sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah it means clothes, which a husband must provide for his wife and which God kept from wearing out in the wilderness. Interpretation: The law that a husband must not reduce his wife's food, clothing and conjugal rights is read as a basis of marriage duties. The unworn clothes in the wilderness are read as a sign of God's care. In the primary lessons: An old word in the Bible and old poems and stories. In the King James Bible: «Take no thought for your life... nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?» Today say «clothes».
