The term "ninth" appears in various contexts throughout the Bible, often signifying a specific time or order. It is used to denote a particular month, hour, or sequence in a list of events or items. Below are some notable instances where the term "ninth" is used in the Scriptures.

Ninth Month:

In the Hebrew calendar, the ninth month is known as Kislev. This month typically falls around November-December in the Gregorian calendar. It is mentioned in several passages, including:

· Ezra 10:9: "So within the three days, all the men of Judah and Benjamin had gathered in Jerusalem. And on the twentieth day of the ninth month, all the people sat in the square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of the heavy rain."

· Jeremiah 36:22: "Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month, with a fire burning before him."

The ninth month is significant in Jewish history and tradition, often associated with events requiring repentance and reflection.

Ninth Hour:

The ninth hour in biblical times corresponds to approximately 3 PM. It is a time of prayer and significant events in the New Testament:

· Matthew 27:46: "About the ninth hour, Jesus cried out in a loud voice, 'Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?' which means, 'My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?'"

· Acts 3:1: "One afternoon Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour."

The ninth hour is notably the time of Jesus' crucifixion when He expressed His sense of abandonment, fulfilling the prophecy of the suffering Messiah.

Ninth Plague:

In the account of the plagues of Egypt, the ninth plague was a plague of darkness:

· Exodus 10:21-23: "Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Stretch out your hand toward heaven, so that darkness may spread over the land of Egypt—a darkness that can be felt.' So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and total darkness covered all the land of Egypt for three days. No one could see anyone else or leave his place for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in their dwellings."

This plague demonstrated God's power over the Egyptian gods and served as a precursor to the final and most devastating plague, the death of the firstborn.

Ninth Commandment:

The ninth commandment, as given in the Decalogue, is found in Exodus 20:16 and Deuteronomy 5:20:

· Exodus 20:16: "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor."

This commandment underscores the importance of truthfulness and integrity in relationships, prohibiting lying and deceitful testimony.

Ninth Stone in the New Jerusalem:

In the description of the New Jerusalem in the Book of Revelation, the ninth foundation stone is topaz:

· Revelation 21:20: "The fifth was sardonyx, the sixth carnelian, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth chrysoprase, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst."

The use of precious stones in the foundation of the New Jerusalem symbolizes the beauty and eternal value of God's heavenly city.

In summary, the term "ninth" in the Bible is associated with significant times, events, and commandments, each carrying its own theological and historical importance.
