Props: grain sheaves, threshing floor tools.) stands at Bethlehem’s village edge, shoulders squared as the genealogy begins, while the packed-earth lane and stone homes rest in late-afternoon stillness. By second 4, he inclines his head and lifts one hand slightly to mark the next ancestral name, and a few villagers behind him shift their stance without speaking.
