fortie dayes] Deuteronomy 9:9. Of these fortie dayes, the sixe dayes forementioned, vers. 16. are by some supposed to be a part of the fortie, but it may be those sixe dayes were spent in preparation and the fortie in conference betwixt God and Moses, vers. 13. It seemeth by vers. 13, 14. that Joshua went up with Moses into the Mount, but how high, how long he said there, whether he heard what God said to Moses, or whether he fasted fortie dayes as Moses did, Exodus 34:28. Deuteronomy 9:9. there is nothing set down in the Scripture; some thinke he staid at the foot of the hill, while Moses was on the top; some that he ascended some degrees, but not to the top; some that he was on the top, but not within the cloud as Moses was, and that he was sustained all the while with Manna.
