40 has a lot to do with completeness. 40 days and 40 nights did jesus fast, noah was on the ark.

I guess numbers play an important part in God's Word. I just wanted to share a little study I came across on the number 40. I wasn't aware that the number 40 was represented so many times.

So the spies were gone for 40 days, I had no idea about this being why they were wandering for 40 years. I just thought 40 years those without strong faith would be dead.
