וַיָּבֹ֣אוּ אֲ֠נָשִׁים מִשְּׁכֶ֞ם מִשִּׁל֤וֹ וּמִשֹּֽׁמְרוֹן֙ שְׁמֹנִ֣ים אִ֔ישׁ מְגֻלְּחֵ֥י זָקָ֛ן וּקְרֻעֵ֥י בְגָדִ֖ים וּמִתְגֹּֽדְדִ֑ים וּמִנְחָ֤ה וּלְבוֹנָה֙ בְּיָדָ֔ם לְהָבִ֖יא בֵּ֥ית יְהוָֽה׃
זײַנען אָנגעקומען מענטש פֿון שכֶם, װוּן שילוֹ, און פֿון שוֹמרוֹן, אַכציק מאַן מיט אָפּגעגאָלטע בערד, און צעריסענע קלײדע, ר און שניטן אױפֿן לײַב; מיט שפּײַזאָפּפֿער און װײַרױך אין זײער האַנט, אױף צו ברענגען אין הױז פֿון גאָט.
Mishneh Torah, Fasts
One who saw the cities of Judah in their destruction says, "Your holy cities have become a desert" (Isaiah 64:9), and tears. [If] he saw Jerusalem in its destruction, he says, "[Zion] has become a desert, etc." (Isaiah 64:9); the Temple in its destruction, says "Our holy Temple, our pride, etc." (Isaiah 64:10), and tears. And from where is one obligated to tear? From [Mount] Scopus. And when he reaches the [place of the] Temple, he tears another tear. But if he encountered the Temple first when he came from the way of the wilderness, he tears for the Temple and adds [to the tear] for Jerusalem.
