### sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah "words" can mean God's commands, as in the Ten "Words" at Sinai. Interpretation: The Ten Commandments are called "the ten words" in Hebrew (aseret hadibrot). In Sefer Yetzirah, God creates the world by speaking, using letters. In the primary lessons: the cue words that point to operations; a word problem is a maths problem told in sentences; phrases: «cue word», «word problem», «in other words», «keep your word», «word for word»
