### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: "Hoar-frost" is frost, used to describe the manna's fine, white flakes. Interpretation: Tradition says the manna fell with a layer of dew below and above it, so it stayed fresh and clean. In the primary lessons: an old word for white-grey frost; in the lessons it can mean very old times
