### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: "Furthermore" is an old-style way of adding what God said next, as in God giving Moses a second sign. Interpretation: The leprous hand sign is read as a lesson to Moses about speaking against others, since he had doubted that Israel would believe him. In the primary lessons: In English writing lessons «furthermore» is a connective (conjunctive adverb) used in persuasive and discussion texts to add points: «Firstly…, Furthermore…, In conclusion…». In speeches and debates it makes an argument sound strong. In everyday speech people more often say «also», «and» or «what's more».
