sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: It is used just as in everyday English, for moving the heavy well-stone. In Joshua God says He has "rolled away" the shame of Egypt, which gave the place Gilgal its name, and Isaiah speaks of a cloak "rolled in blood." Interpretation: Commentators noted that Jacob later rolled the stone alone, a sign of his great strength and love for Rachel. The rolling away of Egypt's reproach is read as the end of Israel's slave shame once the people were circumcised and entered the land. In the primary lessons: In maths: a die rolled, a ball rolled a distance, dough rolled out; numbers rolled on dice are often added. In everyday life: rolled oats, rolled-up sleeves. In science: how far a ball rolled on different surfaces. In stories: «the tears rolled down her cheeks», «the years rolled by».
