Source boundary

The page you are reading is original SacraScenes editorial content. It explains the scene boundary, narrative movement and visual choices without presenting the commentary as Scripture. In the immersive reader, the Story panel remains separate from the Scripture panel, and the public-domain edition is named beneath the source text. This separation lets readers compare the retelling with the source instead of relying on a blended paraphrase.

For Leviticus 17, the immersive reader currently uses the public-domain World English Bible (Catholic). Slovenian and German visual scenes remain unavailable until their historical Catholic source text is reviewed. See Sources for attribution and Methodology for the editorial checklist.
