sense in the lessons
In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: Here "thrown into the sea" describes God casting the Egyptian army into the Red Sea, in the Song at the Sea. Later books use "thrown down" for altars, walls and judges that are overthrown. Interpretation: Tradition sees this as the song of deliverance, sung by Moses and Israel and then by Miriam, and it is recited in daily prayer and on the seventh day of Passover. In the primary lessons: balls or other things thrown, counted; things thrown away are taken away; distances thrown are compared; in sport: the ball is thrown in, a javelin is thrown; in science and the environment: thrown-away rubbish should be recycled; phrases: «thrown away», «thrown out», «thrown in» (added free)
