### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Many Torah places are named for valleys, where the Israelites camped and travelled on their way to the Promised Land. The prophets use names like the Valley of Vision and the valley of decision, where God judges the nations, and Job uses it for a farmer's field. In the primary lessons: In geography lessons, valleys are made over a very long time by rivers (V-shaped valleys) or glaciers (U-shaped valleys); people often build towns and farms in valleys because the land is flat and there is water. In safety, valleys can flood after heavy rain, and fog and cold air can collect there. Phrases: «a river valley», «down in the valley», «the valley floor», «Silicon Valley», «Death Valley».
