The Bible Collection - Jacob (1994)

Description

A STORY OF LOVE - FOR A WOMAN, FOR A BROTHER, AND FOR GOD. For seven long years, Jacon has lebored to earn the right to marry beautiful Rachel. Now the seven years are up - but Rachel's devious father substitutes his elder daughter on the wedding night. Matthew Modine (Full Metal Jacket) and Lara Flynn Boyle (Men in Black II) play Jacob and Rachel in one of the greatest love stories from the Bible. Highlights of Jacob's life - how he usurped his brother Esau's birhtright and blessing, the pillow of stone, the ladder to heaven, wrestling with God - are set against the heartache and hope of his relationship with the woman he seems never to possess. Sustained by his faith in God and his love from Rachel, Jacob preseveres...and becomes the father of the 12 tribes of Israel.
