Joseph's family just started a war they're going to lose. Two days ago, his half-sister Dinah was kidnapped and raped by the prince of Shechem. Now Joseph is trapped between his brothers, clamoring for an attack on the fortress city, and his father, who knows they can't win. Personally, Joseph would rather not die for a lost cause, however, he may not have much choice. When two of his brothers launch a vicious raid on the city to rescue Dinah, Joseph's world is plunged into chaos. And as news of the treacherous attack spreads his family find themselves hemmed in by enemies on every side. In desperation they flee south, to Bethel, risking the dangerous journey to reach a place where Joseph's father believes God Himself will come to their aid. Except, there's a very good reason they haven't been to Bethel before. Jacob has his own secrets, a promise made to God before Joseph was even born that could come due at a terrible price. But they may not have a choice, because, as the smoke from the ruins of Shechem drifts skywards, God Himself is looking down on them. Watching and waiting. And He won't wait forever. This is an adaptation of the story of Genesis 34 from the Bible.
