Unspecified in the Bible verses above. I have set this scene in the daytime.
LIGHTING NOTES:
Diffused light, coming from the sun, above.
CHARACTERS PRESENT:
Four men from Samson’s family are carrying his body on a litter (wooden poles with canvas between them, like a stretcher).
RESEARCH/ADDITIONAL NOTES:
This simple scene shows Samson’s family burying his body in the tomb of his father, Manoah, which you can see the procession heading for in the background. There is a large rounded stone which serves as a secure cover, rolled over the tomb entrance.
