Re: ararat
ararat is a COUNTRY. the ark came to rest on that country's mountain RANGE.
​
Theist scholars, or the brightest of the lot, have identified "Ararat" as a misnomer. In Hebrew, "ararat" simply means "highest mountain". The Ark came to rest on Mt.Everest.

Re: ararat
Ararat = "the curse reversed: precipitation of curse"
​
James Strong made his contribution to Biblical scholarship in the 19th century.
​
While his source is popular, it is for beginners.
​
Strong's is in error.
​
Modern theist scholars have correctly interpreted the word in question to mean "highest mountain."
​
The Ark was never found on Mt. Ararat, except Ron Wyatt devotees won't let it go. This falsifies the rendering which looks for the Ark on Mt. Ararat. The Strong rendering is weird and almost unintelligible.
​
Its too late to look on Mt. Everest, as many mountain climbing expeditions have traversed the peak and never a report has surfaced suggesting the Ark was seen.

Re: ararat
Yeah, I'm aware of the weaknesses of Strong. I'm curious, though, who and when did they figure that ararat means "highest mountain", and what led them to that conclusion?
​
First off the rendering makes sense.
​
Next, I am racking my brain to remember the theist scholar who made the correction. He is a big name....Ph.D. and all. When I remember I will let you know.
