sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here it means the pattern or design. God shows Moses the design of the tabernacle on the mountain. As a verb it means to shape or make, as God shaping people in the womb or builders shaping stone. Interpretation: Tradition says Moses was shown a heavenly pattern for the Tabernacle, so that the earthly building would match something higher. Job's question about being fashioned in the womb is read as showing that God made rich and poor alike. In the primary lessons: In everyday life fashion changes; things are «in fashion» or «out of fashion». In history lessons fashions show how people lived. In stories a character may fashion a tool from wood. Phrases: «in fashion», «out of fashion», «fashion show», «after a fashion» (not very well), «in an orderly fashion».
