[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/S/stomach/#m3) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Sefer Yetzirah gives each Hebrew letter a month, a zodiac sign and a body part. Samech goes with Kislev, Sagittarius and the stomach, and the stomach is linked with sleep. In Isaiah a "stomacher" is a fine, rich breast-garment, which will be replaced by sackcloth. Interpretation: The Sefer Yetzirah links the stomach with sleep. Isaiah's list is read as a warning that the proud pleasures of the rich women of Jerusalem will be lost. In the primary lessons: In science the stomach is part of the digestive system: food goes down the food pipe to the stomach, where strong acid and muscles mash it, then on to the intestines. In health lessons: a stomach ache can come from eating too much, germs or worry; «butterflies in your stomach» is the nervous feeling before something big. Phrases: stomach ache, an upset stomach, on an empty stomach, butterflies in my stomach, lie on your stomach. ### examples - He produced Samech, predominant in sleep, crowned, combined, and formed Sagittarius in the world, Kislev in the year, and the stomach of man.
