Graphic Bible · Scene 11 of 15

Inside a Bronze Age camp kitchen, an Israelite household carefully drains a freshly prepared bird over an earthenware bowl and sets the bowl aside from all food. Their serious restraint communicates that blood is never eaten in their dwellings. Keep the bird plucked and non-graphic; no drinking, wound, splashing, gore, slaughter action, or visible deity.
