Phinehas Prays Before the Ark While Israel Weeps

Prompt

Judges 20: The children of Israel go up to the house of God, weep and fast before the LORD, and enquire of him, for the ark of the covenant of God was there, and Phinehas the son of Eleazar stood before it. Phinehas, large and central, stands in priestly white linen before the Ark of the Covenant, his hands lifted in prayer; the Ark is a gold-covered chest with two golden cherubim facing each other on the mercy seat, wings outstretched, resting with its two long gold-covered poles. Two kneeling Israelite elders weep beside him; soft golden light, smoke of offerings rising; peaceful, non-violent. 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.
