### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: An earthen vessel is a clay pot. If an unclean creature falls into it, the pot must be broken, not just washed. Interpretation: The law holds that clay cannot be made clean once it is unclean, since it soaks up the uncleanness, so it must be smashed. In the primary lessons: in tales a pot or pitcher made of clay; in lessons things made of baked mud or clay
