### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Prescribed means set or fixed. God "prescribed" a limit for the sea, and the psalmist speaks of a book written for him. Interpretation: God's setting limits for the sea shows His rule over nature. The psalmist's roll is read as the Torah that is written for each person. In the primary lessons: In health and safety, prescribed medicine is only for the person it was given to, and only at the prescribed dose. In exams the formal sense appears: «use the prescribed method» or «within the prescribed time». Phrases: prescribed medicine, prescribed dose, as prescribed.
