Prophet Jacob guides the Israelites to pray to the One and Only God. God annunciates to him about the next prophet, who will be from his own generation. One night, his son, Joseph, dreams about the sun, the moon and eleven stars which kneel in front of him. He tells Jacob, who advises him not to tell his brothers about the dream. Prophet Joseph is dear to Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. For centuries, the story of his life has been told over and over in many different ways and in many different languages. This is the Iranian version of a very beloved story.

00:00We can't take this shirt to father as it is.
00:27Surely he would ask where the blood is if the wolf killed Joseph.
00:58Do not worry. They aren't late yet.
01:03They have always returned in daylight before the sun has set.
01:08Today they are late.
01:11I'm sure they've simply forgotten the time playing with Joseph.
01:27I'm sure they've forgotten the time playing with Joseph.
01:57I'm sure they've forgotten the time playing with Joseph.
02:27I'm sure they've forgotten the time playing with Joseph.
02:57Judah, where is Joseph?
03:23Joseph!
03:26Be quiet.
03:29Judah, Simeon, Reuben, I'm talking to you.
03:35Be quiet, I said.
03:48Father.
03:55Father.
04:01Father, father.
04:04God help you if something happens to father.
04:08Father, father.
04:11Father, father.
04:14Where is Joseph?
04:19Get up, prophet of God.
04:26Father.
04:32What happened, Levi?
04:47What happened, Judah?
04:50Where is Joseph?
04:52What happened, Levi? What's happened to Joseph?
04:58Why don't you talk?
05:01By God, our sorrow is not less than Joseph's father's.
05:06We wish we had died so we wouldn't have to return with such news.
05:10What happened?
05:11You must have a heart of stone to bear it.
05:15How can it even be told?
05:19I can bear anything that you have to say.
05:24But tell me, what happened to my Joseph?
05:29We don't know exactly what did happen.
05:33We weren't there when disaster struck.
05:36We were playing and enjoying ourselves.
05:39We had forgotten the passage of time.
05:41Suddenly we realized the day had gone and we were separated from Joseph.
05:52As Joseph couldn't run and play like us, we left him beside our clothes and belongings.
05:59We rushed back to Joseph, but we couldn't find any sign of him.
06:06Our things were there.
06:08Our things were there.
06:11But Joseph wasn't.
06:15We found only his bloody shirt.
06:21Joseph!
06:27Is there any part of my Joseph's body so that I may mourn over it,
06:33or bury him in the ground, or make a shrine for him?
06:41We searched everywhere, but we only found this.
06:47His shirt.
06:50The wolves had devoured his entire body.
07:03Yes.
07:06By God, it's my Joseph's shirt.
07:12I can still smell him.
07:17Joseph!
07:19Joseph!
07:25My brother Joseph!
07:29Joseph!
07:31Joseph!
07:40What did they do to you?
07:43Don't worry.
07:48Why do I tell my sister?
07:52She trusted me with her children.
07:55My children!
07:58May the wolves that killed you be cursed!
08:03How can I endure it?
08:26Joseph!
08:37When the wolves attacked Joseph, was he wearing this shirt?
08:43Yes. Yes.
08:48Then the wolf who devoured him was a very kind one.
08:55It tore his body, but not his shirt.
09:12This is just as the prophet of God's dream, in which wolves were chasing a child.
09:20No. No. Joseph wasn't hurt by any wolves.
09:25This shirt is proof of that.
09:30Judah.
09:32If the wolf devoured Joseph, why didn't it rip his shirt?
09:37Why is the shirt intact?
09:41We didn't notice that. We just saw the blood.
09:44It is strange, Mother.
09:47Why is the shirt intact?
09:49You're right. How is that possible?
09:52What happened, Simeon?
09:55Tell the truth!
09:56We aren't sure exactly.
09:59We are just as confused.
10:08I don't know what really happened, or what you've done to my son.
10:15But what happened was the result of your carnal soul.
10:19And your very carnal soul displayed to you as good what you did.
10:25There is no doubt Satan helped with this.
10:30Father, like you, we don't know what happened.
10:33It isn't our fault!
10:35You've breached your promise to us.
10:37You should have looked after him, Judah.
10:40Go out now. Find him and bring him back.
10:45We searched everywhere, Mother.
10:47Where else can we look for him?
10:49I said find him.
10:51And you will find him tonight.
11:05Let's go, everybody.
11:07We must think of a way to find Joseph.
11:29Do you see what a disaster you have created, children of Israel?
11:34It's your fault.
11:36If we killed him and brought his body back, everything would be perfect.
11:41It's not too late.
11:43We can still go and do it now.
11:46I should never have gone with you.
11:49If you move a finger, I will reveal everything to Father.
11:53All right, all right.
11:56What do we do then?
11:58Father doesn't believe us.
12:00Of course he doesn't. You can't deceive him.
12:03Forget telling Joseph.
12:07Go and tell some more lies.
12:10Perhaps Father will believe you.
12:36Abraham
12:50Greetings to the heir of Adam.
12:53Greetings to the heir of Noah.
12:56Greetings to the heir of Abraham.
12:59Greetings to the heir of Adam.
13:02Greetings to the heir of Noah.
13:06Greetings to the heir of Abraham.
13:10Greetings to the heir of Adam.
13:12Greetings to the heir of Noah.
13:15Greetings to the heir of Abraham.
13:19Greetings to the heir of Isaac and Jacob.
13:24Greetings to the heir of Adam.
13:27Greetings to the heir of Noah.
13:31Greetings to the heir of Abraham.
13:35Greetings to the heir of Isaac and Jacob.
13:40Greetings to Joseph, the honest.
13:47And greetings to you too. Who are you?
13:59I am here to protect and soothe you.
14:02I am the courier of God Almighty.
14:05I am here to protect you and sympathize with you.
14:11My brothers threw me into this well and left.
14:14They tormented me and beat me.
14:19I know.
14:21But your wounds healed by the will of God.
14:33How will the wounds in my heart ever heal?
14:36They tyrannized me.
14:39Do you request their punishment?
14:42No, no.
14:44They're my brothers and I love them.
14:48But why were they so hostile to me?
14:52What wrong had I done them?
14:55Your brothers have established a heinous trend.
14:58The cruelty of the children of Israel to you and their father will now
15:03be repeated by their children to other prophets.
15:09They will torment numerous prophets and murder many of them.
15:14No prophet will be safe from them.
15:19I'm worried about them.
15:21They must repent.
15:25And you will force them to.
15:27In the very near future,
15:31you will rule over your brothers
15:34and then you will punish them.
15:37Please don't leave me.
15:43I'm scared.
15:46Joseph must become used to hardship.
15:51And don't forget,
15:53Joseph will not fly to the highest peak of glory unless he falls deep into the well.
16:01My father told me of my prophethood.
16:07When will that promise be realized?
16:10You are not here in the well's depths.
16:13You are under God's protection.
16:16And that promise shall be realized soon.
16:20But beware, Joseph.
16:22God has created you for prophethood and leadership,
16:26not for the well's depths.
16:29Beware, Joseph.
16:31God has created you for prophethood and leadership,
16:35not for the well's depths.
16:38Come back, courier of God.
16:40Where are you?
