Interpretation: A dry meal-offering is one without oil, and the dry land stands for the order that God gave to the world. In the primary lessons: In science, things dry when water evaporates into the air; heat and wind make things dry faster; deserts are dry places. In everyday life: dry your hands after washing; dry grass catches fire easily. Phrases: dry up, dry off, blow-dry, dry land, high and dry.
