sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Writings "service" can also mean a person's hard time of work or duty on earth, as in Job, or the Temple worship, as when the service of the house of the LORD was set up again under Hezekiah. Interpretation: The "service" of the Levites was their carrying and caring for the Tabernacle, and later tradition calls prayer "service of the heart," taking the place of the Temple service. Job's "time of service" is read as the hard work of human life. In the primary lessons: In everyday life emergency services (police, fire, ambulance) come when you call 999, 911, 000 or 111; in restaurants good service is polite and quick. Phrases: «emergency services», «customer service», «community service», «out of service», «at your service».
