The date of the destruction of the First Temple is given in the Bible as the seventh day (2 Kings 25:8) or tenth day (Jeremiah 52:10) of the fifth month. Av is the fifth month, counting from Nisan as the first.
So, why does Ezekiel 24:2 mention the tenth day of the tenth month? This date is mentioned in 2 Kings 25:1 and Jeremiah 52:4 as the beginning of the siege against Jerusalem. The verse in Ezekiel tells us that "the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem this same day." Ezekiel is referring to the siege, not to the destruction of the Temple.
Hmmmm. well, but why then did God take Ezekiel's wife that same night if it was not the same day that Jerusalem fell? He took Ezekiel's wife as a symbol for the loss of His own - Jerusalem.

@Gina It doesn't say Ezekiel's wife died on the same day. Ezekiel's wife dies after "and God spoke to me saying" (24:15) which is how many sections in Ezekiel start. The immediate context (24:3) is a parable of being cooked in a cooking pot, which is a metaphor for a siege

TEBETH
Tebeth is the name of the tenth Jewish lunar month of the sacred calender and corresponts to part of December and part of January. It was simply referred as the "tenth month"
Esther 2:16 (NASB)
16 "So Esther was taken to King Ahasuerus to his royal palace in the
tenth month which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his
reign."
1 Chronicles 27:13 (NASB)
13 The tenth for the tenth month was Maharai the Netophathite of the
Zerahites; and in his division were 24,000.
Is Tebeth also called Tevet? And, then which month are you starting from to make that the tenth month?

@Gina:Yes "Tevet" corresponds to the forth month of the civil calendar, it is a winter month of 29 days and corresponds to December and January on the Gregorian calendar. (Info from Wikipedia.) A key word search on NASB and YTL Bibles did not reveal " Tevet".
