- Ararat:
- Ararat is generally understood to be Armenia, as it is rendered elsewhere, in which there is a great chain of mountains, like the Alps or the Pyrenees, upon the highest part of which, called by some, "The Finger Mountain," the ark is supposed to have rested. "And it came to pass,¹ as he¹ was worshippingªº in the houseª of Nisrochª his god,ª that Adrammelechª and Sharezerª his sonsª smoteªº him with the sword:ª and they¹ escapedªº into the landª of Armenia.ª And Esarhaddonª his sonª reignedªº in his stead.¹" {2Kg 19:37} + "And it came to pass,¹ as he¹ was worshippingªº in the houseª of Nisrochª his god,ª that Adrammelechª and Sharezerª his sonsª smoteªº him with the sword;ª and they¹ escapedªº into the landª of Armenia:ª and Esarhaddonª his sonª reignedªº in his stead.¹" {Isa 37:38} + "Set ye upªº a standardª in the land,ª blowªº the trumpetª among the nations,ª prepareªº the nationsª against¹ her, call togetherªº against¹ her the kingdomsª of Ararat,ª Minni,ª and Ashchenaz;ª appointªº a captainª against¹ her; cause the horsesª to come upªº as the roughª caterpillers.ª" {Jer 51:27}
