### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here Job is the name of a book of the Bible and of its main character, a righteous man who suffers and speaks with God. Interpretation: Job belongs to the Writings, the third part of the Tanakh. Its poetry is a source of ideas about depth and mystery that Sefer Yetzirah draws on. Tradition reads God's answer to Job as showing that human beings cannot fully understand God's ways. In the primary lessons: In school maths: a task done at a rate or for pay; jobs shared among people; pay per job (jobs × pay). In everyday life: jobs at home (chores), classroom jobs like monitor, people's jobs in the community (doctor, firefighter, teacher). Phrases: «a part-time job», «do a good job», «good job!», «odd jobs», «job done».
