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.
00:00:12Please.
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.
00:00:48Stay 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.
00:01:23Santa?
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...
00:01:48Maybe 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.
00:02:00The storm is falling.
00:02:02I'm so sorry.
00:02:09I'm so sorry.
00:02:12Oh, my God!
00:02:17I'm so sorry.
00:02:17I'm so sorry.
00:02:17Rebecca.
00:02:18Keep an eye on your grandmother for a moment.
00:02:20We need some new shears.
00:02:22Oh.
00:02:23Oh.
00:02:27Oh.
00:02:28Oh, he thinks I need a nursemaid.
00:02:40Look at this color.
00:02:43It matches your eyes.
00:02:53What's the matter?
00:02:56Nothing.
00:02:58I was lost in a memory.
00:03:01Your 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 her own.
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.
00:03:20What 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.
00:03:40And what will you miss if you stay?
00:03:43You have an audience.
00:03:46Men 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.
00:03:59Settling off the three goats in the movie.
00:04:06I'd never forgive you if you did.
00:04:24Please.
00:04:27Can 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.
00:05:09I'll draw water for them as well.
00:05:12Tell me whose daughter you are.
00:05:14I'm the daughter of Bethuel.
00:05:16Son of Milca and Nahor.
00:05:18Blessed be the Lord.
00:05:20Who has led 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?
00:05:33He 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 a child she yearned for?
00:05:48She did.
00:05:49In fact, her son is the reason of my errand.
00:05:52Abraham 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 I made an offer 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, so 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.
00:06:32What 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, and 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 course 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.
00:07:10In ten days, we'll decide if we'll...
00:07:12I don't need ten days.
00:07:15I'll go with him.
00:07:17Are you sure?
00:07:18You 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.
00:07:56May your descendants inherit the gate of their enemies.
00:08:01You once told me that I would know my purpose.
00:08:06Do I?
00:08:11Yes.
00:08:15Close to me.
00:08:22Oh, yes.
00:08:32Debra, I so appreciate your 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.
00:08:47As I adjust to this new...
00:08:51Everything.
00:08:51Honey, you'll have your husband to lean on as well.
00:08:57It's a good name.
00:08:59Isaac.
00:09:00Means laughter.
00:09:02He 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?
00:09:56Your father sent me to Haran to find a wife.
00:10:00A wife?
00:10:01I 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 I want to 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 wherever 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.
00:11:02What do you want?
00:11:03I've wide of 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.
00:11:20Left?
00:11:21Yes, this morning.
00:11:23First 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.
00:12:04I could drink food.
00:12:05It'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.
00:12:15Your 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.
00:12:32How can it be true?
00:12:33I, your grandmother's own account, Abraham is the finest of me.
00:12:36He's no reason to lie.
00:12:38Not about something like that.
00:12:57I accept.
00:12:59You accept.
00:13:01It'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, a peace offering.
00:13:34Oh, thank you.
00:13:46It's beautiful.
00:13:47I find threading the beads strangely calming.
00:13:53That's something I learned 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 mean its eyes to fight me.
00:14:24You could use its nose.
00:14:27And its ear.
00:14:29And it's...
00:14:31I've got you.
00:14:34That's perfect.
00:14:35You were very scared.
00:14:39And you, you were the most careful.
00:14:41Out 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.
00:15:20Don't sleep over.
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.
00:16:06Too numerous to count.
00:16:08God himself promised so.
00:16:11Promised who?
00:16:12Not 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 travelled for three days to Mount Moriah.
00:16:38And it didn't occur to me to ask, until we were halfway up, where the lamb was.
00:16:46He said, don't worry.
00:16:50We reached the highest point.
00:16:51He built a pyre of wood.
00:16:54And then he turned to me.
00:16:55He...
00:16:57I've never seen her look like it.
00:16:59It was so much...
00:17:02Sorrow.
00:17:07That's when I realised...
00:17:11I was the sacrifice.
00:17:14The way he looked at me.
00:17:18He was prepared to do it.
00:17:19To kill me.
00:17:20You 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...
00:17:30It was not his to withhold.
00:17:32I don't know how I can love him and...
00:17:35Hate him in...
00:17:37You're stronger than you know, Isaac.
00:17:40To 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.
00:17:52That was the sacrifice in my place.
00:17:55It seemed so calm.
00:17:58As if it was...
00:18:00Exactly where it was supposed to be.
00:18:06What was 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 your father brought no offering.
00:18:17It's as if it appeared from nowhere.
00:18:19Like it dropped out of the sky.
00:18:22Which was...
00:18:23That was so strange that day.
00:18:25The clouds were...
00:18:27Roiling 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 brue eye and 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.
00:19:24Zepha.
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 here.
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 middle I missed something.
00:20:35Or it's beyond her understanding.
00:20:38My God may know.
00:20:39I don't inquire it in myself.
00:20:47I beseech you, Lord.
00:20:50Tell me why my womb fights with itself.
00:20:55What troubles my unborn child?
00:21:00What is his fate?
00:21:05I beg you, my Lord.
00:21:18I beg you, my Lord.
00:21:20or Rebecca.
00:21:35Two for you today.
00:21:38It seems like a storm is growing.
00:21:50Rebecca?
00:21:52Rebecca?
00:22:32Are you all right?
00:22:33Are you all right?
00:22:33You're not hurt.
00:22:34I'm fine.
00:22:35I'm fine.
00:22:36All right, I need to get answered.
00:22:39Isaac.
00:22:40Isaac.
00:22:41He spoke to me.
00:22:45He spoke to me.
00:22:53I asked him to bless our son and to ensure his good health, and I never thought he'd answer.
00:23:03I am not unwell, my love.
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.
00:23:24He's a blessing, to be sure, and the reason it's not been easy.
00:23:30They strive against one another.
00:23:33He also said that one would be stronger, and that the elder would serve the younger.
00:23:44The younger would be her.
00:23:47As with you and Ishapelle.
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, or we risk harming all of you.
00:24:09It is time.
00:24:28It is time to his brother.
00:24:30It is time to his brother.
00:24:42The second one announces himself.
00:24:45Hush, mistress.
00:25:03He'll need extra attention, this one.
00:25:22Hello.
00:25:25Hello.
00:25:28Hello.
00:25:29Hello.
00:25:30Hello.
00:25:31Look at his head.
00:25:33He'll need his name to Esau.
00:25:38Surely his name has to be Esau.
00:25:45Which is firstborn?
00:25:47The one you hold.
00:25:55In this shall be Jacob, my his will learn him.
00:26:04Look, look, look, look, look, look, look, look at you, he's so, so strong.
00:26:08Look at you, look at you.
00:26:11You want to be a hunter like no other, I know it.
00:26:14I'll take Jacob for you.
00:26:18There we are.
00:26:23It's all right.
00:26:30There's something we've not discussed.
00:26:33In 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.
00:26:42We don't need to talk about that now.
00:26:45Then when?
00:26:55Ellie, is it?
00:26:58What's all this?
00:26:59What is it?
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 is 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.
00:27:20Do not worry, my heart is going to be with you.
00:27:23I ask that we keep it to ourselves.
00:27:26They don't want your father to know.
00:27:29No.
00:27:30Or the boys.
00:27:32Let 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.
00:28:19Yes, I can tell.
00:28:20It's good you have broad shoulders, child.
00:28:22A great weight when they are 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.
00:28:40The angel of God blesses them both.
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 if your hand slips.
00:29:02You spent more time with him, you'd see for yourself.
00:29:04It'll catch on this latch 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 every pod and camp.
00:29:34I see him.
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?
00:30:31Fine.
00:30:31I don't want anyway.
00:30:33The stew were your birthright.
00:30:52Always 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, nothing more.
00:31:06You favour Jacob, fine.
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.
00:31:28Because he spoke to me, not you.
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,
00:31:42knowing 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,
00:31:59I 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, I've lived this.
00:32:23I've lived the result.
00:32:27If we go against the natural order of things,
00:32:29we 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 come with word.
00:32:46What is it?
00:32:47What is it?
00:32:47Your father.
00:32:48There's a mercy sign.
00:32:50He'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.
00:33:51Me and truth, neither did I.
00:33:54But I loved you so.
00:33:58I'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 you.
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.
00:34:57Lord, Pete.
00:34:57Amen.
00:35:08-
00:35:53God bless you.
00:35:54I'll 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.
00:36:25Fear and doubt, plague Esau.
00:36:29Fear and doubt, plague Esau.
00:36:36Fear and doubt, plague Esau.
00:36:47Have you come to join the hunts, brother?
00:36:50Simon, a bow for Jacob.
00:36:53It is about time you learned how to use one, brother.
00:36:55You are supposed to be at council.
00:36:57It is not high, son.
00:37:01You see 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'll 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?
00:37:24Yeah!
00:37:25Yeah!
00:37:28Come on.
00:37:29Come on.
00:37:30When it takes, or...
00:37:31Go!
00:37:32Come on!
00:37:32Keep up!
00:37:33Come on now, brother!
00:37:35It'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.
00:37:56Oh, come on, brother.
00:37:57Is it the horse who tires, or you?
00:37:59It's the horse.
00:38:00Come 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.
00:38:15Don't try it, you bud, brother.
00:38:17Come on!
00:38:18I 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.
00:38:32But as one nation, we are protected.
00:38:36We are stronger and richer in every way.
00:38:38Which leaves us with a choice.
00:38:42Will we grow and prosper together?
00:38:44Be the shepherds of God's promise,
00:38:46or will we splinter and languish alone?
00:38:53Draw your waters.
00:38:55And if you cannot find common ground,
00:38:57I'll leave you both with none.
00:39:00Don't choose.
00:39:10I win again, brother.
00:39:14Please, please, you must hear me.
00:39:16The Hittites, they've 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, they are vile, but not unreasonable.
00:39:26I've had plenty of dealings with them.
00:39:28Father, will you allow me?
00:39:30My son's word carries the weight of my own.
00:39:33You'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 him 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 is the firstborn.
00:40:02His fate is decided, as is mine.
00:40:04It matters.
00:40:12It matters more each day.
00:40:22Esau.
00:40:23He's stepping into the world.
00:40:25We must support him, both of us.
00:40:30Even your father saw it.
00:40:33But you...
00:40:35You refuse.
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 let's help!
00:41:20It's enough!
00:41:21It's hard!
00:41:21Isaac.
00:41:30He saw it!
00:41:31He saw it!
00:41:33Help!
00:41:37He saw it!
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.
00:41:55As soon as I am able,
00:41:56we will take the fight to them.
00:42:03All of this over are well.
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.
00:42:35We 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, God'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.
00:43:23He 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.
00:43:58I 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, the 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 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.
00:46:50Thank you again for coming.
00:46:51You're welcome here.
00:46:52You're all welcome.
00:46:54Here.
00:46:55Appreciate your hospitality.
00:46:56Please feel free to make the most.
00:46:58And perhaps in the morning, you and I could sit.
00:47:01No, enough.
00:47:03What is it?
00:47:03I'm not sure.
00:47:05Enough 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.
00:47:16Esau 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 right by her or I will finish what we started at the world.
00:47:43Stop this.
00:47:44Please stop this.
00:47:45No!
00:47:46No!
00:47:47No!
00:47:47No!
00:47:49No!
00:47:50No!
00:47:51No!
00:47:51No!
00:47:51No!
00:47:53No!
00:48:13It's done.
00:48:14He'll marry the haitard 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.
00:48:35Go.
00:48:37Apologize to your betrothed.
00:48:59He's hungry.
00:49:01His cries all sound the same.
00:49:03How do you know?
00:49:04Comes with time.
00:49:06You'll learn.
00:49:11He needs to eat, my love.
00:49:13Oh, so do I.
00:49:17Your father's unwell.
00:49:18You ought to take his place at council.
00:49:21I'd have plans to go and hunt near the river.
00:49:23You have different plans now.
00:49:37These Hittites and their idols.
00:49:39This is not what my grandfather would have wanted.
00:49:42If I so tolerates them, it's almost you.
00:49:49You have to listen to me.
00:49:50It's no business of hers what happens in my tent.
00:49:53My children hear them.
00:49:55They're not even married.
00:49:56Enough of this nonsense.
00:49:59Leave.
00:50:05These idols are all over the camp.
00:50:08They 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.
00:50:30Act like it, both of you.
00:50:31Yes, little brother.
00:50:33Do you know your place?
00:50:35That is my place.
00:50:39Jacob.
00:50:40Go on.
00:50:41Tell him.
00:50:45You 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.
00:50:59I said my peace and you defied me.
00:51:00As you defy God.
00:51:06I said.
00:51:09Isaac, speak to me.
00:51:11I can't see.
00:51:14I can't see.
00:51:17I can't see.
00:51:24I have seen this before.
00:51:27It strikes quickly and resolves slowly.
00:51:30If it resolves, it can render you unable to speak or to walk.
00:51:37Or to see.
00:51:39Yes.
00:51:40But he'll improve.
00:51:44It's possible.
00:51:46But you must plan as if you 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 know.
00:52:45I'm here.
00:52:47Is it blind?
00:52:48It's all right.
00:52:49It's morning.
00:52:50Oh, love.
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 and said, you must leave this land.
00:53:52Is it the end?
00:53:53He believes so.
00:53:56He intends to bless Esau.
00:53:58He's asked your brother to hunt and repair me of woe.
00:54:00We must get to him first.
00:54:03You want me to receive the blessing in Esau's stead?
00:54:06Without a 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 and think 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.
00:54:44Fetch one kid first, do you?
00:54:46No.
00:54:47Hurry.
00:54:49Hurry.
00:54:58Hurry.
00:55:09Hurry.
00:55:09Hurry.
00:55:11Our mother.
00:55:16We'll murder you.
00:55:18Ah!
00:55:19Ah!
00:55:21Ah!
00:55:40Mother, Lee!
00:55:42Lee!
00:55:45Lee!
00:55:46Lee!
00:55:48Lee!
00:55:50Lee!
00:55:52Lee!
00:56:06Say as little as possible.
00:56:08Instead.
00:56:26Where's that?
00:56:28Lee!
00:56:33Esau.
00:56:36I've done as you asked.
00:56:40Bring him to me.
00:56:58Let me eat of your game, so that I may bless you.
00:57:08Oh.
00:57:28Come near her, my son.
00:57:44May God give you
00:57:46Of the Jew of heaven
00:57:50And of the fatness of the land
00:57:52May people praise you
00:57:57And nations bow down to you
00:58:14You've been blessed
00:58:15With everyone who blesses you
00:58:50Father
00:58:54Every time
00:58:58I've done exactly as you asked
00:59:16Forgive me
00:59:33Help me understand
00:59:34There's but one blessing
00:59:38As I was with Abraham
00:59:40And my father
00:59:42Only one
00:59:44Can accept the covenant
00:59:49Please I beg you
00:59:50Do not act rashly
01:00:00I know it was you
01:00:08You left me no choice
01:00:14If you believe as I've been
01:00:16Then you too are blind
01:00:22Esau is the bear
01:00:23Now Draco holds the covenant
01:00:29Neither are home
01:00:34You deceived me
01:00:37And you condemned them
01:00:50Don't eat your judgment daughter
01:00:53Add my fill
01:01:00Esau and I
01:01:02Our beginning was not
01:01:05Ideal
01:01:07But I love him
01:01:09As he does me
01:01:11I know it to be true
01:01:15And I must tell you what he's planning
01:01:18Because 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
01:01:27And 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
01:01:41I love you
01:01:47Go
01:01:50Go
01:01:52Go
01:01:52Go
01:02:00Go
01:02:09Please keep on safe
01:02:10All those who seek miracles
01:02:17Fear not
01:02:19You godless champion
01:02:20Has arrived
01:02:25You sit in my stead
01:02:27Where's father?
01:02:28You're late
01:02:29And you're drunk
01:02:30Ah
01:02:31Well that would explain it
01:02:33Come
01:02:35Learn something
01:02:37Your grandfather had me in here
01:02:39When I was your age
01:02:39Simon promised to take us on a hunt
01:02:42Did he?
01:02:44Many wait on you Esau
01:02:46Perhaps 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
01:03:05Spirited
01:03:21You brought me back from the dead
01:03:24Believe you live to reserve 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
01:04:15Standing 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
01:04:36I question whether my purpose is worth the cost
01:04:42And Esau is weak and diminished
01:04:51This is my doing
01:04:57I hate to see you like this
01:05:13I do love you
01:05:19I hope you know that
01:05:25I'm smart if he does
01:05:36No one cares about the weight of a mother's blessing
01:05:42But I give you mine and the less
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
01:06:04And 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
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
01:06:54Your 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
01:07:03His time not healed what was broken
01:07:04I only ever stood in the way of what he wants
01:07:06And now
01:07:08He 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
01:07:23I 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
01:07:43Because of you
01:07:46It is me
01:07:47Or 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
01:07:53Of what I want
01:07:56He is your blood
01:07:57And if his return relieves you
01:07:59Then
01:08:02Why not welcome it?
01:08:04Please
01:08:05Please
01:08:10This is not what God wants
01:08:11No
01:08:12No
01:08:12It is not what you want
01:08:15And that's all I say I'm not in
01:08:18Hasn't it mother?
01:08:26Breathe
01:08:33What 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
01:09:10A distraction
01:09:11Nothing more
01:09:13No
01:09:15No
01:09:17No
01:09:17No
01:09:17Come on.
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.
01:10:33I have dreamt of this day.
01:10:44Do as you must, brother.
01:10:48For all that I have done, it is your right.
01:10:53I'm not here to fight.
01:11:50I'm not here to fight.
01:11:54Oh, it's good to see you, brother.
01:12:16I say you'll step aside?
01:12:18Yes.
01:12:22How do you feel?
01:12:24I'm not here to fight.
01:12:37Free.
01:12:52Where are you going?
01:12:53I'm not here to fight.
01:13:00Don't.
01:13:02I'm not here to fight.
01:13:03I'm not here to fight.
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.
01:14:26You 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, but 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, and I shall revel in it.
