And forty days were fulfilled for him; for so are fulfilled the days of those who are embalmed: and the Egyptians mourned for him three score and ten days.

And he spoke unto him yet again, and said, Suppose there shall be forty found there. And he said, I will not do it for forty's sake.

And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
