### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: This is the name for a voice from heaven that was heard after prophecy ended. In the book of Kings Bath-sheba is the wife of David and mother of Solomon, who speaks to the king for her son Adonijah. A bath was a measure, as in "a just bath". Interpretation: The tradition reads Bat Kol as an echo of God's voice that people can still hear after the prophets, guiding but not overruling the sages. Bath-sheba is remembered as the mother of King Solomon, who helped him become king. In the primary lessons: In hygiene lessons: baths and showers keep skin clean and remove germs and sweat. In safety: never leave a baby or toddler alone in a bath, even for a moment — they can drown in a few centimetres of water; check the water is not too hot with your elbow; electricity and water don't mix. Phrases: have/take a bath, run a bath, bath time, bubble bath, bathroom, bird bath.
