sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In these books it means restless, noisy trouble, often from greed, violence or fear. Proverbs says wealth with turmoil is worse than a little with the fear of the LORD. Interpretation: Tradition reads these verses as teaching that peace of mind and reverence for God are worth more than riches, and that endless striving for wealth ends in anxiety. In the primary lessons: a state of disorder in a city or a mind; in tales the moon looks down on a busy, noisy city; in lessons it names a messy, upset situation
