Prompt

Exodus 22: among God's laws of mercy: if thou take thy neighbour's raiment to pledge, thou shalt deliver it unto him by that the sun goeth down, for it is his covering only. An Israelite man, large and central, gently places a folded woollen cloak back into the hands of his poor, elderly neighbour at the door of a humble tent, the old man's face full of relief. Warm golden sunset light glows across the desert camp behind them; the mood is compassionate and kind. 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.
