According to Genesis, which mountain range is named in connection with the Ark’s resting place?

According to Genesis, the Ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

Genesis 8:4 says that the Ark rested on “the mountains of Ararat” in the seventh month. The wording refers to a mountainous region or range, not explicitly to the modern individual peak called Mount Ararat. Genesis does not name a precise summit.

Ararat is commonly connected with Urartu, an ancient kingdom in the Armenian highlands and surrounding areas. Later traditions and popular accounts often identify Mount Ararat in eastern Turkey as the landing site, but that specific peak is an interpretation rather than a direct statement of Genesis.

This distinction explains why “Mount Ararat” is a familiar answer in popular culture while “the mountains of Ararat” is the more exact biblical wording. The question asks for the range named by the Genesis narrative.
