In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Used for the inhabited earth, the world where people live. Interpretation: The Wisdom of Proverbs 8 pictures wisdom playing in the world before people, which tradition reads as Torah being God's plan for creation. In the primary lessons: In science lessons about space, the «habitable zone» (Goldilocks zone) is the area around a star where a planet is not too hot or too cold for liquid water. In geography, some places like deserts and ice caps are hardly habitable. In everyday life, a house must be habitable (safe, with water and heating) before a family moves in.
