Eliashib and the Priests Raise the Sheep Gate

Prompt

Nehemiah 3: Eliashib the high priest rises up with his brothers the priests and builds the Sheep Gate of Jerusalem. Eliashib, in white linen and a white turban with his sleeves rolled up, stands large and central with two priests, together heaving a massive new cedar gate door upright into its stone gateway, sweat and dust on their faces and determination in their eyes; beside them fresh-cut limestone blocks of the rising wall and a few sheep grazing outside. Bright morning sunlight, clear blue sky. 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.
