Graphic Bible · Scene 5 of 17

Inside the tent of meeting, the anointed priest stands before the closed inner sanctuary curtain with a shallow bronze bowl. One hand is lifted after a restrained ritual sprinkling; seven small dark red droplets are visible on the ground and lower curtain area. The small golden incense altar stands nearby with modest pyramidal corner projections. One cohesive inner-sanctuary moment; the exact text also records the subsequent outer-altar pouring.
