sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In these verses "armed" means ready with weapons for war, and the arm is also a picture of strength. In Job and Isaiah, "the arm of God" or "an arm like God" means God's power to act and save. Interpretation: Tradition reads "the arm of the LORD" as God's saving power shown in the world. Isaiah's question about to whom it has been revealed is read as being about how few people notice it. In the primary lessons: In science: the arm has the upper arm, elbow, forearm, wrist and hand; bones (humerus, radius, ulna) and muscles (biceps, triceps) move it. In safety: keep arms inside a car or bus window; on rides keep arms inside. In everyday life: arm in arm, arm's length.
