I’ll check it out, thanks. From what the Strong’s says, it implies the Hebrew word isn’t in use anymore. I two pastors up in New York, one a messianic Jew, the other from Greece. They love these types of questions.

God Bless.

Here is another thing you can run past them, the bible doesnt necessarily say that the Ark came to rest on top of Mt. Ararat.
Genesis 8:4 ... and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
The Biblical says that the ark came to rest on the "mountains" of Ararat. Mountains is plural, not singular.
This does not exclude Mt. Ararat, but it does widen the area.
The ancient Hebrew word for mountains is bar, and can the ancient Hebrew meaning covers any from a small hill up to the top of a mountain peak, depending on its usage.
The geographic area that the "mountains of Ararat" covers are a debate. Different experts will give different geographic boundaries, but it does cover more than one mountain.
According to some Armenian scholars, "the mountains of Ararat" encompass the entire mountainous region eastern Turkey, the west side of Iran, northern Iraq, and southern Russia.
Maybe it is the one mountain, maybe not, I don't know. Maybe there is something to the posted article, maybe not, I dont know. I just like to throw in that bit of information when the topic comes around.
