### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Often the seat of a king, like Pharaoh's. "The throne of the LORD" is a sign of God's rule. Interpretation: Tradition reads "the hand upon the throne of the LORD" as God's oath to fight Amalek, and says God's throne is not complete until Amalek is gone. In the primary lessons: In history lessons and fairy tales, a king or queen sits on a throne; a prince is «heir to the throne». «Come to the throne» means become ruler. As a joke, people call the toilet «the throne».
