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

Hot-one 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 hot-one” is in the singular while the rest are in the plural, “Ye do not eat one hot-one, nor two days, nor five days, nor ten days, nor twenty hot-one, but for a month of days…” Numbers 11:19-20.
