Charles Spurgeon

1834–1892

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 2143: “The Shining of the Face of Moses” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1890)

A FAST of 40 days does not improve the appearance of a man's countenance—he looks starved, wrinkled, old, haggard. Moses had fasted 40 days twice, at least, and, according to many competent authorities, the 10th chapter of Deuteronomy seems to imply that he fasted 40 days three times in quick succession. I will not assert or deny the third 40 days, but it is certain that, with a very slight interval, Moses fasted 40 days and then 40 days more—and it is probable that to these must be added a third forty.
