### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A freewill-offering was a gift to God that a person chose to bring, not one required by law or by a vow. Interpretation: Tradition separates it from a vow: a vow must be paid exactly, while a freewill-offering is generosity, so some flaws were allowed in it.
