The Bronze Man Measures the Temple Gate

Prompt

Ezekiel 40: in visions of God Ezekiel is set upon a very high mountain, and a man whose appearance is like bronze measures the gate of the new temple with a measuring reed. The man whose appearance is like bronze, a tall figure gleaming from head to foot like living polished bronze, wearing a bronze-coloured wrapped head-cloth and a long belted robe, holds a long measuring reed against the side post of a massive stone gatehouse carved with palm trees, with a line of flax coiled in his other hand; Ezekiel, a priest in a plain linen robe, stands close beside him, large in the frame, watching intently. Seven broad stone steps lead up to the gate; bright morning light, clean pale limestone and a clear sky. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
