The number forty 

Mentioning 146 times in Scripture, the number 40 generally symbolizes a period of testing, trial or probation.

During Moses' life he lived forty years in Egypt and forty years in the desert before God selected him to lead his people out of slavery.

Moses was also on Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights, on two separate occasions (Exodus 24:18, 34:1 - 28), receiving God's laws.

He also sent spies, for forty days, to investigate the land God promised the Israelites as an inheritance (Numbers 13:25, 14:34).

TorahToday I found out the biblical expression “40 days and 40 nights” just means a really long time.

The number forty also had great symbolic meaning to the Jews and today among Christians and Muslims as well.

The number forty to the Jews is a number that, when used in terms of time, represents a period of probation, trial,

and chastisement (not to be confused with judgment which is represented by the number 9).
