### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A land left desolate is empty because the people were sent away. Interpretation: Tradition reads this as the land getting back its sabbath years, which Israel had failed to keep. The land rests while the people are in exile. In the primary lessons: in tales, a lonely place, or a heart left alone and unhappy.
