I can't see!

Esau! Behind you.

Not that loose.

Let it bend with
the wind, not break.

Is Abraham safe?

Yes. His tent is
out of the wind.

You go on ahead.

I'll make sure
the Wells are capped.

We don't want them
full of sand by morning.

Oh, help me! Help me!

Just leave him! Just leave him!

That took long enough.

Where are the boys?

One fights the storm
to save the Wells.

The other is
with his grandfather.

Blessed art thou,
o lord our god,

king of the universe,

who brings forth the bread
from the earth.

Amen.

Ah, esau always stalks
the finest in the herd.

He never takes the easy kill.

The people of Abraham
need more than

a strong arm in their leader.

I know
I'm from a different tribe...

Now don't start, woman.

Esau is the firstborn.

Jacob came second,

but he was clutching
his brother's heel.

He tried to get out first.

But it was esau the hunter
who was first.

And then Jacob.

One, a man of action...

And the other,

a man who cares about the tribe.

Now, that is enough.

I think Abraham
hears god's voice

whenever the wind blows.

God speaks to all of us.

Yes, but we don't all hear him.

Blessed art thou,
o lord our god,

king of the universe

who brings forth the bread
from the earth.

Amen.

Do you hear him?

Hear god's voice? Me?

I often feel
there's someone watching.

Do you know what I mean?

I do. I feel it all the time.

But it always turns out to be
a canaanite woman,

following me
like a lovesick cow.

And you encourage them.

You'll end up with
a canaanite wife.

I could do worse.

Pickings are slim in our camp.

Here.

Let's find some shade.

You go on.

Jacob, my son is dying.
My firstborn.

Be strong, elon.

The god of Abraham
watches over you.

God of Abraham,
protect and keep this,

your servant.

Mmm, smells delicious.

That's quite a prize

I stalked him half the day.

Even for a hunter like you.

There's only one greater
pleasure, believe me.

You should come with me
to the canaanite women.

That's a thrill
even you could enjoy.

Perhaps I already have.

You might enjoy it more
if your head was clear

and you knew who
you were lying with.

You talk like an old woman
stirring her porridge.

Well, porridge has its uses.

I'm hungry. Give me some.

No. It's for gaham's boy.
He's sick.

Damn you!

I brought home enough meat
for the entire tribe.

Don't I deserve
a little porridge?

I tell you,
it's for gaham's boy.

There's enough for both of us.

Then wait.
Don't just think of yourself.

You think I'm stupid, don't you?

No, but you're very uncaring.

You're the firstborn.

Firstborn be damned.

What does that mean?

Just a bit bigger share
of what father leaves us.

If your inheritance
means so little to you,

and your hunger is so desperate,

give it to me.

And in return, you can take
all the porridge you want.

Done. No, it's not that easy.

Swear it.
Swear by the god of Abraham.

That in return for the porridge,

I give up my inheritance.

The inheritance of the firstborn

to you, my brother Jacob.

Did you pair as many animals
as you'd hoped?

Yes, mother.

By spring,
we'll be overrun with lambs.

We've never had a better man
tending the flocks.

Not difficult to persuade
animals to couple, mother.

Nor some men.

I won't speak against esau.

He married outside our tribe.

And now he's building
a stone house,

like the canaanites.

How's father?

His eyesight is worse.

And I know he's in pain.

Esau?

No, father. It's Jacob.

Ah.

Do you think esau is too busy?

For you, father? Never.

I'll fetch him.

Esau! Father wants to see you.

Well, what do you think?

You should build one
for yourself.

A stone house?

No, esau. I'm not a canaanite.

Hairy, just like the
animals that fear your bow.

I'm an old man, esau,

and the hour of my death
is near.

No, father.

No, listen. Listen to me.

Take your bow,

find some game,
the finest in the herd,

Prepare it,
and then bring it to me.

When I've eaten my fill, then,

then, I'll give you
my paternal blessing.

No, father.

It is time. Don't argue.

Do as I say. Or I'll be gone

and you'll no longer
have the chance.

Quickly! Get Jacob.

Tell him to come here atonce.

God intended you
to continue Abraham's line,

not esau.

Really? He told you so, did he?

When I was with child,
I was in great pain.

I sought the counsel of god.

"2 nations are within your
womb," I was told.

"2 manner of men
shall be delivered to you.

"The one is stronger
than the other

and the elder shall serve
the younger."

You are the one who pleases god.

You must understand that.

No. I can't do that to esau.

I've already taken
his inheritance as firstborn.

That's enough.

Really? You feel no call?

You never sense a presence
at your shoulder?

Fetch me 2 young goats.

I'll prepare a meal
for your father.

You can take it to him.
He's nearly blind.

He'll bless you.

No.

Don't you want
the elder son's blessing?

Don't you want to carry on
the line begun by Abraham?

Not by deception.

All that counts
is that you do it.

Esau will turn us
into canaanites.

Do as I say.

This is god's will.

Mother, can any
good come from this?

This must be god's wish,

or he would've made you
the hunter

and esau the one who cares.

It won't work.

He'll feel my arms
and know it's not esau.

Quiet. It will work.

Father.

I'm here.

Is it Jacob or esau?

Your firstborn.

And I've done as you wished.
I've brought you the food.

Come closer.

Closer, my son,
so that I may touch you.

Take the food
that I prepared for you

and then you can give me
your blessing.

The arm is the arm of esau,

but the voice
is the voice of Jacob.

Are you truly my son esau?

Yes, I am

your son.

Come near, my son, and kiss me.

Yes, you are truly esau.

God give you the dew of heaven,

the riches of the earth,

grain, and new wine in plenty.

May people serve you
and nations bow down to you.

May you be lord over
your brothers

and may your mother's sons
bow down to you.

Cursed be those who curse you,

and a blessing on those
who bless you.

Who's that?

It's me. Esau.

Come, sit up and eat.

Then you can give me
your blessing.

Why are you feeding me again?

I've blessed you already.

Who was it
who brought food to me?

Jacob.

Damn him!

First, he takes my birthright.

Now he steals my blessing.

Esau, my son, what have I done?

Have you no blessing
left for me?

I've given him everything.
I've made him your master.

But you must bless me instead.

But I blessed him.

And he must remain blessed.

God saw me bless Jacob.

He allowed it to happen.
I... I cannot change that.

Then bless me, too.
Bless me, too.

You shall enjoy
the riches of the earth

and the dew of heaven.

But you will live by the sword.

You've deceived me
once too often.

I'll have your heart
before sunrise.

You care nothing for us.

Nothing for who we are!

I deserve
the blessing of the firstborn!

Jacob!

Stop! Stop it!

Esau!

Would you curse
your father's last days

by murdering your brother?

I give you warning.

Our father's days are numbered.

And once he's been
properly mourned,

I'll kill you, brother,

and never shed a tear.

You die the day after he does.

You must leave here, Jacob.

You must move on.

I'm not afraid of esau!

Do as I say,
or he will kill you.

Then they will kill him!

I don't want to lose 2 sons
in one day.

Your father wants you. Hurry.

Do as he tells you!

He wants to send me away.

Is that why he blessed me?

It is time
you were married, Jacob,

but not to a canaanite woman.

You must go to padanaram
and find a wife there.

One of the daughters of laban,

your mother's brother.

Now, Jacob,

may god bless you.

May he make you fruitful
and increase your descendants

until they become
a community of nations.

May he bestow
on you and your offspring

the blessing given to Abraham

so that you can possesstheland

where you are now living,

the land god gave to Abraham.

A special gift for your bride.

He's taking a rich dowry.

Are you just going to
let him go?

These are my father's last days.

I can't harm Jacob.

What hurts you hurts me.

You're my brother-in-law.

I cannot have his death
on my head.

Of course not.

Esau.

I am the lord,

the god of Abraham
and your father, Isaac.

I will give this land to you
and your descendants.

They will be as countless as the

specks of dust on the ground.

And you will spread far and wide

to west and east,
to north and south.

All the families of the earth
will long to be blessed

as you and your descendants
are blessed.

I shall be with you
to protect you wherever you go

and I shall bring you back
to this land.

I shall not leave you

until I have done
what I promised you.

If god will be with me,

and if he will protect me
on my journey,

and if I return safely
to my father's house,

then the lord shall be my god.

And of everything he gives me,

I will set aside

a tenth part for him.

What happens
even if I get there?

I have no dowry now!

No means to get a wife!

Tell me!

Yes.

Yes, I will go on.

I've placed my faith in him

who showed me
the gateway to heaven.

My friends! My friends!

Where are you from?

We're from haran.

Oh.

Then I'm here.

God has delivered me.

Do you know, do you know laban,

son of nahor?

Anyone who doesn't
is from a long way off.

Can you take me to him?

She can take you to him.

She's his wife?

She's his daughter.

He's looking for your father.

I will take you to him

once we have watered the flocks.

You are generous
with your strength.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm Jacob.

Son of Rebekah,
your father's sister!

Laban!

Laban!

Labanllaban!

Laban, I must see you now.

Why do fortune tellers
get in such a state?

They are supposed to know
what is going to happen,

aren't they?

When I cast
the stones this morning,

there was a new message:

A presence
will soon be among us,

a presence
that will make us all rich.

Starting with you, isuppose

since you'll want payment
for this prediction.

No, laban, I swear.

Swear it on oath
before my household gods.

I do.

I do so swear.

A great presence is near to us.

Father!

A man at the well. Jacob.

A... a man who... who calls himself

son of Rebekah, your sister.

Really?

Then bring him here, Rachel.

There may be
something to this, after all.

Great wealth
from the son of nomads?

Uncle.

I am Jacob,
son of Isaac and Rebekah,

Your sister.

Great wealth, did you say?

I'd have another look
at your stones, soothsayer.

It's true.

I swore it on your gods, laban.

Sit down, nephew.

Join us in our humble meal.

So, I gather
you were attacked by thieves.

Yes, uncle.

They prey on the caravan routes.

Oh, yes, yes.

We live in lawless times.

Did they take a great deal?

A bride's ransom.

Ah.

You must stay with us
until you get

your strength back.

Then I shall want to hear more.

We all will.

This is morash, my eldest son.

At least they didn't Rob you
of your appetite, huh?

Have the flocks
been counted, be'or?

Ah, this is my second son.

Not yet, father.

Ah, we need more eyes
in the fields.

Well,
perhaps my nephew can help.

I would be honored, uncle.

Good.

Leah will be your guide

Show you our home,
our village, and our fields.

She's my eldest daughter.

I would be grateful
for her help.

It's Jacob's doing.

Whatever he touches flourishes.

How do we know it's him?

It's his doing.

And his god,
to whom he prays nightly.

Tell me, which one?

My prayers must be
as good as his.

It's not a god known to us.

We must keep Jacob here.

He has his eye on Rachel.

And she's noticed him.

Rachel.

Where did you come from?

I had to bring the midday meals.

Leah's not well.

You work too hard.

Oh, this was just an accident.

You push yourself.

Why would a god that makes

everything you touch succeed

want you to struggle?

To make me worthy.

Blessed art thou,
o lord our god,

king of the universe,

who brings forth
the bread from the earth.

Amen.

But one day...

What?

He'll reward me.

How?

With your love.

If he truly cares for me.

I hope my brothers
never hear you

speak like that.

They won't.
Not until the time is right.

It will never be time
until Leah is married.

I can wait.

Don't be afraid.

If we were seen, we'd be stoned.

Don't run away, Rachel. Please.

You know I won't.

I can't.

But we must be careful.

You hear that?

Yes.

It's a sign between the 2 of us

that one of us wants
to speak with the other.

If it is returned,
it means no one is about.

Now is not a good time.

Morash knows

I'm bringing the midday meals.

Jacob,

It's not right

that you should work
for nothing.

Yeah.

Tell me what wages you want.

I don't expect wages, uncle.

Then what made you come here?

Rebekah,
your sister and my mother

wanted me to take
one of your daughters

to be my wife.

Ah.

Why should I give up
something so precious

to a man who has nothing?

I know I come empty-handed,

but I'm a good worker.

Take me as a laborer.

I'll give you 5 years
for Rachel.

It would be a great
break with tradition

to see Rachel
married before Leah.

I'm blood of your blood.

This isn't a marriage
outside of the family.

Yeah, that's true.

And you know I'm a good worker,

which means a good provider.

Everything you touch flourishes.

Then let me work for you.

For 5 years.

10.

So be it.

Stay here and work for me.

I promise you'll
never regret this day.

Why don't you
tell Rachel yourself?

But perhaps she knows already.

You're cheating Leah.

Oh, 7 years is a long time.

We'll worry about it later.

I'm sorry for Leah.

But what pains her
gives me great joy.

And me?

Each morning,
I've been frightened

you'd say it was time to leave.

I will leave,
first thing in the morning

7 years from today.

But I'll never
leave without you.

Whatever Jacob touches

flourishes.

The rain comes on time.

The grass grows like weeds.

It's Jacob's god.

If Jacob leaves,

his god, who is so strong
and bountiful,

will leave with him.

There is a way.

This is not a man

who can be forced.

It needs cleverness.

He must think
he stays by his own choice.

Laban!

Laban!

Jacob.

I've served my time.

I've come for Rachel.

You're... you're very prompt.

You'll keep your word?

Oh, o-o-of course I will.
Of course.

Oh. Ah, we must make plans
for the wedding.

Should we invite anyone
from your family?

Your... your brother, perhaps?

No.

I'll see him soon enough
when I take my bride back.

Back to my own country.

Oh. All in good time.

First, come in.

We must prepare
the wedding feast.

I wish I were dead.

I wish father were dead,

and those ugly gods he worships.

At least Jacob's god stands
for honor and decency.

Then why is he
letting all this happen?

Why is he deserting Jacob now?

What's meant for Jacob
is meant for me

and for you.

It will end as it should.
I have faith in that.

Sit, sit. Come, come.

Where's Leah?

Um, she is in her room.

She's terribly upset.

It's understandable, huh?

The bride awaits her master.

But the room is dark.

A tradition to honor modesty.

The bed chamber must be unlit
on the wedding night.

Rachel?

You?

You?

All night long,
I called you Rachel.

And you answered me.

How did you know the signs?

Rachel had no choice, Jacob.

What else could she do?

One word from you
would've stopped it all!

Have you never wanted
something so badly

that you would deceive
even the people you love

to get it?

God.

My god.

Will my debt never be paid?

Will I never atone?

Where's laban?

Laban!

No, no, no! Don't do anything!

You deceived me!

Give me a reason
not to kill you!

I can explain! Help me! Help me!

Would your god want
my blood on your hands?

Out, out. Everybody out. Out.

Give me a
reason not to kill you!

I can explain!

Help me! Stop him!

I've not deceived you.

Rachel is yours.

You shall have Rachel.
I swear it.

And you ignored
the pain you'd cause

and settled on deception!

No, no, no. Well, not exactly.

We all have to deceive a little.

Leah is now yours.

And once this week
of celebration is over,

I shall give you Rachel
as a bride as well.

I only wanted
one wife, you fool!

But 2 wives speak well of a man.

2 dowries.

They show the world
how rich he is.

What dowries?

You've kept me penniless
for 7 years!

That's not a problem.

You live here with my daughters

and work another 7 years

for your second bride, Rachel.

Huh?

You get the goods in advance,
so to speak.

It seems hard,

but it is the only way
the gods have left you.

There is no other way.

Please don't hate me.

I don't hate you.

Fetch blankets!

Almost here.

You'll soon be blessed
with a fine son.

Now, push again!

Here it comes!
Where are the blankets?

We shall call you Judah,
which means "praise."

And that is what
we must offer god:

Praise for his bounty.

4 sons, my husband.

Do you love me now?

Knife. I win.

Oh, what's going on?

You're never happier, Jacob,

than when your wife
gives you another son.

Leah is a gentle woman.

It would be wrong to punish her

for what your father did.

You're also my wife.

The children are
a gift from god,

a blessing for all of us.

I want to be like her, Jacob.

Please give me children
or I shall die of pain.

I'm not god.

Children aren't mine to give.

But you were chosen by him.

Why does he prefer Leah?

Tell me what to do.

What can I do?

Lie with my slave girl.

Please lie with her,
so she can give birth

on my knees.

Then I will have
a child of my own.

Please do this for me, Jacob.

Bilhah.

It's exactly as I predicted.

While Jacob remains here
his god enriches us all.

I hope we will all remember

who kept Jacob here.

How could we forget, father?

But his second 7
years are nearly up.

How are we going to keep him?

He has no reason to leave now.

He has 7 sons by Leah,

2 from the slave girl, bilhah,

another by Leah's slave girl,
zilpah.

And for good measure,

Leah has given him
a daughter, dinah.

Oh, you've come early
to please an old man.

God has blessed me, father.

What are you talking about?

Father, I am with child.

Rachel's
blessing is a sure sign.

When our child is born,
we will take our leave.

Of course,
I can't stop you going.

But you will be a sorry sight
when you get there.

If you get there at all.

You came empty-handed,

so you must leave empty-handed.

I think you will
find it difficult

to keep your enormous brood
without water or food

on such a long journey.

You want to keep
me here a prisoner?

No, no, no, no. You've earned
dowries for my daughters.

I'm honor-bound to pay you.

Name your price.

No. I don't want your silver,
I don't want your gold.

But...

I want a share in your flocks.

I deserve that.

Go through your entire stock.

Remove all of your black lambs

and all of your speckled goats.

They will be my wages.

But all my sheep are white,
and all my goats are black.

You'll have nothing.

I'll have all I need.

I'm guided by the hand
that showed me

the gateway to heaven.

Then tell me
the story again. Please.

I told laban

that I would go
through his flocks

and pick out every black lamb
and every speckled goat.

They would be my wages.

But laban and his sons cheated

and removed all
the speckled goats

and all the rams
that were black.

Then the angel of god
appeared to me in a dream.

So, I took fresh rods
of poplar and plane trees

and peeled off strips of bark,

exposing the white of the rods.

I put the peeled rods
in the water troughs,

and fixed some of them upright

so that they were facing

the she-goats that were on heat

when they came to drink.

Take the Poles out
when the weaker animals

come to drink.

We want to breed
from the strongest.

They mated in front of the rods,

and gave birth to young

that were striped and spotted
and speckled.

And now you see

why I put my trust in the lord.

It's sorcery.

It's robbery.

And when Rachel has the child...

And the ewes
gave birth to black sheep.

So our wealth has increased.

Your son.

Joseph.

We shall call you Joseph.

That means

"the one who will add
to our people."

Joseph.

Joseph.

Thank you.

Last night, the lord
appeared to me again.

It will soon be time to leave.

I must do as god tells me,

but I cannot force you
to leave your father.

I think we should all do
what god tells you.

Father sold us for profit.

He got his price.

We are worthless to him now.

Then we must wait our chance.

You must shear your sheep
and move your flocks

to the winter grazing.

It's time!

No. I do as god tells me.

Oh, you and your god.

Your flocks will perish
in the winter snow.

The animals will die.

Then you'll be
praying to my god.

Do as you please.

We move our flocks
and return in 6 days.

We leave in 3 days,
when he's farthest from home.

We must be careful.

None of his servants
must know our plan.

We must move faster.

Gilead is still
a good 5 days away.

Will esau be there to meet us?

Once he knows we're near,

I think he'll
certainly be there to meet us.

What's the matter?

He's my brother.

Just as Joseph is yours.

There should never be
bad blood in a family.

But I don't think
your grandfather,

laban would agree.

Fools! Why didn't you send
someone after me?

We did, master,
but you were back

before he found you.

Let's go after him, father.

Let's kill him, and let's
take back the flocks.

No. But the flocks are ours.

Jacob stole them by sorcery!

Oh, you won't defeat
Jacob by force!

We need guidance.

[Gaspsi

I'll follow him
even to his father's tent

and I'll kill him there.

He's no more
than a day's ride ahead.

We pitch camp here
for the night.

Tomorrow, we'll be

in my brother's land.

I'll ride on ahead and set
the trail for the morning.

I'm almost home.

Almost home.

It is you, god of my fathers,

who wins the victories
for your servant Jacob.

It's not the sword
that saved me,

but your guidance and love.

Listen carefully, laban.

Do not lay your hand
on the man I have blessed.

Do Jacob no harm.

You have delivered me
from my adversaries.

You have thrown my enemies
into confusion.

Simeon.

Simeon.

It's laban. He's here!

Hey!

You see? It's easy.
All you need...

Esau!

Esau,

your brother.

My brother.

He's less than 2 days ride away.

Is he alone?

There must be nearly
100 people with him.

Get the men. I want them armed.

We leave now!

What are you waiting for?

You'll do nothing
unless I tell you.

Jacob. Jacob, my son.

What have you done?

We could have
talked it over, huh?

You're a very clever man, laban.

But talking to you
leads to years of servitude.

But why, Jacob,
did you steal my gods?

How can I ignore such an insult?

Your gods?

I didn't steal your gods.

How can you deceive me?

I will never do such a thing.

Search my camp.

Whoever stole your gods
shall die.

This I swear
by everything I hold dear.

Why have you got Joseph?

Rachel's sick.

Oh.

Forgive me
for not getting up, father.

I am as women are once a month.

My dear,

forgive me.

H ave you found anything?

No.

Then let us go.

They are my daughters,
my children, my livestock.

Everything you see is mine!

But I cannot go back with you!

I must go on
until I reach the land

promised to me
by Abraham and Isaac.

I worked all those years

only to make myself
worthy of it.

Then this is where
our paths separate.

I swear I shall not
pass this way again

before god.

Nor shall I cross
beyond this point.

If you ill-treat my daughters,

or betray them with other women,

the god of Abraham
must be yourjudge.

We must offer a sacrifice,

seal our pact.

He's straight ahead of us.

Come on.

We'll take him tomorrow.

We pitch camp here.

But the sun's still high.
We should go on.

We're now in the land of esau.

We go no further
till he and I have

settled our differences.

I want you to prepare
an offering of gifts.

Select the finest
of our lambs and goats,

the best of our ewes
and she-goats,

our very best broadcloth,

and prepare a caravan.

Tzu rim.

I want you to
drive it west to seir.

Find my brother.

Present him with my gifts.

Tell him where I've been
all these years.

Tell him that he is my king

and that what you bring

shows my respect and obedience.

How long do we stay here?

Until the gifts are delivered
and the messengers return.

2 days there and 2 days back.

Then we move on.

But why do we wait?

And why should we give
everything we've worked for

to a brother
you haven't seen in years?

He's been with me
every day I've been gone.

I cannot take you
to the land god promised us

until I make peace with esau.

Why not?

Once, a long time ago,
I wronged esau.

I endured my trials
to prove to god

that I wanted to atone,

that I learned the lessons
that he sent me.

You understand that,
but does esau?

Jacob!

Jacob!

Jacob!

Tzurim?

Jacob!

What happened?

Why are you back so soon?

Your brother, esau.

He must have known
you were coming.

He'll be here by daybreak
with a band of armed men.

Split up into 2 groups.

Divide the goods
and flocks equally.

Then, when I give the order,

one group will follow Rachel
and half my sons,

while the other will go
with Leah and the rest.

Go.

God of Abraham and Isaac.

Save me, I pray,

from my brother esau.

I fear he will
come and destroy me,

sparing neither
mother nor child.

Deliver me

so that I can fulfill
your promise.

That my descendants will be

like the sand of the sea:

Beyond all counting.

Who's there?

Esau?

Esau?

Who are you?

Why are you trying to kill me?

If you come from my brother,
take this back as my answer:

You cannot defeat me!

The god of Abraham is with me!

Only he can break me!

Is god with you?

Has he deserted me?

You!

Let go of me.

I could kill you iflchoose.

I won't let go
until you bless me.

I've not come to bless you,
but to make sure

that you don't escape.

Now, let me go.

Not until you bless me.

Isn't that why
the lord sent you?

Now, give me your blessing!

What is your name?

Jacob!

Your name shall
no longer be Jacob,

but Israel,

because you have
striven with god

as well as with men,

and you have prevailed.

Esau.

Father, what happened?

Get back!

He must meet me first, alone.

Brother.

Suddenly, I'm his brother again.

Why did you run from me
all these years?

I wronged you.

I feared you would
take your revenge.

It would have been just.

Even he admits it.

Admits it humbly.

I beg your forgiveness.

Damn you.

I came here to punish you.

I wanted to take
your possessions

and leave you penniless.

I wanted to take your people

and leave you with
no one to love you.

I have waited
years for this day.

But now I'm here.

I feel the hand
of Abraham and Isaac.

I can't harm you.

And these children...

They're the children
god has blessed me with.

God has blessed you, indeed.

Now, come with me to seir

and live with me in peace.

I sheathe my sword.

We need time to rest.

To gather ourselves.

Go on ahead.

We'll soon follow.

Very well.

You'd better take shelter.

A storm is coming.

Get ready to leave.

Leaving now?

Why didn't we go with esau?

Because we aren't going to seir.

We aren't going to join esau.

Esau and I must go
our separate ways.

Each of us has been promised
a mighty nation.

Look at Joseph.

He's showing us the way.

This way!

And Jacob arrived safely

at the town of shechem in canaan

and pitched his
tent to the east of it

on a strip of land he purchased

from hamor, prince of shechem,

for 100 sheep.

He erected an altar

and called it ei-e/ohe-Israel

for god, the god of Israel,

the name that had been given
to him.
