In Avodah V37n57, R'Sholom asked:
> Somebody was musing last shabbos: Aharon died on 1 Av.  Do we know when
Miriam passed away?  Do we know when Moshe hit the rock? <
OU Webpage <https://www.ou.org/judaism-101/bh-yom-yom/nissan/> (found via
Google'ing
<https://www.google.com/search?q=miriam+yahrzeit&rlz=1C1CHBD_enUS851US851&oq=miriam+yahrzeit&aqs=chrome..69i57.4295j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8>)
says Miriam died 10 Nisan; the same set of Webpages
<https://www.ou.org/judaism-101/bh-yom-yom/> says MRAH hit the rock on 23
Iyyar.  An online copy of Seder Olam Rabba
<https://www.sefaria.org/Seder_Olam_Rabbah.9?vhe=Seder_Olam,_Warsaw_1904&lang=bi>
says (unless I'm misunderstanding it) that Miriam died on R'Ch' Nisan (see
Ch. 9); I don't see any rock-hitting dates there or in an online copy of
Seder Olam Zutta
<https://www.sefaria.org/Seder_Olam_Zutta.1?vhe=Seder_Olam_Zuta,_Rabbi_M._Grossberg._London,_1910&lang=bi>.
Looking forward to others' thoughts....
