Matthew Poole and continuators on Genesis 8:4

4. And the Ark rested in the seventh moneth , on the seventeenth day of the moneth, upon the Mountains of Ararat .

From the beginning not of the Flood, but of the year as appears by comparing ch. 7. 11. and ch. 8. 13, 14.

(i. e.) Upon one of the Mountains of Ararat, by a frequent Enallage of the number, as Iud. 12. 7. Matth. 21. 5. And by Ararat is here commonly and rightly understood Armenia, as appears both by comparing Isa. 37. 38. Ier. 51. 27. and by the Testimony of antient Writers produced by Iosephus and others to this purpose, and by the great height of those Mountains, and by its nearness to the place where the first men lived, this great Vessel not being fitted for sailing to remote places, but only for the receit and preservation of Men and other Creatures in it.
