[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/R/report/#m5) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah it often means a rumor or news that is passed around, and it can be true or false. Interpretation: The law against a "false report" is read as forbidding spreading lies and slander, and the spies' "evil report" about the land is seen as a serious sin of speech. In the primary lessons: In writing lessons, children write non-chronological reports and science reports with headings, facts and pictures. In science, a lab report explains the question, method, results and conclusion. In safety, report bullying, accidents, strangers or online problems to a trusted adult; this is not tattling. In news, reporters report stories. Phrases: school report, book report, weather report, news report, report to, report back. ### examples - Thou shalt not utter a false report; put not thy hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous witness.
