sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Often means to come near, as in "drew near", or to pull out, as water from a well. In the Psalms and Prophets it also means to draw out anger, pulling a hand from the bosom, or to draw near to battle. Interpretation: Abraham "drawing near" to question God is read as a model of bold, caring prayer for others. The psalmist's asking whether God will "draw out" His anger is read as a plea for mercy. In the primary lessons: maths: making pictures or shapes counted; drawing shapes and graphs with a ruler; drawing cards or balls from a bag (take away, chance); a game ending in a draw (a tie); art: drawing and sketching; everyday life: draw the curtains, a prize draw; phrases: «draw a line», «draw near», «draw up a plan»
