### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: The ground or the whole world God made on the first day of creation, along with the heavens. Interpretation: The tradition teaches that God created heaven and earth as a gift for humans, and that the earth belongs to God, not to people. In the primary lessons: In science, Earth spins once a day (day and night) and goes around the Sun once a year (seasons with its tilt); it has land, oceans and air. In nature study, earth is soil. Phrases: on Earth, planet Earth, down to earth (sensible), what on earth, the ends of the earth, Earth Day.
