### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In Jeremiah, Israel is said to recline under every green tree, a picture of worshipping idols on high places. This is called playing the harlot, meaning being unfaithful to God. Interpretation: Abraham offers his three guests a place to rest under the tree. Abraham's welcome of the travelers is held up by tradition as the model of hospitality. Jeremiah's verse is read as the opposite: people resting under trees to worship idols and leaving God. In the primary lessons: in stories, a person or animal lying down comfortably on grass, a bed or cushions
