Forty (40) in the Bible seems to be a time of probation. A time to prove that one is ready for the next task or part of their lives.

Point to study:

Time of Noah the rain fell for 40 days.
Moses spent 40 days on Mount Sinai twice.
Israelites spent 40 years in the wilderness.
Nineveh was given 40 days to repent.
