τεσσᾰρᾰκοντᾰ-ετής G5063
forty years old, of forty years' duration
This adjective describes a span of forty years, whether referring to someone's age or a period of time. In both New Testament occurrences, it marks significant turning points in Israel's history. Moses was forty years old when he attempted to deliver his people (Acts 7:23), and God endured Israel's conduct in the wilderness for a forty-year period (Acts 13:18). The number forty often carries symbolic weight in Scripture, associated with testing, probation, or preparation.
