sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: "Furnish liberally" means to give generously, supplying a freed servant with a share of one's flock, grain and wine. In Jeremiah, "furnish thyself" means to get ready, packing one's belongings to go into exile. Interpretation: The law teaches that when a Hebrew servant goes free, the master must send him away with generous gifts, so he does not leave empty-handed. Jeremiah's words warn Egypt that it will not escape but must prepare for captivity. In the primary lessons: In everyday life a «furnished flat» comes with beds, tables and chairs; in the exam and formal voice «furnish with information» means «give information». Phrases: «furnished flat», «furnish with», «fully furnished».
