Nehemiah Seals the Covenant

Prompt

Nehemiah 10: Nehemiah the governor is the first to seal the covenant to walk in God's law. Nehemiah, in his indigo governor's mantle and wrapped headdress, sits large and central at a low wooden table, pressing his signet ring firmly into a lump of soft clay sealing a rolled and tied parchment covenant, his face solemn and resolute; beside him a priest in white linen and turban holds a small oil lamp and a second clay sealing, and two elders watch reverently. A simple stone chamber with warm golden light through a high window. The scroll is rolled shut so no writing shows. 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.
