sense in the lessons

In Proverbs stripes are a punishment for fools, and a wise man learns more from a rebuke than a fool does from a hundred of them. Interpretation: "Stripe for stripe" is part of "an eye for an eye." The rabbis taught that it means paying fair money for the harm done. The limit of forty lashes keeps a punishment from becoming cruel, and later tradition gave thirty-nine so as never to go over. In the primary lessons: Maths: a thing counted on flags, shirts, animals or patterns; patterns of stripes that repeat. Science: zebras and tigers have stripes for camouflage. Everyday: a striped shirt, a stripy jumper, the stars and stripes (the US flag).
