Malachi Rebukes a Priest Offering a Blind Lamb

Prompt

Malachi 1: "Ye offer polluted bread upon mine altar... And if ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? and if ye offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? offer it now unto thy governor." In the court of the second temple before the great stone altar, a bored, careless priest in white linen and a white turban stands holding a thin, lame lamb with a clouded blind eye, about to offer it; the prophet Malachi, wearing a simple wrapped head cloth and a dull olive wool mantle, stands large and central facing him, one hand stretched toward the blemished lamb, his face full of grief and rebuke. A sickly goat stands tethered nearby. Bright clear morning sun, pale limestone, thin smoke rising from the altar. The men wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. 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.
