QUESTION: How could the Ark come to rest on Mt. Ararat after 150 days if the tops of the mountains weren't seen until 253* Days?Genesis 8:4, 5 reads "In the seventh month, on the 17th day of the month, the ark came to rest on the mountains of Arʹa·rat. 5 And the waters were steadily decreasing until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first of the month, the tops of the mountains appeared." Withing the context of ever decreasing water level, the accounts makes two clear statements in chronological order: 1. The Ark runs aground on Mt Ararat 2. "The Mountains" become visible NOTE Genesis says that three months after running aground, the tops of " the mountains" appeared; what it does NOT say is that Mt Ararat had NOT appeared previously. Keil-Delitzsch Commentary on the Old Testament, Volume 1, page 148, suggests this probably refers to “ [...] the tops of the Armenian highlands, by which the ark was surrounded.” If that was indeed the case, then Mt Ararat towers nearly 1000 feet higher than the hightest peak in this mountain range. Thus logically it would be some time before these lower peaks ("the mountains") appeared. In any case that the lower mountain ranges (which ever they were) became visible to Noah after having run aground on is no more contradictory than is saying " The man ran over a dog. Two weeks later he saw dogs." * The Mountains actually became visible after 223 days (not 253) ** Other mountains may well have been visible to God (Mt Everest over in Tibet for example) but the statement is obviously from the perspective of Noah in the ark because that "the mountains" were only visable three months laterfurther jimspace3000.blogspot.fr/2015/12/
