sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In "be fruitful and multiply" and in stories like Noah's, growth is seen as a sign of God's blessing, though here it also means flood waters rising. In the later books it is used for a person's wealth, for followers gathering around Absalom, and for God making Israel numerous and strong in Egypt. Interpretation: Tradition sees Israel's growth in Egypt as God keeping His promise to the fathers. In the primary lessons: a change that adds: «increased by 5» adds 5, «increased to 20» gives the new amount; in science: the temperature increased as we heated the water; in everyday life: prices increased, the number of pupils increased; phrases: «increased by», «increased to», «increased from … to»
