sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Kindling fire is forbidden on the Sabbath, and the rabbis counted it among the main kinds of work that may not be done on that day. The prophets use it for God sending a fire of punishment on a city, and Proverbs uses it for stirring up strife. Interpretation: Tradition reads this as one of the Sabbath's forbidden works, which is why Sabbath lights are lit before the day begins and not during it. Malachi is read as saying that offerings should not be kindled on the altar without sincere hearts. In the primary lessons: in the tales, to light a fire with sticks; in old use also to stir up feelings
