Genesis 8:4
βAnd the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat.β
KJV
Read in Genesis 8Meaning
The ark comes to rest in the mountains of Ararat as the floodwaters continue to recede.
Read carefully
Genesis says mountains of Ararat, not a single modern summit identified with certainty as the ark's location.
Reflection
Preservation reaches a new stage: the ark is no longer merely floating.
