[Jacob] I'm here looking
for my uncle Laban.

-He's my father.
-Cousin!

An eligible bachelor!

What a man!
I love him!

You take my daughter's hand
in marriage.

Will you marry me... Rachel?

[Leah] You've broken my heart.

You cannot love him
like I do.

Perhaps there's a way
to keep them here

for another
seven years.

[Jacob] She did this
to trap me!

In the eyes of the world,
Leah and I are married.

Swear you won't treat her
as your real wife.

[Jacob] It'll just be
you and me.

Jacob, we're going
to have a son.

[Leah crying out in pain]

[woman] Good, Leah!

Push!
One more!

-[Leah screaming]
-[woman] Good, Leah!

A little more!

I know, I know.

The baby is the fruit
of your sister's deception,

but here we are.

No, no, it's not
the babe's fault.

I shall still be
a loving aunt.

-[Leah screaming]
-[baby crying]

[Jacob chuckles]

That's my son.

A hearty arrival
into this world.

If you're staying away for me,
you don't have to.

This is important.

-[baby crying]
-You're certain?

Yes.
Go be a father.

His name's Reuben.

Reuben.

This is the happiest day
of my life.

[soft dramatic music]

[Leah] Jacob promised Rachel
that nothing would alter

their love or life together.

You be good
for your mother.

[Leah] But my life was realized
the moment our child was born.

My dreams came into focus...

as hers began to fade.

I felt her pain.

[music continues]

[thunder rumbling]

Hour by hour,
day by day,

Jacob and I spun
towards one another

until we were one.

Lord, bless my son Reuben

on his first birthday.

Make him strong,
to live a life in your service.

[thunder rumbling]

[soft dramatic music]

[lyre notes plucking]

[chuckles]

[discordant notes]

[Laban] Oh,
what a talent, huh?

[Laban laughing]

What are you making?

-A toy for Reuben.
-Aww!

That's most kind, sister,

when it must be hard to see
Jacob and Leah's closeness.

[Acar] Yes, they are looking
quite the happy little family.

[Rachel] I've hardly noticed.

Besides, they have
a child together.

It's impossible for them
to not share a closeness.

But it's me Jacob loves.

It's my tent where
he spends his nights.

She's getting rather testy.

Mm-hmm.

Perhaps her monthly
friend is visiting.

Move away!
Move away!

[both laughing]

[Laban] Oh, here.

I call upon
my household gods

to bless my beautiful
grandchild.

And I brought one for you

to place upon your hearth.

Um, Reuben has been
blessed already

by Jacob's God,
the Lord Himself.

Your daughter understands.

My God is very
important to me.

Our God.

I believe in Him too.

[Laban] Yeah.

Yes, our God.

And my descendants shall
continue in our faith.

Hmm.

These households gods
were handed down to me

from my father
to his father before that.

Please don't take offense.

I know you mean well.

Huh.

How can I take offense
when you have given me

the most perfect grandson?

[laughter]

He has brought
so much joy to my life.

[laughter]

Clever Reuben.

He'll be playing
with us next.

[Reuben cooing]

Good boy.

You won't be gone too long?

Uh, only a few weeks,
I imagine.

There's quite a handful
of merchants to trade with

along the main road who have
interest in our wool.

Well, I hope your brothers
and the shepherds

you're traveling with
keep you safe.

I would come
were it not for Reuben.

[Rachel sighs]

I was thinking.

When I return,
it might be high time

for me to focus my efforts
less on family business

and more on starting
a family with you.

Yes, we do need
to move faster

if you're to bear
my next 11 children.

Yes, your magical 12.

-[Reuben laughing]
-[soft lyre music]

Zilpah.

[gasps]
Good night.

They're like little stars.

Reminds me of the vision I had
on my way to Harran,

when I saw the angels.

They were far away.

Ethereal, difficult
to behold with the eye,

but at the same time,
bright and beautiful.

I wish I could've seen it.

I remember when you
told us that story

the first time we met.

I was so impressed that
God Himself had spoken to you.

I haven't heard the Lord's voice
in a long time,

but I often reach out
to the memory of that vision

in difficult moments.

You're a man of deep faith.

It's what drew me to you.

I've lost track of time.
I should leave.

Must you?

You know Rachel wouldn't
appreciate me

tarrying in your tent.

Playing family with you,

spending time together,

our late-night conversations.

Sometimes I wonder
if you might not love me too.

Leah, it's not
what you think.

I... I love...

I love the life
that you have given me.

Should that not be enough?

Husband!

Miss me?

Oh, you have no idea!

Let's go make a baby then.

[both laughing]

Two cycles
and still not pregnant.

Guess we'll
have to keep trying.

What?

There's no pleasant way
to tell you this.

But when you were gone
a few months ago,

I spent a night
with your sister.

And now she's pregnant.

Are you ever going
to forgive me?

It's been a week, Rachel,
and you've hardly said

two words to me.

Do you think that's
sufficient time

to stop being angry when I am
to be cruelly reminded

for the next nine months
of your indiscretion

every time I look
at Leah's swollen belly?

It is not an indiscretion!

Leah is also my wife!

This is not
what we agreed on.

Oh, the agreement
to act as if Leah

isn't a part
of this family?

It doesn't work!

You are the love
of my life, Rachel.

It hurts me to hurt you.

But the truth is,
I care for Leah too.

She is the mother
of my child!

Soon to be children.

How she must have
manipulated you.

Fallen into your arms,

sobbing over
her loneliness,

going on about how
I've wronged her!

She has rights too
as my wife.

And I can no longer pretend
that she doesn't exist,

or that we are not
truly married

when we share so many intimate
moments together as parents.

You can't possibly
understand.

Why won't I understand?
Because I'm not a mother?

What are you doing?

There's only one way
to fix this problem.

I clearly have a lot
of catching up to do.

Hey.

[Leah] With each child
born to Jacob and I,

my life grew fuller
and fuller.

I had everything
Rachel wanted.

My sister was always strong,
sure, unshakeable.

[laughter and chatter]

But she was bending under
the weight of disappointment.

[Jacob] Aah!

Reuben, would you come
help me in the kitchen?

And one can only bend
so much before one breaks.

What is it?
What's wrong?

Jacob, please give me children
or I shall die.

It's been six years!
I can't bear it any longer!

We're trying
everything we can.

-I want this so badly too-
-Do you?

Because you seem
perfectly content

to have an entire brood
of my sister's children!

How can you say
such a thing?

I am desperate to have
a child with you!

But am I
in the place of God,

who has chosen
to deny you a babe?

No, you're the one who has
denied me a chance

to catch up with Leah!

It is painful enough that
you can't stop sleeping

with my sister, but she
seems to become pregnant

when you even
cast an eye upon her!

You asked for 12 children.

You already have eight
and none of them are by me!

Then tell me, Rachel,
what would you have me do?

Stop bedding my sister
or I will stop bedding you.

The serpent approached Eve
and told her to eat

of the fruit of knowledge,

that her eyes shall open,

and she'll know good
from evil.

Ah, but I must leave you
in suspense.

It is time for sleep.

-Come on, my sons.
-[children laughing]

My bed grows cold
these days, husband.

Keep me company tonight.

I would, but I can't.

Your sister had me swear that I
would no longer visit your tent.

Be patient, Leah.

Look what Reuben found, sister.

-Are those mandrakes?
-Yes.

And it's said
that mandrake roots,

when made into a tea, can help
those struggling to conceive.

I've heard of such
a rare root.

Give it here.

I see.

You're after something.

What will you have
in exchange then?

One night with Jacob.

You want me to trade Jacob
for your son's mandrakes?

What's one night for something
that could give you the babe

that you've wanted
above all else?

Fine.
One night.

Hello, husband.

Don't be alarmed.

Rachel knows.

She and I made
an arrangement.

Sister.

I must speak with you.

Oh, I'm not quite sure
how to say this.

Um...

I am with child again.

Again?

Then you won.

Another babe.

My little gamble
with the mandrakes

did not work
so well for me.

God favors you indeed.

I'm sorry.
I cannot imagine

the pain that you
must be in.

Please don't pretend
to feel sorry for me.

I know my failures must be
a great joy to you.

They are not.

I... I have borne Jacob
many children.

I'm content.

Being a mother
of a large family

is all I've wanted
for a long time.

How wonderful for you.

My dear sister,
I have had quite enough

of this rivalry
over the years.

This child shall be my last.

Your last?

Really?

Yes, Rachel.

I love you.

Despite everything.

Two sisters, one heart.
Remember?

I wish to see your desires
come to fruition too.

I want to see you happy.

[Rachel sobbing]

Sister...

I don't know if it's possible
for me to be with child.

We've tried for so long.

Then let me help.

Woman to woman.

I may have given Jacob
his firstborn,

but perhaps you could
give him his youngest.

A child that would be just
as special in his own way.

[Leah] You have always
been self-reliant.

A practical woman.

And you have made your way
so far on reason and resilience.

But... sometimes
don't you feel that...

there are things
on this earth

that cannot be explained
by logic alone?

More and more these days.

We must accept
that not everything

can be within
our control, sister.

The faith in something
godly out there,

that's...

that's what gives me hope.

Come.

Shall we pray?

[dramatic music]

Dear Lord,
I pray for my sister.

That you remember her.

That you open her womb,

giving her what she
and your faithful servant Jacob

have so long desired.

[thunder rumbling]

Oh! Ah!

[all laughing]

Now the only thing to wish for
is a healthy and easy pregnancy.

[Rachel straining]

She's looking very pale.

Oh, stay with us.
Stay with us.

The baby's nearly here.

I'll fetch
some fresh towels.

How is she?

She- she's doing
the best that she can,

but, Jacob, our mother died
giving birth to Rachel,

and she seems to be experiencing
similar difficulties.

I can't lose her.

I can't live without her.

I know.

Me neither.

[Rachel screaming]

[screaming echoes]

[baby crying]

Sister, oh, you did it!

You did it!

Rachel!
Rachel, look!

Please, God, no!

Sister, sister!

Oh!
[sobbing]

[baby crying]

[Rachel gasps]

Oh!

Thank God!
Thank God!

My youngest son, Joseph.

Now this is the happiest day
of my life.

[baby cooing]

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

I can't tell if Father's
taking the news well.

He's had a while
to prepare himself.

Jacob and I have always planned
to leave for Canaan

once we're married.

I must say,
I am worried.

-You're always worried.
-But is it safe?

What about Jacob's brother
who wanted to kill him?

Has his anger been assuaged?

He could be putting
our lives in danger,

our family's lives in danger.

And leaving our home

and everything we've
ever known with nothing.

I would never let us
leave with nothing.

I told Jacob
to negotiate with Father.

I've built this family's
fortune sheep by sheep,

and we're deserving
of our share.

As for Jacob's family,

as you've taught me
once, sister,

let me now be the one
to remind you.

We must have faith.

We've spoken and your father
has been quite accommodating.

Though I must say,
it's going to be very hard

to part with my
beloved daughters,

and, frankly, a tragedy.

To be left at home alone
with... those two.

[Laban groans]

He has even been
generous enough

to offer some of the flock.

-Really?
-Yes, of course.

I am very well aware
that I have only been blessed

with good fortune
because of you and Jacob.

But I would like you
to go to the flock

and separate out
both the speckled

and the spotted sheep
and have them for yourselves.

That's a tenth of the herd!

Thank you!
That is generous!

Oh, no.
Speak nothing of it, huh?

What kind of father would I be

if I did not set
my children up for success?

Now, here, look.

Here.

What's this?
[chuckles]

Take that.
Go on.

I don't see a single black
or speckled sheep.

No, neither do I.

We did as you said, Father.

We separated
all the spotted sheep.

And hid them away.

Rachel and Jacob
will never find them.

[Laban] Good, then they
won't be taking anything

that is rightfully ours.

And with nothing
to their name,

I suspect they won't be
leaving Harran either.

My father tricked us.
We can't let him win.

We have a right
to that flock.

I shall go to him
and speak true.

That will get us nowhere.

We can't prove anything,
and if we accuse him now,

he'll simply come up
with another trick.

No, we must bide our time,
regrow the flock,

and trick him right back.

But how are we going
to rebuild the flock

without any black or
speckled sheep to breed with?

Besides, it took me
nearly 20 years

to grow my father's herd.

My love, I will find a way.

I don't know how
I am so certain,

but I promise you it will not
take another 20 years.

Remember, you taught me
everything you know

as the best shepherdess
in Harran.

Even the best shepherdess
isn't capable of miracles.

Trust me.

[soft dramatic music]

[Rachel] Joseph, wait!

Come, sister, come.

Jacob, you have bred
an entire flock out of thin air.

And in only a handful of years.

How?

I took poplar,
almond, and plane,

stripped back the bark
to expose the white underneath,

then put them in the trough,
and set all the white sheep

from your father's flock
to drink from it.

And when they would breed,

all of the lambs
were spotted and speckled.

An unusual methodology,
is it not?

I'd never heard of it.

It was as if I woke up
one morning and just knew.

I believe it was God.

He favored us.

You've come a long way
from the man who hardly knew

how to milk a cow.

Now that we have
our own flock,

how will we
take them with us?

Father will never allow it.

That is why we cannot
tell your father.

What?

We all just sneak away
without even saying good-bye?

Yes, sister.

We must slip away
in the night.

[dramatic music]

-Father-
-[Laban yelps] What?

Father, they're gone.

-Father, they're gone.
-No, who- who's gone?

Jacob, Leah,
and Rachel.

And all of their children,
and the entire camp.

The whole place is empty.

And they've made off
with half of our flock.

All the black
and spotted sheep.

Leaving us with a very small
and weak herd.

They've profited off of us.

They've fooled us, took what was
ours right out from under us!

[Laban screaming]

No, they tricked me!

Their own father!

No, we'll go to town.
Gather up your men.

We will give chase
and take everything back!

By force, if necessary!

Go, get your men!

-Go!
-Go!

[dramatic music]

Why are Father's idols
hidden in your saddle?

I snuck into his camp
before we left and I stole them.

Why?

Our father and brothers
will have discovered

our absence by now and
are surely giving chase.

When they catch us,
and they will catch us,

they'll seize our flocks
and send us away empty-handed.

I can't let that happen.

Father is so very attached
to the idols,

and our brothers
want them for themselves.

This will only
antagonize them.

That's exactly what
I'm counting on.

Just trust me.

We need a contingency plan,
and this is it.

And say nothing
of this to Jacob.

[music continues]

[Laban] Whoa!
Whoa!

Here.

Jacob.
Jacob, you-

you left without
saying a word.

You think it's right to take
away a man's daughters

like captives of the sword
in the night?

You are here to take
what is rightfully ours.

How can you say this?

You are the one
that cheated me!

If you're speaking
of our herd,

then we have a right to every
creature that we've taken.

I don't think
your brothers or our men

are going to agree with that.

And besides,
there is also the matter

of the household idols.

You do know, don't you,
that it is a sinful offense

to take a man's gods
from him?

Not to mention
the familial significance.

Those idols have
always been held

-by the leader of our family.
-Yes.

I have not taken your
precious household gods.

That would be a sin indeed.

[Laban] Oh,
who did it then, huh?

I think you're nothing
but a common thief.

Search our
belongings yourself,

and if you find anyone here
that has stolen your gods,

I swear that they
shall not live.

Oh!

Oh, I will hold you
to that promise.

Sister, I can hardly breathe.

They're going to find
the camel's saddle.

[Laban] Search the tents!
I want those idols found!

This is the last tent
in the camp.

It's mine and Rachel's.
You won't find them here.

There's nothing here, Father.

[Laban] No.

The only place we haven't
searched is your persons.

Hmm?

Up.

I'm sorry, Father.

Please don't be angry,

but I cannot rise
before you.

The ways of women
are upon me.

-Ugh.
-Hmm.

No, Father, we cannot touch her
during her, um, lunations.

It would be much
too unpleasant.

Ah, no matter, because
we will not be leaving

before the idols turn up.

In the meantime, my sons,
round up the livestock.

Come.

Uh, brother, why don't
I show you where the sheep are?

You'd be hard-pressed
to find them.

[rooster crowing]

[Laban] Turning into
a fine old morning.

I think that I slept rather well
for a man on the road.

Well, why are you
all so glum?

Shouldn't there be some cheer
when one is with family?

Perhaps we would have
more cheer, sir,

if you had not overstayed
your welcome.

-Father! Father!
-Yes?

We were rounding up
the livestock when Birham fell,

and there they were,
the household idols

tumbling out of his pocket!

I never- I didn't-
I never touched them.

[Laban] What?

You're trying to set me up
to look bad in Father's eyes.

We all know you'd love to be
named patriarch of this family

and claim
my rightful inheritance!

I have every right to be
the patriarch of this family

if Father wishes to
bequeath me the idols.

I am the eldest son!

[onlookers gasp]

[Birham shouts]

[Birham] I have
every right, brother!

You better run, brother,
while you still can!

-I'm gonna catch you!
-[man] After them!

[Acar] Come back here!

Get your horses!

What did you say
earlier, sir?

That you'd be leaving
once the idols were found?

You framed our brother.
You were right.

It did antagonize them.

Oh, sister,
you have saved our lives.

[horses stampeding]

[men shouting]

[Leah] We made the last of our
long-anticipated journey

to Jacob's home,
to our new lives.

I'd been afraid that
family strife might greet us.

That we'd be met with
resentment, anger, and swords.

But what we found was
reconciliation and forgiveness,

love with our new family
and fresh purpose.

Sister, can you believe it?
Canaan.

It's everything I've imagined.

[Leah] At last,
we were home.

[soft dramatic music]

[laughter]

Is that how you prevailed over
the angel of the Lord, Father?

[Jacob grunting]
It was, Joseph.

We wrestled till
the break of day,

when I finally prevailed,

though it did not come
without pain.

The man broke my hip.

But still, I didn't let him go
until he blessed me.

Your father came
face to face with God,

who gave him his
new name, Israel.

[children gasp]

[Leah] Rachel and I
were content in Canaan.

Our sisterhood was strong
and so was our family.

But Jacob's dream of 12 sons
never faded in my mind.

I could not ignore
the desire.

And neither could she.

Why do you have mandrakes?

Are you trying
to have another child?

You are, aren't you?

Leah, I've only ever been able
to bear one child,

when I have always
wanted several.

But I was never blessed.
Not like you.

And you're nearly past
the ways of women.

If anyone should carry
another child, it's me!

Rachel, you nearly died
giving birth to Joseph.

You would be risking your life.
You can't do it.

I can and I shall.

It would be worth the risk.

Then we shall see
who bears the 12th son.

[Rachel screaming]

[screaming continues]

I'm scared.

I'm here.
I'm here.

[screaming]

Hmm.

I'm not going to
make it, am I?

Please, sister.

Please stay with us.

You were right.

You told me it was too dangerous
to have another baby.

Oh, I...

I let my jealousy
get the best of me.

It will haunt me forever
if this costs you your life.

I played my part
in this too.

But I look
at our beautiful family

and my beautiful son,

and I think...

it was all worth
the sacrifice, wasn't it?

Every tear and every
painful moment.

God has a destiny
for us all.

I love you.

Two sisters, one heart.

[somber music]

Promise me...

you'll raise my son
as if he were your own.

I promise.
I promise.

His name is Benjamin.

[baby fussing]

My youngest and last.

A child of sorrow.

But also strength.

Life is much too short,
is it not, my love?

I could have spent
eternity with you.

[Leah] Rachel said God
has a plan for each of us,

and that sometimes
it would be far too great

for us to understand.

She was right.

[lively music and cheering]

Benjamin was
always ravenous.

You could never feed
that boy enough.

I need to remove my aunt before
she tells that awful story again

about how I became
violently ill

eating that cursed
goat's medicine.

[laughter]

You're supposed to tell stories
that will make me more appealing

to my soon-to-be wife,
not less.

Let me have my fun.

Aunt, do you...

do you think Mother was
watching over our merriment?

I'm sure of it.

Nights like these, I can almost
feel her here with us.

I, um...

I brought this with me.

It's all I have of her.

That's not true.

You have her eyes.

You have her smile.

But most of all,
you have her courage.

And she would be so proud
of the man that you are today.

Son.

It's time.

[applause]

You outdid yourself.

Rachel would've loved it.

Would she have, or would she
have rather been hiding

with the sheep than dealing
with all of the gossiping wives

and floral arrangements?

[both laugh]

I miss her so much.

[Leah] I do too.

She would want us
to be joyful tonight.

She would tell us that this
is exactly as we dreamed,

as God promised.

And that our descendants
number as many as the stars.

[Jacob chuckles]

Maybe not as many
as the stars.

Not yet, but one day,
they will.
