* forty days.
   This represented the forty years during which gross idolatry
   prevailed in Judah, from the reformation of Josiah, B.C. 624,
   to the same final desolation of the land.  Some think that the
   period of 390; days also predicts the duration of the siege of
   the Babylonians, (ver. 9,) deducting from it five months and
   twenty-nine days, when the besiegers went to meet the
   Egyptians (2; Ki 25:1-4; Jer 37:5;) and that forty days may
   have been employed in desolating the temple and city.
   "Beginning from 2; Ki 23:3, 23.  Ending Jer 52:30."

 * each day for a year.  Heb. a day for a year, a day for a
   year.
