Exegesis
Finally, the accusative time expression mēnas tessarákonta dýo {μῆνας τεσσεράκοντα δύο | mē-nas tessarákonta dý-o} specifies a bounded duration of forty-two months, a symbolic period in apocalyptic literature. The passive constructions underscore that these capacities are conferred rather than assumed.
In context — Revelation 13:5
And a mouth was given to him, speaking great things and blasphemies ; and authority was given to him to continue for forty-two months.
