Judges 11:8 - "And the elders of Gilead said unto Jephthah, Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayest go with us, and fight against the children of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."Visualize a biblical scene featuring an open-air gathering of aged leaders, speaking to a determined man. They are in the midst of Gilead, a historical region east of the Jordan River, during the daytime. The elements from the narrative - the leaders doing the talking, the fine-looking man listening intently, the anticipation of an imminent battle - should be evident. The scenery should include rough terrain with sparse desert vegetation, reflecting the region's geography. The style should resemble bold and vibrant hues, sharp contours, pixel contrast, typical for classical digital art.
