[tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/U/uncovered/#m3) ### sense in the lessons In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Often used for exposed bodies, as when Noah lay uncovered or the altar must not expose nakedness. The prophets also use it for taking a shield out of its cover for war, and for shame laid bare as a punishment. Interpretation: Tradition says the altar had a ramp not steps so the priests would keep modesty and respect. It reads the prophets' "uncovered nakedness" as a sign of sin and of God's judgment on proud nations. In the primary lessons: Maths: the part of an area or set that is not covered: uncovered = whole − covered (area of the floor minus area of the rug). Science and history: archaeologists uncovered old bones. Stories: the detective uncovered the truth. Safety: uncovered food attracts flies. ### examples - And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent.
