'Months' in the Bible

They were not allowed to kill them, but were only allowed to torture them for five months. Their torture was like the pain of a scorpion when it stings someone.

They had tails and stingers like scorpions, and they had the power to hurt people with their tails for five months.

But don't measure the courtyard outside the Temple. Leave that out, because it is given to the nations, and they will trample the Holy City for 42 months.

The beast was allowed to speak arrogant and blasphemous things, and it was given authority for 42 months.
