Genesis 7:4

For to days again seven, myself is he-who-causes-rain upon the Earth forty hot-one and forty night-hers,268 and I have wiped-out the את-whole of the Standing-one269 who I have made from upon the faces of the Red-one.`

Footnote:

268

Day and night are in the singular, not plural. Counting with the plural happens mainly with the single digits up to ten. In Numbers 11:19 “twenty day” is in the singular while the rest are in the plural, “Ye do not eat one day, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty day, but for a month of days…” Numbers 11:19-20.
