Notes

Genesis 8:4

The mountains of Ararat might be in the region of Ararat (Urartu), southeast of the Black Sea near Lake Van. This area borders parts of eastern Turkey, Armenia, and Iran. There is a Mount Ararat (Agri Dag) in Turkey, but this verse only identifies the region, not a specific mountain.
