### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Used for doing something two times, as when Moses struck the rock twice. Interpretation: Tradition says Moses' second strike of the rock was part of his mistake that kept him from entering the Land, and that Pharaoh's doubled dream showed the matter was certain. In the primary lessons: two times as many: «twice as many as N» is N × 2; also counts events that happen two times; phrases: «twice as many», «twice a day», «think twice»
