I posted it above but I'll do it again. 40 is the correct translation

705 'arba`iym {ar-baw-eem'} multiple of 702; TWOT - 2106b; n,adj pl AV - forty 132, fortieth 4; 136 1) forty

You might make a case that 40 infers many but it is the literal translation.

What I find interesting is that 40 weeks is the human gestation period.

First of all, your link doesn't work, so what is left looks like gibberish.

Secondly, forty may be the translation, so what? Yes, they WRITE forty,
no one disputes that. It's what they MEANT by forty that is in dispute.
