    In Genesis 8:4, the proper noun identifies the mountains on which the ark came to rest. In 2 Kings 19:37 and Isaiah 37:38, the APB renders the fugitives as escaping "into the land of Ararat" or "to the land of Ararat"; in Jeremiah 51:27 it appears in the summons of kingdoms, alongside Minni and Ashkenaz.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name in the phrases "the mountains of Ararat" and "the land of Ararat," and also includes it in a list of summoned kingdoms. These phrases show the verse-level setting rather than a separate English definition.
