I watched the first half of The Red Tent last night and was surprised at how well it followed the story of Jacob;s only daughter, Dinah. Took artistic license withe the dialog, of course, but stuck with the biblical story.

In the Bible< Jacob wanted Rachel, but the father tricked him and give him his eldest daughter Leah instead, and had him work for him seven more years before he gave Jacob, Rachel.

In the Red Tent, Rachel asks Leah to keep her face hidden from Jacob and take her place in the wedding ceremony and the wedding bed because she is not ready.

They also pray to mother goddesses in the Red Tent.

Liberties were taken.
