### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It is used for calming a king's anger, as with Ahasuerus, or for easing grief, as Job's friends ought to have done. Interpretation: Tradition reads Ahasuerus' calmed anger as part of the Purim story, where God's hand is hidden. Job's words show that real comfort needs kind words and not empty ones.
