Footnotes
*אַרְבָּעִים יוֹם וְאַרְבָּעִים לַיְלָה* (arba'im yom v'arba'im lailah) — 'forty days and forty nights' — is a biblical formula marking a liminal period of concentrated divine encounter (cf. Moses's first ascent, Ex. 24:18; Elijah at Horeb, 1 Kings 19:8; Yeshua in the wilderness, Matt. 4:2). The repetition of this exact duration for the second ascent underscores Moses's intercessory tenacity: the covenant is not renewed by Israel's repentance alone but by a mediator who stands in the breach. FOG and FOG Message render this identically, honouring the formulaic gravity of the phrase.
