Prompt

Numbers 12: The cloud departs from the tabernacle and Miriam is suddenly leprous, white as snow, while Aaron pleads with Moses for her. Miriam stands large and central at the tabernacle door, staring in horror at her own hands, stricken with leprosy. Aaron in his high priest's garments turns to Moses with outstretched hands, begging, and old Moses lifts his face and staff toward heaven, crying, Heal her now, O God. Behind them the pillar of cloud lifts away into a bright sky. Anguished, urgent, tender mood in clear daylight. 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.
