[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/L/live/#m6) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It also means to live on, as in "live for ever," a greeting to a king, and the question whether the dead may live again. Interpretation: Judaism puts great weight on life. The law says saving a life overrides almost every commandment, and the toast "L'chaim" means "to life." Job's questions about whether the wicked live and prosper, and whether a dead man lives again, are read by the tradition as a search for God's justice and the hope of resurrection. In the primary lessons: In maths problems it is mostly a word of the story; sometimes people or animals living in a place are counted (4 people live in the house). It tells where things are, not what to do. In science: living things grow, need food and water, and reproduce. In safety: never touch a live wire. In stories: «they lived happily ever after». ### examples - And they said: 'Thou hast saved our lives.

Trap: «lives» can be the verb (she lives here) or the plural of «life» (a cat has 9 lives, said with a long i). «Alive» comes after a verb (the fish is alive); «live» comes before a noun (live fish). Maths: no operation on its own. ### In the corpora - [And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.121/) - [And Seth lived a hundred and five years, and begot Enosh.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.122/) - [And Seth lived after he begot Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.123/) - [And Enosh lived ninety years, and begot Kenan.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.125/) - [And Enosh lived after he begot Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begot sons and daughters.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/GEN.126/) ### Trees and pragmatics [Every meaning and example of «live» parsed by Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/L/live/), each sentence with its dependency tree and frames.
