The verse in its languages

Vulgate (Clementine): Et jacui coram Domino quadraginta diebus ac noctibus, quibus eum suppliciter deprecabar, ne deleret vos ut fuerat comminatus :
Septuagint (Swete): καὶ ἐδεήθην ἐναντίον Κυρίου τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας καὶ τεσσεράκοντα νύκτας ὅσας ἐδεήθην, εἶπεν γὰρ Κύριος ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ὑμᾶς·
Hebrew (WLC): וָֽאֶתְנַפַּ֞ל לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֗ה אֵ֣ת אַרְבָּעִ֥ים הַיּ֛וֹם וְאֶת אַרְבָּעִ֥ים הַלַּ֖יְלָה אֲשֶׁ֣ר הִתְנַפָּ֑לְתִּי כִּֽי אָמַ֥ר יְהוָ֖ה לְהַשְׁמִ֥יד אֶתְכֶֽם

Haydock's commentary

Nights. See ver. 18. (Calmet)

After specifying various seditions of the people, Moses returns to what he had been saying respecting the tables of the law, and shews with what difficulty he obtained pardon for the people, and the second tables. (Haydock)

Some people believe that Moses was thrice 40 days in the mountain. He mentions the prayer which he addressed to God before his first descent, Exodus xxxii. 11. (Menochius)
