### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Carried out, as in judgments brought on Egypt's gods or God's justice done by Gad's tribe. In the Prophets and Writings it also means a king carrying out justice, and a judgment carried out on a wicked king. Interpretation: Tradition reads the judgments on Egypt's gods as meaning the idols themselves were destroyed during the plagues. David's carrying out of "justice and righteousness" is taken as the model of a good king. In the primary lessons: In sport and plans: «a well-executed move». In history lessons: kings and criminals who were executed. In computing: code is executed. It tells the reader something was done fully, or about a death as punishment.
