Usage: The term אַרְבָּעִים is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the number forty. It appears in various contexts, often symbolizing periods of testing, trial, or judgment. Context: The Hebrew word אַרְבָּעִים (arba'im) is frequently encountered in the Old Testament, where it is used to signify the number forty. This number often carries symbolic significance, representing a period of testing, probation, or preparation. For instance, the Israelites wandered in the wilderness for forty years (Numbers 14:33-34), and Moses spent forty days and nights on Mount Sinai (Exodus 24:18). Additionally, the number forty is used in the context of judgment, as seen in the story of the flood, where rain fell for forty days and nights (Genesis 7:12). The number also appears in the context of leadership and reign, such as the forty-year reigns of King David (1 Kings 2:11) and King Solomon (1 Kings 11:42). In the Berean Standard Bible, the usage of "forty" is consistent with these themes, emphasizing periods of significant spiritual and historical importance.
