How many times is forty mention in the Bible?

Answer 1

At least three that I can remember. Forty days & nights of rain in Genesis, and forty wives in Kings I. Also, forty lashes (save one, actually 39) was the maximum number which could be applied under Old Testament law. Anyone else? A fourth, unless this contributor is mistaken; the Hebrews led by Moses wandered in the Sanai Desert for forty years before entering the Promised Land in Exodus.
