“And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.”
At the end of the forty days and forty nights, the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant — the completion of Moses' mountain vigil results in receipt of the covenantal document. The parallel with Israel's 40-year wilderness journey suggests that each 40-day period is a unit of divine testing and instruction.
