Interpretation: Jeremiah's cell shows the prophet suffering for speaking God's word. Ezekiel's gate-cells are read as part of the visionary Temple plan, whose exact measures the sages saw as holy. In the primary lessons: In science, cells are tiny and seen with a microscope; plant cells have a cell wall and chloroplasts, animal cells do not. Your body has trillions of cells: blood cells, skin cells, nerve cells. In electricity, a cell pushes current around a circuit; several cells make a battery. In maths and computing, a table is made of rows, columns and cells. In bees' honeycomb, each hole is a cell. Phrases: blood cells, plant cell, cell wall, prison cell, cell phone, solar cell. ### examples - When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon-house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days; (Prophets JER.37.16, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/C/cell/#x1) - And he measured the gate from the roof of the one cell to the roof of the other, a breadth of five and twenty cubits; door against door.

In a table, each cell holds one value. ### In the corpora - [When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon-house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JER.1036/) - [Some cancer treatments make hair fall out because they attack fast-growing cells; the hair usually grows back after treatment.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/adult-life/21-hospitals-operations-and-serious-illness/14/) - [Water inside plant cells pushes outwards and keeps stems firm, like air in a balloon; without enough water the plant wilts.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/56-how-plants-grow/11/) - [The human body has about 30 trillion cells of many kinds, such as skin, bone, muscle, nerve and blood cells.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/64-cells-bones-and-muscles/6/) - [Red blood cells carry oxygen using iron-rich haemoglobin, white cells fight germs, and platelets help stop bleeding.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/biology/65-the-heart-and-blood/9/) ### Trees and pragmatics [Every meaning and example of «cell» parsed by Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/C/cell/), each sentence with its dependency tree and frames.
