Israelite Buys Water from an Edomite at a Well
An Edomite pours water from a jar into an Israelite's waterskin at a stone well, with silver in his palm. Red cliffs rise behind them.
Prompt
Deuteronomy 2: Passing through mount Seir, an Israelite traveller buys water from an Edomite herdsman with silver, as the LORD commanded. The two men stand face to face at a stone well, large and central, the Edomite pouring water from a clay jar into the Israelite's waterskin while silver pieces rest in his open palm. Behind them rise the towering red sandstone cliffs of Seir glowing in warm afternoon light, peaceful and respectful. 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.
