Interpretation: Ezekiel shames the fat sheep who push the weak ones, and so condemns leaders who treat the poor harshly. Daniel's ram stands for a mighty empire. In the primary lessons: In maths: an action of the story: pushing a cart, a swing or buttons; sometimes counts how many times or how far; «push-ups» are counted exercises. In science: forces are pushes and pulls; a bigger push makes things speed up more. In everyday life and safety: «push» signs on doors; no pushing in queues. In stories: «push the boat out» means spend a lot to celebrate. ### examples - Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.

Trap: it does not mean taking away just because something moves away. Opposite: pull. In science a push is a force measured in newtons. Safety: pushing people on stairs or near water can cause bad accidents. ### In the corpora - [Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the weak with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/EZK.904/) - [Through Thee do we push down our adversaries; through Thy name do we tread them under that rise up against us.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PSA.716/) - [Tired adults often push on all day and only stop when they sit down, and a good night's sleep usually fixes it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/adult-life/34-when-grown-ups-are-tired-or-worried/12/) - [Asking for a joke about something very specific, like your own hamster, pushes a bot away from the oldest jokes.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/4-stories-jokes-and-riddles/7/) - [Recommendations may push videos that keep people watching, including angry or scary ones.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/school/ai/17-voice-assistants-recommendations/8/) ### Trees and pragmatics [Every meaning and example of «push» parsed by Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/P/push/), each sentence with its dependency tree and frames.
