When the ark is completed the animals" are brought in, Noah, his sons and their wives finally entering. Then the deluge breaks upon the fated people, and amidst peals and crashes of terrifying thunder and flashes of destructionwreaking lightning, the learth is gradually submerged, the (people fleeing terror-stricken "to the mountain, tops. TJie ark finally rests on Mt. Ararat, and Noah builds a thanksgiving altar. A rainbow appears in the isky '.as an everlasting token that the earth will never again ibe overwhelmed with flood.
