It has nothing to do with a motor. Interpretation: Ezekiel's battering engines show the coming siege of Tyre. King Uzziah's engines show his cleverness and strength, which the tradition says later led him to pride. In the primary lessons: maths: a story word or a part counted, as in a plane with 2 engines (total = planes × engines each), or a fire engine; science: engines turn fuel into movement, electric motors; history: steam engines; everyday life: start the engine, the fire engine's siren; safety: move aside for fire engines ### examples - And he shall set his battering engines against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.
