The Gibeonites Deceive Joshua with Old Bread

Prompt

Joshua 9: The men of Gibeon come to Joshua at Gilgal pretending to be ambassadors from a far country. Two Gibeonite men in deliberately ragged cloaks and patched, worn-out sandals stand before Joshua, one holding out dry, mouldy bread, the other a torn and bound-up wineskin, with a weary donkey carrying old sacks beside them. Joshua, large and central, studies them thoughtfully; the tents of the camp of Israel and bright midday light behind. 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.
