### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Used as in everyday English: to throw something with force. In the law of the man-slayer it means throwing an object at someone. Interpretation: The law of the cities of refuge separates killing by accident from killing in hatred. A person who hurled something with no hatred and no ambush was to be judged as an accidental killer, not a murderer. In the primary lessons: In stories it shows strong, sudden, often angry action: storms hurl waves at the shore. In PE and Irish sport, hurling is a national game of Ireland. The slang sense appears in casual talk. Phrases: hurl abuse, hurl yourself at, hurl insults.
