When did noah's ark land?

Answer 1

Noah's ark came to rest on the 17th day of the 7th month of the 600th year of Noah's life, according to Genesis 8:4. But the ark was perched on a mountain. The water levels were still too high for the mountain tops to be seen above the water [8:5].

Answer 2

The Bible does not really tell us exactly when the Ark landed, but there would in any case be two different answers, because the Flood lasted either 40 days or one year:

• Genesis 8:4 says that the Ark came to rest on Mount Ararat (5 km above sea level) on the seventeenth day of the seventh month. Verse 8:5 says that in the tenth month the tops of the mountains were seen. Finally, on the fist month of the new year (8:13a) the waters were dried up on the land.
• Genesis 8:6 says that at the end of forty days, Noah opened the window of the Ark and (8:8-12) sent forth a dove to tell that the land was dry.

The difference arises from the differences in two different accounts of the same story, that have been intertwined to the point that can seem to be jusdt the one account, but for the internal contradictions. The verses attributed to the Priestly author are: Genesis 6:9-22, 7:6, 7:8-9, 7:11, 7:13-16a, 7:18-21, 7:24, 8:1-2a, 8:3b-5, 8:7, 8:13a, 8:14-19, 9:1-17. The verses attributed to the Yahwist are: Genesis 6:5-8, 7:1-5, 7:7, 7:10, 7:12, 7:16b-17, 7:22-23, 8:2b-3a, 8:6, 8:8-12, 8:13b, 8:20-22.

Answer 3

The Bible said it landed in the mountains of Ararat... meaning it could be in the general area of Mount Ararat.
