Joshua Sets Up Twelve Stones at Gilgal

Prompt

Joshua 4: At Gilgal Joshua sets up the twelve stones taken from the midst of the Jordan as a memorial for the children of Israel. Joshua stands large and central beside the newly raised cairn of twelve large river stones, one hand resting on the top stone, while a young Israelite man sets the last stone from his shoulder and a small boy looks up asking what the stones mean. Golden late-afternoon light over the plain of Jericho and the Jordan valley behind. 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.
