• 02:03 WE'VE TAUGHT IT IN THE PAST.
• 02:04 PEOPLE LOVE IT AND WE SIMPLY DRAMATIZED IT

• 02:09 IT'S BEAUTIFUL, ELEGANT, AND SPIRITUAL.
• 02:11 SO SIT BACK AND ENJOY THE "BELOVED THIEF."
• 02:21 BEHOLD THE BRIDEGROOM COMETH.
• 02:24 GO YE OUT TO MEET HIM.
• 02:25 OF ALL THE WONDERFUL PROMISES IN THE BIBLE,
• 02:28 THAT MAY BE THE MOST WONDERFUL OF ALL.
• 02:31 I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A BIBLE STORY NOW,
• 02:34 MORE THAN A STORY.
• 02:35 I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A BIBLE SECRET.
• 02:38 I HAVE THE BIBLE HERE,
• 02:38 THE PART WRITTEN BEFORE MESSIAH CAME
• 02:41 AND THE PART WRITTEN AFTER.
• 02:42 WHAT WE'VE COME TO CALL THE OLD TESTAMENT
• 02:45 AND THE NEW TESTAMENT.
• 02:46 OUR SUBJECT IS LOVE AND MARRIAGE,
• 02:48 HOW TWO PEOPLE BECOME ONE.
• 02:50 AND AFTER THESE ROMANTIC PROCEEDINGS,
• 02:52 IF YOU CONCLUDE THAT >>THE TWO BIBLES ARE REALLY ONE,
• 02:55 WELL, OUR TIME WON'T HAVE BEEN WASTED.
• 02:58 AND THE TIME OF OUR LOVE STORY
• 03:00 IS THE LAST TIME THE ISRAELITES
• 03:02 WERE IN THEIR PROMISED LAND,
• 03:03 SOME 1900 YEARS AGO.
• 03:05 A RUSHING, MIGHTY WIND HAS >>JUST BLOWN THROUGH THEIR LAND.
• 03:08 A PENNILESS PREACHER FROM A SMALL TOWN OF GALILEE
• 03:12 HAS COME AND GONE VERY RECENTLY.
• 03:13 AND IF YOU WOULD HAVE ACCUSED >>THAT YOUNG RABBI OF DISRUPTING
• 03:16 SOME LIVES, >>WELL, HE WOULD HAVE THANKED YOU.
• 03:20 OUR STORY IS ALL ABOUT HIS REMARKABLE ENTRANCE AND EXIT.
• 03:24 AFTER ALL, OUR BOOK, >>THE OLD TESTAMENT AND THE NEW,
• 03:28 IS ALL ABOUT HIM.
• 03:30 NOW, CONSIDER THESE FOLKS IN THEIR MARKETPLACE.
• 03:32 MESSIAHS HAVE COME THROUGH THEIR LAND BEFORE
• 03:35 AND THEY'LL COME AGAIN.
• 03:37 NOT EVERYBODY IS AFFECTED, TRUTH TO TELL.

• 06:55 WHAT'S HER NAME?
• 06:57 I DON'T KNOW, BUT SHE COMES
• 06:59 TO THE WELL EVERY DAY ABOUT THIS TIME.
• 07:02 I THINK THAT BOY IS WATCHING YOU.
• 07:05 HE IS?
• 07:06 I'M SURE HE IS.
• 07:09 NO, RACHEL, COME BACK.
• 07:12 MOTHER'S WAITING FOR US.
• 07:17 THE CHOSEN PEOPLE WERE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.
• 07:20 THEY FELL IN LOVE ALL THE TIME.
• 07:22 BUT THEY HAD VERY STRICT RULES.
• 07:23 THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY DATING OR COURTSHIP AS WE KNOW IT.
• 07:27 A YOUNG MAN AND WOMAN DIDN'T GO ANYWHERE ALONE TOGETHER.
• 07:31 IF THEY DID, YOU CAN BELIEVE THEY WERE MARRIED.
• 07:34 IT WASN'T THAT THE ISRAELITES
• 07:36 DIDN'T BELIEVE IN LOVE,
• 07:36 BUT THEY REALLY TRUSTED LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
• 07:39 THE FIRST DATE, AS WE WOULD CALL IT,
• 07:42 WAS A PROPOSAL OF MARRIAGE.
• 07:44 IT DIDN'T BOTHER THEM TO MARRY STRANGERS.
• 07:46 THERE'S A WONDERFUL JEWISH SONG THAT SAYS,
• 07:48 THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU WAS ON OUR WEDDING DAY.
• 07:52 THINK ABOUT THE STORY OF REBECCA.
• 07:54 [ speaking Hebrew ]
• 07:56 REBECCA OUR MOTHER.
• 07:57 WHY, SHE DIDN'T SEE HER >>BRIDEGROOM BEFORE THE WEDDING.
• 07:59 SHE JUST SAW THE GIFTS THAT THE SERVANT BROUGHT.
• 08:02 THE BELIEVERS IN THE MESSIAH >>TODAY ARE IN THE SAME POSITION.
• 08:06 THEY'VE NOT SEEN THE BRIDEGROOM,
• 08:07 BUT THEY SEE THE GIFTS BROUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 08:10 AND THEY'RE WOOED AND WON.
• 08:12 NOW, THERE'S A GREAT LOVE SONG COMING UP.
• 08:14 BUT FIRST, I HAVE TO EXPLAIN
• 08:15 WHAT YOUNG DAVID IS THINKING.
• 08:16 Narrator continues: HE SAW A PRETTY GIRL BY THE WELL.
• 08:20 NOW, HE'LL HAVE TO GO TO HER HOUSE
• 08:21 WITH A REAL CONTRACT OF MARRIAGE AND SOME MONEY.
• 08:25 THEY HAD A BRIDE PRICE, WHICH IS TO SAY IF A FAMILY
• 08:28 RAISED SONS THEY THOUGHT IT HAD NATURAL ADVANTAGES,
• 08:32 WORKERS ON THE PLACE AND SO FORTH,
• 08:34 BUT IF A FAMILY RAISED A DAUGHTER,
• 08:36 WHY, THEY HAD NOTHING BUT LIABILITIES.
• 08:38 SOME OF YOU MEN MAY SYMPATHIZE WITH THAT.
• 08:40 BUT WHEN THOSE GIRLS GOT OLD ENOUGH THAT THE BOYS
• 08:43 CAME AROUND AND WANTED TO MARRY THEM,
• 08:46 WHY, THEY COULD CHARGE A PRICE FOR EACH BRIDE
• 08:48 AND THAT WAY THEY COULD CONSOLIDATE THEIR LOSSES.
• 08:52 BUT FIRST THINGS FIRST.
• 08:53 DAVID HAD TO ACTUALLY PROPOSE TO THAT GIRL
• 08:55 BEFORE ANYBODY SIGNED ANY CONTRACTS OR GOT ANY MONEY.
• 08:59 HE HAD TO VISIT HER HOUSE AND POUR HER A CUP OF WINE.
• 09:03 THAT'S ALL THERE WAS TO IT.
• 09:05 NOBODY SAID ANYTHING LIKE, "WILL YOU MARRY ME?"
• 09:07 HE WOULD JUST VISIT WITH HER FAMILY FOR A WHILE
• 09:10 AND PUT THAT CUP IN FRONT OF HER.
• 09:12 AND SHE COULD DRINK IT OR NOT DRINK IT.
• 09:15 TAKE ALL THE TIME YOU NEED, LADIES,
• 09:18 TWO MINUTES, THREE MINUTES.
• 09:20 BUT EITHER PICK UP THAT CUP AND DRINK IT RIGHT THEN
• 09:23 OR SHE COULD LEAVE IT IF SHE WASN'T READY.
• 09:26 BUT, OF COURSE, SHE HAD TO THINK ABOUT
• 09:28 WHEN THE NEXT CONTRACT WAS COMING.
• 09:31 BUT NOW BACK TO OUR PLAY.
• 09:33 LOOK AT YOUNG DAVID.
• 09:34 Narrator continues: HE'S IN LOVE.
• 09:36 NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT.
• 09:37 HIS LIFE HAS CHANGED FOREVER AND ALL BECAUSE HE SAW HER.
• 09:44 [ music playing ]
• 09:47 ♪ I SAW HER, I SAW HER. ♪
• 09:49 ♪ I SAW HER BY THE WELL. ♪
• 09:50 ♪ THIS MORNING I SAW HER >> AND RIGHT THEN I COULD TELL. ♪
• 09:54 ♪ YOU MAY SAY I'M CRAZY. ♪
• 09:57 ♪ I SWEAR BY GOD ABOVE, ♪
• 09:58 ♪ THE WHOLE WORLD >> IS CRAZY IF THIS ISN'T LOVE. ♪
• 10:06 ♪ A VISION PERFECTED >> LIKE GRAPES OF MOUNT CARMEL. ♪
• 10:09 ♪ SHE SMILED LIKE REBECCA, THAT ANGEL AT THE WELL. ♪
• 10:13 ♪ I COULDN'T FIND MY VOICE WHEN I TRIED TO SAY HELLO. ♪
• 10:17 ♪ HER EYELASHES FELL LIKE THE WALLS OF JERICHO. ♪
• 10:24 ♪ OH, DID YOU SEE HER EYES ♪
• 10:26 ♪ AND DID THEY SPARK LIKE STARS IN JUNE? ♪
• 10:29 ♪ I LONG TO SEE THEM TWINKLE, BEAR HER FACE UP BY THE MOON. ♪
• 10:36 ♪ AND WHEN HE MADE THAT MOON SO BRIGHT, ♪
• 10:40 ♪ DID GOD ABOVE DEVISE A WAY TO LIGHT ♪
• 10:45 ♪ THE EXODUS OR JUST TO SEE THOSE EYES? ♪
• 10:52 [ music playing ]
• 10:58 ♪ I'LL GO TO HER HOUSE ON THIS VERY AFTERNOON. ♪
• 11:04 ♪ I'LL POUR HER A CUP AND YOU'LL SEE THAT VERY SOON. ♪
• 11:10 ♪ I'LL STEAL HER AWAY IN THE NIGHT, ♪
• 11:14 ♪ HER LAMP AFLAME. ♪
• 11:16 ♪ ALONE IN OUR CHAMBER, SHE'LL TELL ME HER NAME. ♪
• 11:26 ♪ I SAW HER, I SAW HER. ♪
• 11:28 ♪ I SAW MY BRIDE-TO-BE. ♪
• 11:31 ♪ THIS MORNING I SAW HER, THE ONLY ONE FOR ME. ♪
• 11:35 ♪ YOU MAY SAY I'M CRAZY, I SWEAR BY GOD ABOVE. ♪
• 11:41 ♪ THE WHOLE WORLD IS CRAZY IF THIS ISN'T LOVE. ♪
• 11:52 DAVID, YOU KNOW THE STORY OF REBECCA,
• 11:55 THE MOTHER OF ALL THE CHOSEN PEOPLE?
• 11:57 SHE NEVER EVEN SAW HER BRIDEGROOM UNTIL THE MARRIAGE.
• 12:01 NO, BUT SHE SAW THE GIFTS HE SENT.
• 12:04 NOW, DAVID, FIRST, YOU MUST GO TO --
• 12:08 TO A -- WHAT IS HER NAME?
• 12:10 HER NAME IS DVORAH.
• 12:12 DVORAH.
• 12:13 YOU MUST TAKE THE CONTRACT
• 12:14 OF MARRIAGE TO DVORAH'S HOUSE.
• 12:16 AND BE SURE TO TAKE SOME MONEY.
• 12:17 NOW, YOU MUST PAY A PRICE FOR YOUR BRIDE.
• 12:20 YES, YES.
• 12:21 HANNAH, HE MUST BE SURE TO BRING A SUITABLE PRICE FOR HER.
• 12:24 NOW, DAVID, YOU KNOW OUR CUSTOM.
• 12:26 AFTER YOU TALK WITH THE FAMILY,
• 12:28 YOU POUR THE WINE FOR HER...
• 12:30 AND WHILE YOU ARE POURING THE WINE,
• 12:33 YOU'RE TELLING HER YOU ARE WILLING TO SACRIFICE
• 12:36 TO HAVE HER AS YOUR BRIDE.
• 12:37 AFTER THE FAMILY DRINKS,
• 12:40 THEN YOU OFFER DVORAH THE CUP OF WINE.
• 12:43 IF SHE DRINKS IT, THE ANSWER IS YES.
• 12:47 IF SHE LEAVES IT SITTING THERE, SHE ISN'T READY.
• 12:50 WELL, REMEMBER, SHE CAN TAKE ALL THE TIME SHE WANTS.
• 12:55 TWO, THREE MINUTES MAYBE.
• 12:56 SHE MAY LOOK AT THE CONTRACT.
• 12:58 OR COUNT THE MONEY.
• 12:59 BEFORE SHE PICKS UP THE CUP.
• 13:01 OR SHE MAY NOT PICK UP THE CUP.
• 13:02 REMEMBER TO TALK TO HER FATHER
• 13:05 AND TO HER MOTHER.
• 13:06 DAVID, YOU TELL THEM ALL ABOUT YOUR FAMILY
• 13:10 AND SHOW THEM THE CONTRACT
• 13:12 BEFORE YOU POUR THE WINE.
• 13:13 HANNAH, NO ONE CAN BE EXPECTED
• 13:15 TO REMEMBER ALL YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.
• 13:17 DAVID WILL REMEMBER.

• 16:33 WOULD THE FAMILY EVEN KNOW HIM?
• 16:35 WOULD THE CHOSEN BRIDE-TO-BE LOVE HIM?
• 16:39 WOULD SHE DRINK HIS CUP?
• 16:41 LET'S LOOK IN ON >>A REAL MOMENT OF EXCITEMENT.
• 16:45 [ knocking at the door. ]
• 16:51 I'M GLAD YOU CAME TO SEE US.
• 17:05 I KNOW YOUR FATHER.
• 17:11 ISN'T HE THE CARPENTER FROM THE VILLAGE?
• 17:17 DON'T YOU HAVE
• 17:18 SEVERAL BROTHERS AND SISTERS?
• 17:20 YES, BUT I'M THE OLDEST.
• 17:25 THE OTHERS AREN'T MARRIED YET.
• 17:27 REALLY?
• 17:29 WHY HAVE YOU COME TO VISIT US?
• 17:34 IS YOUR DAUGHTER HOME?
• 17:45 OH, I SEE.
• 17:49 BUT I HAVE SEVERAL DAUGHTERS.
• 17:51 WAS THERE A PARTICULAR ONE YOU WANTED TO SEE?
• 17:56 I SAW HER BY THE WELL.
• 17:59 SHE SMILES LIKE REBECCA.
• 18:03 LIKE REBECCA?
• 18:05 WELL, MOTHER, GO AND GET OUR REBECCA.
• 18:07 YOU KNOW, THE DAUGHTER WHO'S GETTING TO BE SO EXPENSIVE.
• 18:14 WE CALL OUR REBECCA, DVORAH.
• 18:17 YES, I KNOW.
• 18:21 [ music playing softly ]
• 19:37 Narrator: AND SO IT GOES.
• 19:39 BOY MEETS GIRL, AND BOY PROPOSES TO GIRL,
• 19:41 BUT THEIR FIRST KISS WILL BE AFTER THE WEDDING.
• 19:44 LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS NOW.
• 19:46 KEEP YOUR EYES ON THAT CUP.
• 19:50 [ music playing softly ]
• 20:10 I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU.
• 20:14 [ music crescendos ]
• 20:18 OH, MAMMA, HE SAID,
• 20:20 "I GO TO PREPARE A PLACE FOR YOU."
• 20:23 YES, DVORAH, WE HEARD.
• 20:26 AND NOW YOU WILL FOLLOW
• 20:28 SARA, REBECCA, RACHEL,
• 20:31 AND ALL OUR MOTHERS IN OUR CUSTOMS.
• 20:34 YOU MUST WEAR YOUR VEIL WHENEVER YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE
• 20:37 SO THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW YOU'VE BEEN SPOKEN FOR.
• 20:41 AND SINCE YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN DAVID WILL FINISH THE CHAMBER,
• 20:46 YOU MUST WAIT FOR HIM EVERY NIGHT.
• 20:49 AND REMEMBER, YOU MUST KEEP YOUR OIL LAMP
• 20:53 TRIMMED BY YOUR BED, FOR A YOUNG BRIDEGROOM
• 20:56 MIGHT SURPRISE YOU AT MIDNIGHT.
• 21:00 AND REMEMBER, HE COMES LIKE
• 21:04 A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
• 21:08 I WILL REMEMBER.
• 21:27 AND WHERE HAS DAVID GONE?
• 21:28 BACK TO HIS FATHER'S HOUSE >>TO BUILD HER A LITTLE MANSION,
• 21:32 A BRIDAL CHAMBER FOR THEIR HONEYMOON.
• 21:34 THERE'S A BEAUTIFUL ANALOGY >>IN THE BIBLE ABOUT THE MESSIAH
• 21:37 AS THE BRIDEGROOM AND THE BELIEVERS AS HIS BRIDE.
• 21:40 THE LORD DID EVERYTHING >>WE'RE DOING IN OUR PLAY TONIGHT.
• 21:43 HE CAME FROM HIS FATHER'S HOUSE TO OUR HOUSE.
• 21:45 HE BROUGHT US A CONTRACT, THE NEW COVENANT,
• 21:49 [ speaking in Hebrew ]
• 21:51 THE NEW TESTAMENT.
• 21:52 AND HE POURED THE CUP AT PASSOVER.
• 21:55 HE SAID, "DRINK YE ALL OF IT,
• 21:56 "FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD SHED FOR THE MANY FOR REMISSION OF SIN."
• 22:00 AND HE PAID THE PRICE AT CALVARY,
• 22:02 THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE PRICE, THE >>VERY LIFE OF AN INNOCENT MAN.
• 22:07 AND BEFORE HE LEFT HE SAID,
• 22:08 "IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE ARE MANY MANSIONS."
• 22:11 NOW, THE BELIEVERS ARE IN THE MIDDLE
• 22:13 OF THE BIGGEST COURTSHIP OF ALL TIME.
• 22:15 THEY DRINK THE CUP AND THEY WAIT FOR HIM.
• 22:17 THE CONTRACT SAID THE BRIDE >>HAD TO BE WAITING EVERY NIGHT.
• 22:21 WHEN SHE WENT OUT IN FRONT OF OTHER MEN,
• 22:24 SHE WOULD WEAR A VEIL,
• 22:25 BUT AT NIGHT, SHE'D BE HOME TRIMMING THAT OIL LAMP
• 22:28 BECAUSE HE MIGHT COME AT MIDNIGHT.
• 22:30 THERE WERE NO STREET LAMPS, OF COURSE.
• 22:33 AND ISRAEL'S PRETTY ROUGH TERRAIN.
• 22:34 SO SHE HAD TO HAVE A LAMP READY TO TRAVEL IN THE DARK.
• 22:38 IT SHOWED THAT SHE WAS REALLY WAITING.
• 22:41 THESE BRIDES WERE STOLEN OUT OF THEIR BEDS.
• 22:43 INDEED, THE BRIDEGROOM >>CAME LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT.
• 22:47 FROM THE MOMENT SHE DRANK THAT CUP,
• 22:49 THE BRIDE WAS FOREVER DIFFERENT.
• 22:51 SHE WAS CALLED CONSECRATED, >>SET APART, BOUGHT WITH A PRICE,
• 22:56 SHE IS NOT HER OWN.
• 22:57 DURING THE DAY, SHE COULD WORK
• 22:59 ON COMPLETING HER TROUSSEAU,
• 23:00 BUT AT NIGHT, SHE'D BE HOME WITH THAT LAMP
• 23:02 AND HER SISTERS AND HER BRIDESMAIDS WAITING WITH HER,
• 23:05 ALL OF THEM THINKING THE SAME THING,
• 23:08 WHEN WOULD HE COME?
• 23:16 OH, DVORAH, YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL.
• 23:18 AND YOU MUST WEAR IT
• 23:19 EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE.
• 23:20 [ laughter ]
• 23:21 COULD THIS BE THE NIGHT HE WILL COME?
• 23:24 MAY I TRY IT ON?
• 23:25 [ laughter ]
• 23:30 SHHH...DID YOU HEAR SOMETHING?
• 23:34 IS THE LAMP READY?
• 23:35 DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE PLENTY OF OIL?
