* 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.
