Scene – sunset contemplation
Miriam’s anxiety builds as her betrothed is soon to come home. She
longs for their innocent love, for his friendship, for their romance, for life
to be good and full of promise again. She misses her family. She
knows she will be called “dead” as soon as Yaacov returns, closing the door
forever to seeing her real life again. She does not want to die, to lose
Yaacov, to be so far from all that is her life. Here, she feels she is mis-fit
with her cousins, even though they have reconciled. Miriam goes to her
cousin who is head of the home and asks to leave to return to her family. He lets her go.
There is a fond parting with all.
