### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Nahum says God will end Nineveh with an overrunning flood, like a flood or an army that sweeps over it. Interpretation: Tradition reads it as God's judgment on a cruel empire, showing that no power lasts if it does evil. In the primary lessons: in stories a house is overrun with mice, or a land is overrun by war; in talk «the kitchen was overrun with ants»
