# lifeblood

noun

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

## In Jewish tradition

In Isaiah it means the blood of the nations, poured out on the ground when God punishes them.

**Interpretation.** Blood stands for life in the Torah, so pouring it out shows life itself being taken. Commentators read this as God's judgment on Israel's enemies.

### Meaning

The blood that carries life in a body, or the thing a person's life depends on. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/L/lifeblood/#m1)
