sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In Sefer Yetzirah it means guilt or wrongdoing, set against merit on a scale. Interpretation: The text pictures the three mother letters as a balance with merit on one side, guilt on the other and the tongue between them. Tradition reads this as a person's power to choose between good and wrong.
