I never, I didn't, I never touched them.
29:06I didn't.
29:07You're trying to set me up to look bad at Father's eyes.
29:10We all know you'd love to be named patriarch of this family and claim my rightful inheritance.
29:15I have every right to be the patriarch of this family if Father wishes to bequeath me the idols.
29:19I am the eldest son.
29:26I have every right, brother.
29:29You better run, brother, or you still can.
29:32I'm going to catch you.
29:34After that.
29:35After that.
29:36I'm back here.
29:38Take your horses.
29:41What did you say earlier, sir?
29:44That you'd be leaving once the idols were found?
29:49You framed our brother.
29:51You were right.
29:52It did antagonize them.
29:55Oh, sister, you saved our lives.
30:03We made the last of our long-anticipated journey to Jacob's home, to our new lives.
30:10I'd been afraid that family strife might greet us, that we'd be met with resentment, anger, and swords.
30:17What we found was reconciliation and forgiveness, love with our new family, and fresh purpose.
30:25Sister, can you believe it?
30:26Canaan?
30:27It's everything I've imagined.
30:29At last, we were home.
30:41Is that how you prevailed over the angel of the Lord, Father?
30:45It was, Joseph.
30:46We wrestled until the break of day, when I finally prevailed.
30:51Though it did not come without pain.
30:53The man broke my hip.
30:54But still, I didn't let him go until he blessed me.
30:59Your father came face to face with God, who gave him his new name, Israel.
31:07Rachel and I were content in Canaan.
31:09Our sisterhood was strong, and so was our family.
31:14But Jacob's dream of twelve sons never faded in my mind.
31:17I could not ignore the desire.
31:22And neither could she.
31:27Why do you have mandrakes?
31:29Are you trying to have another child?
31:31You are, aren't you?
31:33Leia, I've only ever been able to bear.
31:37One child.
31:39When I have always wanted several.
31:41But I was never blessed.
31:43Not like you.
31:45And you nearly passed the ways of women.
31:48If anyone should carry another child, it's me.
31:51Rachel, you nearly died giving birth to Joseph.
31:54You would be risking your life.
31:56You can't do it.
31:57I can, and I shall.
32:00It would be worth the risk.
32:01Then we shall see who bears the twelfth son.
32:30I'm scared.
32:31I'm here.
32:33I'm here.
32:34No.
32:35Laugh!
32:36No!
33:07I'm not going to make it, am I?
33:10Please, sister.
33:12Please stay with us.
33:15You were right.
33:17You told me it was too dangerous to have another baby.
33:23Oh, I let my jealousy get the best of me.
33:29It will haunt me forever if this costs you your life.
33:34I played my part in this, too.
33:39But I look at our beautiful family and my beautiful son,
33:46and I think it was all worth a sacrifice, wasn't it?
33:54Every tear and every painful moment.
33:59God has a destiny for us all.
34:04I love you.
34:08Two sisters, one heart.
34:13Mom.
34:27You promised me you'll raise my son as if you are your own.
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.
35:26She was right.
35:28She was right.
35:48Benjamin was always ravenous.
35:52You could never feed that boy enough.
35:54I need to remove my arm before she tells that awful story again
35:56about how I became violently ill eating that cursed goat's medicine.
36:02You're supposed to tell stories that would make me more appealing to my soon-to-be wife,
36:04not less.
36:06Let me have my fun.
36:10Aunt, do you think Mother was watching over our marrying them?
36:16I'm sure of it.
36:20Nights 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.
36:39You have her eyes.
36:41You have her smile.
36:43But most of all,
36:45you have her courage.
36:48And she would be so proud of the man that you are today.
36:55Son.
36:58It'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
37:18than dealing with all of the gossiping wives and floral arrangements?
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.
37:54That is a lot.
37:59I do too.
38:08I do too.
38:11I do too.
38:15I do too.
38:17That is a lot of things.
38:18I do too.
38:18I do too.
38:20That is a lot of things.
38:21I do too.
38:24But the two or two of us are such as a writer.
