sense in the lessons

In the Tanakh and Jewish tradition: In the Torah, one who has no settled home, like Cain or the Israelites in the desert. The prophets also use it for a homeless stranger in need, and Hosea says Israel will become "wanderers among the nations" for not listening to God. Interpretation: Cain's wandering is read as the result of his murder of Abel. The Israelites' wandering is punishment for their lack of faith. Hosea's words are read as a warning of exile, and Job's care for the needy wanderer is taken as a model of kindness. In the primary lessons: In stories, poems and old tales, wanderers are travellers, knights, pilgrims or lonely figures on the road; the word gives a feeling of freedom or loneliness. In science, «planet» comes from a Greek word meaning «wanderer», because planets move across the night sky against the stars. Phrases: «a lonely wanderer», «the wanderer returns».
