Reckoning 30 days for a month, we thus have an interval of 73 days between the grounding of the ark upon the mountains of Ararat and the visibility of the other mountains.<\/p>\n tops of the mountains<\/em> ] This detail in the narrative suggests that Ararat was thought to be a lonely peak towering above all the neighbouring mountains.<\/p>\n 5.

The various epochs of the narrative are given in the years, months, and days of the life of Noah .
