And I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
Ver. 18. Forty days and forty nights.] This some understand of a second fasting so long together, after the people had set up the golden calf. See Deuteronomy 9:25 .
