Moses Before Mount Sinai in Fire

Prompt

Exodus 19: on the third day the LORD descends upon Mount Sinai in fire, the whole mountain smoking like a furnace and quaking, with thunder, lightning and the sound of a trumpet, and Moses brings the people out of the camp to meet with God. Moses stands large and central in the foreground at the boundary line, staff raised, facing the mountain, while a few trembling Israelites in freshly washed garments stand behind him. The massive granite peak of Sinai is wrapped in billowing cloud and blazing fire against a bright sky; the mood is awe, holiness and fear. 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.
