786、前面说明（7:4，730节），“四十天”表示被称为挪亚的教会持续的时间。本节说“四十天”，而第4节说“四十昼又四十夜”，因为在第4节，所表示的是试探持续的时间，其中“夜”是指焦虑。

[NCE]786. The symbolism of forty days as the length of time the church called Noah lasted was demonstrated above at verse 4 [730]. This verse says forty days, that one said forty days and nights, because the symbolism there was the length of time the trials lasted, the nights being times of anxiety.
Potts(1905-1910) 786
786. That by "forty days" is signified the duration of the church called "Noah" was shown above (at verse 4). Here it is "forty days" there "forty days and forty nights;" because in that place the duration of temptation was signified, in which the "nights" are anxieties.
Elliott(1983-1999) 786
786. That 'forty days' means the duration of the Church called Noah has been shown above at verse 4. The present verse says 'forty days', but verse 4 says 'forty days and nights' because at that point the duration of temptation was meant, the 'nights' of which are anxieties.
Latin(1748-1756) 786
786. Quod per 'quadraginta dies' significetur duratio Ecclesiae Noahus vocatae, supra ad vers. 4 ostensum est; hic 'quadraginta dies,' ibi 'quadraginta dies et noctes,' quia ibi significabatur duratio tentationis, in qua 'noctes' sunt anxietates.
