Final answer:
Becky Day discusses the flood in three paragraphs: a description of a personification of the river, an account of an unusual crest of the river, and a discussion of the crisis caused by the flood.
Step-by-step explanation:
Becky Day, the flood is discussed in the following paragraphs:
- Figure 13.1.21: Rebecca and Eliezer at the Well (Detail showing the personification of the river as a semi-n ude woman), folio 7 recto from the Vienna Genesis, early 6th century. (Photo via Smarthistory)
- CE. Other events, such as the highly unusual crest of the river in 1479-arriving half a month early on the twenty-ninth day of the Coptic month, Abīb (August 6)-added to the general level of anxiety (Petry 1994: 123).
- The magnitude of the crisis and the uncertainty it was causing thus loomed very large in the eyes of these contemporaries.
