Graphic Bible · Scene 4 of 13

At dawn, a white-linen priest carefully adds split acacia wood to the broad bronze lattice altar, arranging the pieces over a controlled bed of living coals. A prepared offering and pale peace-offering fat portions rest orderly above the grate without visible carcass detail. The continual flame is steady and modest, not a dramatic inferno; no blood or gore.
