### sense in the lessons

Interpretation: In the Sefer Yetzirah "paths" are the thirty-two paths of wisdom, which are ten numbers and twenty-two letters. Kabbalists see each path as a stage in how God made the world. In the primary lessons: In maths: a length walked, run or built; paths around gardens or fields; a path around a shape is like a perimeter; «there and back». In science: the path of the Moon around the Earth, the path of light. In everyday life and safety: stay on the path in the woods. In stories: a winding path through the forest.

### note

A length; walking it many times = multiply. A path around a shape is like a perimeter. Trap: «there and back» on a path is twice the length. Plural: paths. A path is narrower than a road; a «footpath» is for walkers. Safety: in parks and forests, staying on the path keeps you from getting lost.
