    Comments: It is also possible to interpret νύξ in {S:06602200500004} as a period of time rather than as darkness (see {D:67.192}). See also {L:ἡμέρα} {D:14.40} and its footnote.

    DefinitionShort: (ἡμέρας τεσσεράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσεράκοντα - literally, forty days and forty nights) possibly a symbolic temporal expression denoting a relatively long period of time
    Glosses: a long time
    Comments: Most translations render ἡμέρας τεσσεράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσεράκοντα as either ‘forty days and forty nights’ or ‘forty days,’ though it is possible, in view of the symbolic meaning of the number ‘forty,’ that this expression is to be understood as meaning a long period of time.
