### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In Zechariah it is the name of a shepherd's staff. In Psalm 90 it means God's kindness and favor. Interpretation: Zechariah's broken staff is read as the end of God's protection from the nations. Psalm 90's prayer for God's graciousness is traditionally credited to Moses. In the primary lessons: in tales the king's graciousness to a servant is a reward: the coachman thanked the King for his graciousness
