Stud. § 100) — ׳ א Jer 51:27 אֲרָרָ֑ט Gen 8:4 + 3 t. — a district in Eastern Armenia between the river Araxes & lakes Van & Oroomiah, compare KGF; to this probably reference in 2Kgs 19:37 = Isa 37:38 ׳ אֶרֶץ א; also Gen 8:4 ׳ הָרֵי א, where the ark rested; used perhaps with wider reference Jer 51:27 ׳ מַמְלְכוֺת א (|| מִנִּי, אַשְׁכְּנַז).
