### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It means hitting a person so that he dies, or hitting an animal so that it dies. Interpretation: The law says life is precious. A killer is put to death, and a person who kills an animal pays for it, "life for life." The cities of refuge protect those who kill by accident. In the primary lessons: in fairy tales and battle stories a hero or beast is hurt so badly that it will die; the phrase «mortally afraid» shows great fear
