sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah "bore" mostly means gave birth to a child. The later books use it the same way, in lists of families and in the prophets' stories. Interpretation: Tradition notes that the Torah often names who a mother bore, as part of the lines of the family that lead to Israel. The books of Chronicles continue these family lists, which the tradition reads as showing God's care for each generation. In the primary lessons: In everyday life «bored» and «boring» are very common: «I'm bored» means I have nothing interesting to do. In design and technology, to bore means to drill a hole. In geography, the Severn Bore in England is a famous tidal wave up a river. In stories, «bore» as the past of «bear» appears in phrases like «bore a child» or «bore the weight».
