sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: To expiate is to have sin wiped away or atoned for, often by a sacrifice or by God's mercy. Interpretation: The tradition teaches that after the Temple fell, kindness, truth, prayer and repentance take the place of sacrifice in atoning for sin. Isaiah's lips touched by a coal show a prophet being cleansed for his task. In the primary lessons: in old tales, a wicked person suffers or does penance to pay for a sin
