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.

""Beginning from 2Ki 23:3, 23. Ending Jer 52:30."""
each day for a year   Heb. a day for a year, a day for a year. Num 14:34; Dan 9:24-26; Dan 12:11,12; Rev 9:15; Rev 11:2,3; Rev 12:14; Rev 13:5
