### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here it is used of a soul leaving the body at death. In Hosea it means turning away from God. Interpretation: Tradition reads Rachel's last moment as the soul leaving the body. She named her son Ben-oni, "son of my sorrow," and Jacob renamed him Benjamin. Hosea's "departing from the LORD" is read as Israel's unfaithfulness, like a wife leaving her husband. In the primary lessons: In timetables and stations «departing» or «departures» tells when transport leaves; maths problems use departure times to find journey length. «Departed» can be a euphemism for dead. Phrases: «departing from», «departing at», «the departing passengers».
