### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In Isaiah it means the blood of the nations, poured out on the ground when God punishes them. Interpretation: Blood stands for life in the Torah, so pouring it out shows life itself being taken. Commentators read this as God's judgment on Israel's enemies.

- And I trod down the peoples in Mine anger, and made them drunk with My fury, and I poured out their lifeblood on the earth.' (Prophets ISA.63.6, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/L/lifeblood/#x1)
