sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the garden story it means without clothes, and the first people felt no shame at first, then fear after eating the fruit. In Job it also means poor and without cover, and exposed before God. Interpretation: Tradition reads their nakedness as a sign of innocence, and the new shame as the first sign that they had lost it. Job says even the nether-world is naked before God, meaning nothing can be hidden from Him. In the primary lessons: In science lessons «with the naked eye» means without tools: «you can see Venus with the naked eye». In safety lessons, a «naked flame» (open flame) is dangerous near gas. In everyday life babies run around naked after a bath. Phrases: the naked eye, stark naked, naked flame, the naked truth.
