| 9 | When Nebuchadnezzar broke the walls [Jerusalem -
in the first Temple] King Zidkiyahu and his men
fled through a hidden cave, which went from
Yerushalayim till Yericho. Hashem made some Roman soldiers chase a deer that ran to the opening of the cave, and thus they found them, captured them and brought them to Nebuchadnezzar, (see the 6th of Cheshvan to know what happened to the King). During the 70 year exile of Bavel, today was the fourth public fast day , but after the breaking of the wall of the second Temple on the 17th the fast day was switched to that day. |

and when they saw that Moshe Rabeinu didn't come down
the mountain, they asked Chur (the son of Kaleb & Miriyam,
Moshe's sister] to made an Idol so they can worshipped
it, when he didn't agree, they killed him. Then they told Aharon to do it, and he threw in a fire their gold and silver along came Micha and threw in a plate (that Moshe wrote on it "Arise Bull, Arise Bull" to bring up Yosefs coffin in the nile river) and out came the Golden Calf. |
