Nadab and Abihu Struck by Fire at the Tabernacle
Two priests in white linen holding censers are engulfed in fierce flame before the tabernacle curtains. Two other men watch in horror at the right.
Prompt
Leviticus 10: Nadab and Abihu offer strange fire before the LORD. The two young priests in white linen tunics and embroidered sashes stand large in the frame at the door of the tabernacle, each holding out a bronze censer of burning coals and incense, their faces flushed and careless. From the holy place a sudden stream of fierce white fire bursts out toward them, filling the scene with blinding light. Dramatic, fearful, bright light against the tabernacle curtains. 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.
