Ar'arat æText: sacred 
land

the 
name 
of 
a 
country 
on 
one 
of 
the mountains 
of 
which 
the 
ark

after 
the 
Flood

(Gen. 
8:4).
The 
"mountains" 
mentioned 
were 
probably 
the 
Kurdish 
range 
of 
South Armenia. 
In 
2 
Kings 
19:37, 
Isa. 
37:38, 
the 
word 
is 
rendered 
"Armenia" in 
the 
Authorized 
Version, 
but 
in 
the 
Revised 
Version, 
"Land 
of Ararat." 
In 
Jer. 
51:27, 
the 
name 
denotes 
the 
central 
or 
southern portion 
of 
Armenia. 
It 
is, 
however, 
generally 
applied 
to 
a 
high 
and almost 
inaccessible 
mountain 
which 
rises 
majestically 
from 
the 
plain 
of     the 
Araxes. 
It 
has 
two 
conical 
peaks, 
about 
7 
miles 
apart, 
the 
one 14,300 
feet 
and 
the 
other 
10,300 
feet 
above 
the 
level 
of 
the 
plain. Three 
thousand 
feet 
of 
the 
summit 
of 
the 
higher 
of 
these 
peaks 
is covered 
with 
perpetual 
snow. It 
is 
called 
Kuh-i-nuh, 
i.e. 
"Noah's mountain", 
by 
the 
Persians. This 
part 
of 
Armenia 
was 
inhabited 
by

any
