Seventh. Jeremias (lii. 12.) mentions the tenth; on which day Nabuzardan probably arrived, or begun to put his orders in execution. Yet the Jews keep the ninth as an annual fast, Zacharias vii. 3., and viii. 19. The temple was destroyed on Saturday, 27th August, the year of the world 3416, (Usher) after it had stood 424 years, 3 months, and 8 days. (Calmet) — Army. Hebrew, “of those who slay;” which may be fitly understood “of soldiers,” as well as “of cooks,” (Septuagint) “butchers.” (Pagnin, &c.) (Menochius)
