Prompt

Ezekiel 46: on the sabbath the inner east gate is opened and the prince worships at its threshold while the priests prepare his burnt offering. Close-up: the prince of Israel, in a fine embroidered blue mantle and a simple gold circlet over a wrapped head-cloth, kneels large and central in the foreground, filling the middle of the frame, on the stone threshold of the open gate, hands raised in worship, face reverent and full of joy; behind him through the gateway, softly out of focus, two priests in white linen and linen turbans tend a thin column of smoke rising from the great stone altar in the inner court. Soft golden sabbath-morning light. 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.
