sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: A tool for farming, and in war a cruel iron tool used on captives. As a verb it means to break up soil. Interpretation: Isaiah uses the farmer's careful work as a picture of God's wise and orderly ways. In the primary lessons: a farm tool in farm tales; in the lessons it names the kind of tool a peasant uses after the plough; in stories «a harrow» can also be a thing that causes great pain (verb: to distress someone)
