sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It means pleading to God for others. In Jeremiah, God forbids the prophet to plead for the people because their guilt is too great.

In the primary lessons: in tales a wife's plea, or a helper's request, that saves a person from being killed or punished
