sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here it describes every living creature that walks or creeps, which God now permits as food. It also means the motion of the lips. Interpretation: Tradition sees this as the first permission to eat meat, given after the flood and later limited by laws of what is kosher. In Job and Song of Songs, "moving" of the lips means the gentle movement of speech. In the primary lessons: an action in progress: moving boxes, a moving train or belt; motion with a speed; in safety, keep away from moving cars and machines; phrases «moving day», «moving truck», «moving walkway», «keep moving»
