### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Tyre was a rich Phoenician port city on the coast north of Israel. Its king Hiram helped David and Solomon build, and the prophets later warned Tyre about its pride and wealth. Interpretation: The prophets Isaiah and Ezekiel declared that Tyre's pride and trading wealth would fall. Tradition reads this as a lesson that riches and power do not last without justice. In the primary lessons: In everyday life and safety: check your bike tyres have enough air before you ride; worn tyres slip on wet roads. In science, the grooves (tread) on tyres give grip by increasing friction. Phrases: flat tyre, spare tyre, pump up a tyre, tyre pressure.
