### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah Aaron's rod budded to show that God had chosen the tribe of Levi for the priesthood. Job uses the bud as a picture of hope, since even a cut tree may bud again at the scent of water, and Ezekiel says that "arrogancy hath budded". Interpretation: Tradition sees the budding almond rod as a miracle that ended the people's complaints, and a sign that priesthood is given by God. The rabbis read Job's budding tree as a hope for renewal, and Ezekiel's budding pride as a sign that wrong grows until it is ripe for judgment. In the primary lessons: In science, buds appear in spring; a flower bud opens into a flower, which can make seeds; some tiny living things like yeast reproduce by budding. Taste buds are tiny parts of your tongue that sense flavours (sweet, sour, salty, bitter). Phrases: taste buds, nip it in the bud (stop a problem early), in bud, earbuds.
