sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A bridegroom is a man at his wedding, newly married. In this strange verse it is used for Moses' circumcised son, or for Moses himself, as "bridegroom of blood." In the psalms and prophets it is also a picture of joy, and of God rejoicing over His people. Interpretation: The rabbis and commentators find this passage hard. Many read Zipporah as saving Moses or his son by performing the circumcision. Isaiah says God will rejoice over Zion as a bridegroom over his bride, and the tradition reads this as God's love for Israel. Joel's call for even the bridegroom to leave his chamber shows how urgent the fast is. In the primary lessons: a main character in a wedding story, who waits, arrives or is tricked
