### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: The law allows a court to give at most forty lashes, never more, so the guilty person is not shamed. Interpretation: The rabbis counted thirty-nine lashes to stay safely under the limit, so that no one would ever break the law by going over forty. In the primary lessons: Important in maths and safety: "do not exceed the dose", "speed must not exceed 30 mph". In maths, "exceeds 50" means "is more than 50" (not equal). Phrases: exceed the limit, exceed expectations.
