### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: The listed word does not appear as such; the lines use "spared" and "sparing," meaning to hold back from harm, or meager. Interpretation: Tradition sees God's sparing as mercy and patience, which gives people time to repent. In the primary lessons: in tales a spar is a broken piece of wood a shipwreck victim clings to; in the rock sense it is a glittering stone in caves
