sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here it means the master is made to pay a penalty under the law, not just made to suffer something unpleasant. In Job and Proverbs it also means suffering for wrongdoing or folly, and judges punish crimes. Interpretation: The Torah's law treats killing a servant as a crime; the rabbis read the "punishment" as the killer being put to death by the sword. Proverbs teaches that the wise avoid danger while the foolish suffer for it. In the primary lessons: In everyday life and school, children may be punished with a time-out, losing a privilege or a detention for breaking rules; adults may be punished by law with fines or prison. In stories, villains are often punished in the end, which tells the reader that wrongdoing has consequences. In manners and fairness lessons, a punishment should be fair and fit what was done; punishing the whole class for one person can feel unfair. Phrases: «punished for», «be punished», «go unpunished».
