The Rosh explains that even
though it
says fifty days it means
forty nine days
but the Torah rounds it off
to the nearest
ten the same way as when the
Torah
tells us to give forty Malkos
it is actually
thirty nine and rounded off
to the nearest 10
.
We also find the Torah says
they came
down to Mitzrayim with 70
people and
actually there were only
69.
( רא"ש סימן מ' ערבי
פסחים)
n Ta'anis 29a The Pasuk says
the
I
Meraglim returned after 40 days
the Gemoro
.
asks it was only 39 days
In Kidushin 38a on the
Pasuk that they ate
the Manna for 40years the Gemoro asks, itwas 40 years minus 30 days.
In Sanhedrin 107b the Gemoro asks on the
Pasuk that Dovid Hamelech was king for
7years (Chevron) + 33 years (Yerushlayim)
and the other Pasuk it says He was king in
Chevron 71/2 years
According to the Rosh why doesn't the
Gemoro answer
in these 3 cases,
that the
Pasuk rounds it
off to the nearest 10?
