sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Means forced out or pushed away, like enemies driven from the land or lost animals driven off. In poems it is also used for a leaf blown by wind or a wicked person chased from the world. Interpretation: The law of returning a lost animal teaches that one must not ignore a neighbor's loss. Job's "driven leaf" shows a person feeling weak and helpless before God. In the primary lessons: distance travelled by car: miles driven, speed × time; in science: machines driven by electricity, wind or water; in everyday life and safety: wear a seat belt whenever you are driven anywhere; in stories: a driven hero who never gives up
