Joseph: King of Dreams

It's taking so long.

Look at yourself, Father.

You would think this was your first child.

Tell me, were you this nervous when I was born?

Well, yes and no.

It was different with your mother.

But with Rachel, we gave up hope.

We were told she could never have children.

Father! It's a boy!

- Father, it's a boy! - It's a boy.

- My boy! -

Can you believe it? Rachel had a baby.

I guess it is a miracle.

O God, who is the Father of us all,

you have blessed me with a gift

beyond all measure.

Within a barren wife,

amid the twilight skies of my life,

you've placed a treasure.

- Look at you. - Joseph.

Ah. Ooh.

Come with me, Joseph.

[insects chirping, nightingales twittering]

[breathes heavily, grunts]

- -

- Hey. -

- No! Stop! - What's wrong?

- What's going on? - What did he say?

Oh, it's Joseph.

- What's the matter - It was wolves!

There were wolves everywhere.

Coming out of the shadows. I was surrounded.

- They were all around me and-- - That's it?

- You woke us... for a dream? - Ooh!

Quiet down! You want to scare the sheep?

- The sheep. The ram. -

- The wolves killed the ram. -

It was dead. I don't understand.

It all seemed so real.

- Everything is fine, Joseph. - It's over.

There's nothing to worry about.

And, you boys, since you're up,

make yourselves useful.

Get to work before sunup.

- Thanks. -

Joseph, where do you think you're going?

Um, I, uh--

- You have studies. -

But, Father, I wanna go with them.

Look. You know they have their work

- and you have yours. - But why?

Because you do.

Because you're a miracle child.

For you, things are different.

You've said that all my life. I don't want to be different.

I want to be like them.

Joseph, God has a plan and a purpose for you.

You're not like the rest of us.

I've worked this earth all my life,

just as my father and grandfather did before me...

and as your brothers will after me.

That won't be your future.

Jacob, even God rested on the seventh day.

He'll find his future soon enough.

Let him be with his brothers.

Please?

Go on.

Thanks.

Be safe!

Judah! Simeon!

- Hmph! Look who's here. - The miracle child.

What are you doing here?

Don't you have some scrolls to read or something?

Here, let me do that.

Joseph, wait, wait! You have to be very careful.

You might cut your hands on the soft fur.

- Get away! -

- I... I just want to help. - You've helped enough.

Thanks to you, we'll work an extra hour today.

You're not tired because you got up early.

It's because you were out all night.

Why, you little sneak. What do you know?

I know about everything-- the women and the drinking.

There's a lot Father doesn't know.

- You wouldn't. - He would.

- The little brat. - Aah!

If you say one word, I'll wring your skinny neck.

Stop it!

If Father sent him, we should be happy for his help.

Maybe he can do your work, Simeon.

- Huh! Somebody should. -

Besides, there is something Joseph can do.

- What's he doing? - I don't know.

Shh!

While we round up the strays, can you watch the herd for us?

- Of course. - Good.

We'll be back soon. Let's go.

Maybe we should split up. You go over there.

Hey! What are you doing? Hey!

- -

[brothers laughing, chattering]

- Hey, come on! - Look at him.

- Whoo-hoo! -

- Get him. - You're too heavy.

- -

- - What?

Are you making fun of me too?

- -

Hey!

Hey, come back!

- - Huh?

Get away! Get away!

Gotcha!

- Get away! -

- -

Joseph, are you hurt?

Father!

Your brothers, where are they?

I asked you a question!

They're-- They're, uh--

They-- They went swimming.

- Swimming? -

- What happened? - This is how you take charge?
