Title: Ararat
Post by: WhiteWings on November 10, 2008, 06:06:10 PM
Genesis 8:4  And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.
QuoteStrong
Meaning:  Ararat = "the curse reversed: precipitation of curse" 1) a mountainous region of eastern Armenia, between the river Araxes and the lakes Van and Oroomiah, the site where Noah's ark came to rest 2) (TWOT) the mountain where Noah's ark came to rest

Ararat is an ancient word which simply means "high ":

I'm looking for a little extra info on the "Ararat"
Is it true what the site claims?

Hi Hun

This is what I found for you so far on the word Ararat

http://www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Ararat.html

on the above-mentioned site Ararat does'nt mean anything in particular in Hebrew

http://www.everestnews.com/ararat.htm

Here they mention it means High Land or Sacred Land

http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/ararat.html

Here they mention it as High or Sacred land again

Hope this helps you

Blessings
Dee

Thanks DD, :thumbsup:

Gonna take a serious peak peek at the sites tommorow.

Sacred land comes very close to Strongs "curse reveresed"
My gut feeling says me the Strong defenition is the most accurate.
