### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here it means to use up completely, such as water or strength running out. Job also uses it for passing time: days spent without hope, or spent in prosperity. Interpretation: God says He will use up His arrows, a picture of punishment. The water spent in Hagar's bottle is read as a time of great danger when God then showed her a well. In the primary lessons: the same as pay: «How much does A spend» asks for all A paid: add the costs; money left = money at first − money spent; time spent is added like other times; phrases: «spend on», «spend time», «spend the night», «spend wisely»
