### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: They were made of brass, like the sockets of the courtyard. Ezekiel says vine wood is too weak even for a pin to hang a vessel on. In the primary lessons: In safety, keep pins and needles away from babies, put them back in a pin cushion, and never share your PIN or passwords. In sewing and art, pins hold fabric before stitching; drawing pins (UK) or thumbtacks (US) fix paper to a board. In bowling, you knock down pins. Phrases: «pins and needles» (tingling in a sleeping leg), «pin your hopes on», «hear a pin drop» (total silence), «safety pin».
