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.

00:00O the most merciful of merciful, where now is the gift you bestowed upon me?
00:25The great do not take back the gifts they have given.
00:32Please return, my Joseph.
00:36Please return to me, my Joseph.
00:55May God keep you safe wherever you are.
01:17I am certain you are alive.
01:24Ask our children once again what they have done with Joseph.
01:54Perhaps they will confess to their mistake and tell the truth.
02:01Why are you so certain Joseph is not dead?
02:08Two reasons.
02:11First, the shirt had not been torn by the wolves.
02:17And second, my heart has never lied to me.
02:24Very well.
02:26Although I am not hopeful, I'll ask them again.
02:52I want them to confess to their sin and repent.
03:00And then God may forgive them.
03:04I have already told you we didn't see it.
03:08We're sure the wolves killed Joseph.
03:11How often must we say it?
03:12Even if you say it a thousand times, you'll still have lied.
03:18If you were still children, I'd flog you.
03:21If the wolves had killed Joseph, why is his shirt intact?
03:26We don't know either.
03:28It is also a mystery to us.
03:31I curse all of you.
03:33You are all liars.
03:35The wolves did not do it.
03:37It was a different kind of wolf.
03:40You are the wolves.
04:01I know.
04:04Again they say the wolves killed Joseph.
04:10I hope they come to their senses before it's too late.
04:35I hope they come to their senses before it's too late.
04:49I hope they come to their senses before it's too late.
05:10They cook, they do house chores, and they're good wives.
05:19They will work for you for many years.
05:23This one is very obedient.
05:53Malek.
06:11Don't sell him.
06:17My heart tells me not to sell him, but you saw it for yourself.
06:22He wants to be sold.
06:28How much is that boy there?
06:34I don't know how to sell slaves.
06:36I just know he's beautiful, clever, and literate.
06:41He has other skills, too, that raise his price.
06:44I won't sell him cheaply.
06:47He could be a good servant for the temple.
06:50And as a priest, maybe attract people to the temple in the future.
06:55Try to buy him.
06:57Shall I start with 50 debon?
07:01How about 50 debon?
07:03Your Excellency, his price is much higher.
07:07100 debon.
07:09Much more even than that.
07:13A little, but works much.
07:44We must congratulate Excellency Potiphar on his good taste.
07:48He has chosen the best place to buy slaves.
07:51Welcome.
07:53I hope I may satisfy you with these slaves.
07:59Look, he can work like two horses.
08:02How much?
08:04200 debon.
08:06Now this one here is as shimmy as a sheep.
08:09I'll only give you 100 debon.
08:11Excellency, they are worth more.
08:14They are worth much more.
08:42He is so beautiful and innocent.
09:02Do not be sad, Joseph.
09:05Today they will buy you.
09:08But someday you will buy them all.
09:14What do they want from me?
09:17Why are they gathered here?
09:19Beauty exists in everybody, but it is not overt.
09:24The gem of human's existence is being displayed in you.
09:28They are watching the essence and truth of the Joseph of their own self.
09:34Why are they willing to buy my beauty, but not pay attention to the beauty within themselves?
09:41To see the beauty inside themselves requires insight.
09:46But the truth personified in you can be seen even by the simple eye.
09:53Not everybody benefits from insight, but everybody has sight.
10:03Then I am like them.
10:06If they knew the true beauty inside them, they wouldn't be so eager to buy me.
10:12They are not attracted to Joseph.
10:15But rather, they are unknowingly eager to meet God's representative.
10:21Have you heard about the eagerness of the angels to see man?
10:27Two hundred and fifty!
10:33Three hundred!
10:39Three hundred and twenty!
10:42Three hundred and fifty!
10:48Three hundred and eighty-seven!
10:50Three hundred and eighty-five!
10:52Four hundred and seven!
10:54He is worth more than that.
10:57Who will offer more than four hundred?
11:04He is very strong. He can pull the plough alone.
11:10Take him as well.
11:11Very good choice.
11:13All these slaves. Six hundred debon!
11:19Fifty!
11:21Fifty-five!
11:25That is a good deal.
11:27Fifty-five debon!
11:34You have chosen the very best.
11:37Give him three hundred.
11:40But they are worth more than that.
11:44Three hundred and twenty debon!
11:46Three hundred and fifty!
11:48These are the best slaves!
11:55Three hundred and eighty!
11:59Four hundred and eleven!
12:03Fifty!
12:10Move on.
12:30One thousand and ten debon!
12:33One thousand and twenty debon!
12:38Eleven hundred!
12:45Potiphar has joined the auction. What are we going to do now?
12:49Don't let him win. Potiphar must be defeated today.
12:56Twelve hundred debon!
12:59Thirteen hundred debon!
13:03Thirteen hundred debon!
13:05Is there a higher offer?
13:08With that amount of money you could buy ten slaves.
13:12But never mind.
13:14We will try not to lose to Potiphar.
13:21I bid fifteen hundred debon!
13:24I bid fifteen hundred debon!
13:28A bid of fifteen hundred debon.
13:30Is there a higher offer?
13:35This is shameful.
13:37As if they're buying and selling goods.
13:41If they knew this child,
13:43they would know even a mountain of gold would not be enough.
13:55Two thousand?
13:57Three thousand.
14:00Three thousand?
14:06Three thousand!
14:08Three thousand debon!
14:10His Excellency Potiphar, the governor of Egypt, offers three thousand debon!
14:17Excellency Potiphar has offered three thousand debon!
14:20Who dares to compete with Excellency Potiphar?
14:24Congratulations!
14:26The slave is yours!
14:31I assure you that you have bought a polite, knowledgeable, and literate slave.
14:37In addition to that, he is auspicious.
14:40He has been sold to His Excellency Potiphar.
14:54Move!
15:04Move!
15:16They will work very hard for you! Very hard!
15:21The best slaves are here!
15:24The best slaves are here!
