### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Fine means of the best quality, as in "fine linen" or "fine flour" used in the Tabernacle and the offerings. Interpretation: Fine twined linen, woven with many threads, was used for the priests' clothes and the Tabernacle curtains. Tradition sees it as showing that holy things deserve the best. In the primary lessons: In everyday life, "I'm fine" is a usual answer to "How are you?" — but if you are not fine, it is good to say so. In science, fine sand has tiny grains. In money problems, a fine is money paid for breaking a rule. Phrases: I'm fine, that's fine, fine weather, fine print, fine-tune.
