what dose Ararat mean?

Answer 1

What does Ararat mean? Only thing I can think of is that that was the mountain Noah landed on after the flood...I think...

Answer 2

Mount Ararat is probably the reference, but, just for clarification purposes. Scripture does not say that Noah landed on Mount Ararat exactly. It just says the mountains of Ararat. Many have taken that to mean Mount Ararat as we call it today, but that may or may nto be true. Also, the names of mountains change over time so, even if he did land on mount Ararat back then, it may not be the same place we call mount Ararat today.

Now as far as meaning goes, if you want to get all the info on the meaning, here it is.

to go down, descend, march down. Jones reads Mountain of Descent, which is a wonderful interpretation if it didn't ignore the final teth.
The following cluster of words seems more appropriate: ('arar 168), to curse; (retet 2156a), trembling, panic, and (rata 2155), wring out (Job 16:11), a word that, according to BDB may have to do with (yarat 914), precipitate, or be headlong, contrary (Numb 22:32, "...because your way is contrary to me." BDB suggest an alternative reading, "...thou hast precipitated the journey in front of me.") The name Ararat seems to stylize the Noah story: A curse and a trembling; then a mountain and a future in a flash laid out.
NOBSE does not translate.

There is debate on exact proper translation to English from Hebrew and Aramaic, but that is a basic overview of it.

Answer 3

sacred land or high land, the name of a country on one of the mountains of which
the ark rested after the Flood subsided (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 a people who spoke a language unlike any other now
known, though it may have been related to the modern Georgian. About B.C. 900
they borrowed the cuneiform characters of Nineveh, and from this time we have
inscriptions of a line of kings who at times contended with Assyria. At the
close of the seventh century B.C. the kingdom of Ararat came to an end, and the
country was occupied by a people who are ancestors of the Armenians of the
present day.

Ararat, a city of refuge for the Jewish nation, was founded in 1825 by New York politician and playwright Mordecai Manuel Noah, who purchased most of Grand Island, a 27-square mile island near Buffalo, New York. Noah led a ceremonious procession to the site and laid a markstone with the sayings in Hebrew and English: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord; Ararat, A City of Refuge for the Jews, Founded by Mordecai Manuel Noah, in the Month Tishrei, September 1825 and in the 50th year of American Independence. "The idea did not attract many followers and Mordecai Noah started to advocate the creation of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel, then a part of the Ottoman Empire. Some suggested that Noah's dream may have inspired Joseph Smith to create the Mormon religion.
