9th - of Av :
Num. [[14:35|bible.4.14.35]]

Note Tisha B'av (9th of Av) Ref-0025, p. 196. "The Jewish-Roman historian Josephus, for example, saw a divine punishment for Israel behind the judgment on both the first and second temples, since both occurred on the same day (the nine of the Jewish month of Av)." Ref-0031, p. 58. "Therefore, on the ninth day of the Jewish month of Av in A.D. 70, the city and the Temple were burned as Daniel had prophesied." Ref-0144, p. 70. "Five events of national tragedy have been associated with this date. The first of these national tragedies, and the supposed cause of all that followed, was the failure of the Israelites to enter the Promised Land under Moses [Num. [[14:23|bible.4.14.23]]]. . . oral tradition recounts that this lamentation took place on the Ninth of Av. . . The next four events occurring on the Ninth of Av all relate to the Temple. The second and third disasters involve Solomon's first Temple and Herod's second Temple, where were both destroyed on the same day 656 years apart. The last two disasters occurred 65 years later on the same day (A.D. 135). The first of these was the defeat of the army of Bar Kokhba at Betar. The second followed as a consequence of the first. It was the plowing of the site of the Temple Mount by the Roman governor of Judea, Tineius Rufus. . ." Ref-0144, pp. 212-213. "According to the Jewish Mishnah it was discovered by the rabbis that five things happened to the Jewish forefathers on the ninth of Av (the Jewish month when these events occurred): 1) the Jews were sentenced not to enter Eretz-Yisrael; 2) the First Temple was destroyed; 3) the Second Temple was destroyed; 4) Bethar (the city in the Judean hills where Bar Kokhba made his final stand against the Romans) was captured; and 5) the Temple Mount was plowed over by the Romans (Mishnah, Ta'anit 4:6)." Ref-0146, p. 84. "the Ninth of Av, the Roman governor of Judea, Tinneius Rufus, plowed up the Sanctuary of the Temple Mount and its environs in the name of the emperor (see Eruchin 27a; Ta'anit 29a; Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History 4:6,1)." Ref-0146, p. 89.
