sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here it means put in danger or at risk of harm. The verse is a proverb about how every kind of work has its own risks. Interpretation: Ecclesiastes is read as noting that even ordinary labor carries hazards, so a person needs wisdom and care to work safely. In the primary lessons: In science and geography lessons, endangered species include tigers, pandas, orangutans, sea turtles and kakapos; causes are loss of habitat, hunting, pollution and climate change. In everyday life, people help by protecting habitats and not buying products that harm them. Phrases: «endangered species», «critically endangered», «endangered animals».
