Prompt

Zechariah 4: "Behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon... And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof." In a quiet night vision, the prophet Zechariah, wearing a simple wrapped head cloth, kneels large and central in the foreground, gazing up in wonder at a tall solid-gold lampstand: one central shaft with exactly three curved branches on each side, making EXACTLY SEVEN lamps in a single row, seven small flames in total, with a golden bowl of oil above; on its left and on its right stands a living olive tree, from each of which a golden pipe runs golden oil into the bowl. A winged angel stands beside Zechariah, gesturing toward the lampstand. Warm luminous golden lamplight against a deep blue starlit sky, clear and bright. 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.
