sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: "Stirred up" means moved or inspired from within. The heart is seen as the place where wishes and wisdom start. Interpretation: Tradition praises the people who gave and worked for the Tabernacle because their hearts moved them, not because they were forced. Their skill is seen as a gift from God that they chose to use. In the primary lessons: In cooking and science, you stirred something to mix it or help it dissolve, like sugar in water. In stories, «stirred» shows a sleeping person or animal starting to wake, or the wind moving leaves. Phrases: «stirred up», «stirred in», «stirred from sleep».
