# freshly

adverb (freshly)

«freshly» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

Very recently; only just: «freshly baked bread», «freshly cut grass». [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/F/freshly/#m1)

### In the lessons

Used almost always before a past participle to tell the reader something was done a moment ago, so it is new, clean or at its best: freshly made, freshly washed, freshly painted, freshly squeezed. In safety: «freshly painted» means wet paint — don't touch.

## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: Tradition reads the fresh olive leaf as a sign that the world was alive again after the Flood; some say its bitterness hinted that food from God is better than gifts from people. In the primary lessons: Used almost always before a past participle to tell the reader something was done a moment ago, so it is new, clean or at its best: freshly made, freshly washed, freshly painted, freshly squeezed. In safety: «freshly painted» means wet paint — don't touch.

### Examples

- And the dove came in to him at eventide; and lo in her mouth an olive-leaf freshly plucked; so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. (Torah GEN.8.11, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/F/freshly/#x1)
