### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: When God says "Mine", He claims the firstborn, the land and the people as His own. Interpretation: The rabbis read God's "Mine" as a sign that everything in the world belongs to Him, and people only hold it in trust. In the primary lessons: In grammar, «mine» is a possessive pronoun used alone (mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs). In geography and science, rocks and metals are mined from the ground; mining gives us materials but can harm the land. In history, children once worked in coal mines. In safety, old mines and mine shafts are deadly — never go in. Phrases: «a friend of mine», «coal mine», «gold mine», «a mine of information».
