Jacob and Laban Make a Covenant at Gilead

Prompt

Genesis 31: on Mount Gilead, after Laban overtakes the fleeing Jacob, the two men make a covenant and set up a pillar and a heap of stones as a witness between them. Jacob and Laban stand large and central on either side of the waist-high cairn of stones beside a tall upright pillar stone, each with a hand raised in solemn oath, Laban stern and Jacob resolute. Behind them a sweeping mountain landscape of Gilead in clear morning light. The mood is tense, solemn and peace-making. 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.
