The Tradition mentioned, they give us in Tractat. Bezaroth. distinct. Hajakorr; in § 14 these words; [Greek or Hebrew], ⟨p. 202⟩Rabbi Joden in the name of Rabbi Ibbo said, the Messiah was born in the day that the house of the Sanctuary was destroyed; and the story they tell to this purpose, is as followeth: It came to pass, that as a Jew was ploughing, his Ox before him lowed, and there passed by him [Greek or Hebrew], an Arabian, and he heard a voice saying, O Jew the Son of a Jew, loose thy Oxen for behold the house of the Sanctuary is destroyed; the Ox lowed the second time; and he said, O Jew the Son of a Jew, Yoke thy Oxen, for behold Messiah the King is born, he said unto him, what is his name, he answered [Greek or Hebrew], Menachem, that is, the Comforter. And in Bereshith Rabba on Gen. 30. they have a long story to the same purpose. [Greek or Hebrew], vel, [Greek or Hebrew], Rabbi Samuel the son of Nachman said, as Elijah of good memory was walking on the way, on that very day that the house of the Sanctuary was destroyed, he heard, [Greek or Hebrew], the voice from Heaven, crying unto him, the house of our holy Sanctuary is brought unto destruction: when Elijah of good memory heard this, he thought the whole world should be destroyed, he went therefore and finding [Greek or Hebrew], men ploughing and sowing, he said unto them the holy blessed God is angry with the world, (or all this generation) [Greek or Hebrew], and will destroy his house, and send his children into captivity among the Nations of the world, and you are solicitous about this temporal life. [Greek or Hebrew], came forth again and said unto him, Let them alone, for unto Israel is born a Saviour; he said unto the voice, where is he? the voice said unto him in Bethlehem Judah; he went, and found a woman sitting in the door of her house, and her Child lying in its own blood before her: he said unto her, my daughter hast thou born a Son, she said unto him, yea; he said, and why doth it lye so long in its own blood? she said unto him, because of the great evil; for on this day wherein he is born, the house of the Sanctuary is destroyed; he said unto her my daughter be of good Courage, and take care of the Child, for great salvation shall be wrought by his hand, and she was straightway encouraged, and took care of him.
