Graphic Bible · Scene 2 of 12

Exodus 9:6-6. The fallen herds. Quiet tragic aftermath of the livestock plague in an ancient Egyptian pasture. An unnamed Egyptian herdsman with deep brown skin, short dark hair and simple worn white linen kneels beside a dead brown cow lying naturally on its side. His hand rests gently on the animal neck, face showing grief. Two more fallen small livestock are visible farther away among sparse grass and sandy soil. No blood, wounds, decay or dramatic violence. Palm trees and low mudbrick agricultural buildings in hazy distance, pale daylight. Low intimate viewpoint, dignified natural human and animal anatomy, hand-inked graphic novel gouache and tactile grain, no Pharaoh, Moses, Aaron, lettering or modern objects. Bronze Age Exodus setting, not first-century staging. One 16:9 single scene. No text or lettering. — Artwork is an interpretation. Scripture is quoted from the People's Open Bible.
