Aaron Lays Hands on the Scapegoat

Prompt

Leviticus 16: On the Day of Atonement Aaron lays both his hands upon the head of the live goat and confesses over it the sins of Israel. Aaron in plain white linen garments and linen mitre stands large and central, eyes closed, both hands pressed on the head of a shaggy dark goat. Beyond him a waiting man holds the goat's rope, ready to lead it away into the bare golden wilderness hills that stretch to the horizon. Clear bright afternoon light, solemn and sacred. 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.
