### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A vessel of the Tabernacle: the golden pan holding incense, the baking pan for meal-offerings, and fire-pans for coals. Interpretation: The golden pans of incense brought by the chieftains are read as their offerings at the altar's dedication. The fire-pans of Korah's men were hammered into a covering for the altar as a warning. In the primary lessons: In school maths: a kitchen thing counted; cakes or cookies baked in pans («per pan» is a group size); the two pans of a scale. In everyday life: frying eggs in a pan, washing pans after dinner. In history: gold rush miners panned for gold in California, Australia and New Zealand. Phrases: «frying pan», «saucepan», «out of the frying pan into the fire» (from bad to worse).

### note

Countable: «a pan». «Pot» is deeper; «pan» is often wider and flatter. Maths: often «per pan» — a group size, so total = pans × each. Trap: on a scale, both pans must weigh the same when it balances. Safety: turn pan handles away from the edge of the cooker.
