sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: To leap and frolic like young animals. Jeremiah uses it for the wicked who celebrate, and Malachi uses it for the joy of the righteous. Interpretation: Malachi's "calves of the stall" are read as the joy of the righteous freed on the day of redemption. The "sun of righteousness" with healing is a sign of God's justice. In the primary lessons: in stories, young animals or children playing joyfully; «playful gambols» means happy games
