In school maths: a thing counted; logs cut into pieces (cuts and pieces problems: pieces = cuts + 1); time per cut. In everyday life: logs for the fire, sitting on a log in the woods, a reading log at school. In science: animals living under logs; logging and forests. Phrases: «log in», «log out», «sleep like a log», «reading log».

### Note

Countable: «a log». «Log in» (two words as a verb), «login» (one word as a noun). Maths: pieces = cuts + 1 when cutting a log. Trap: «cut into 4 pieces» needs only 3 cuts, so time = 3 × time per cut. Safety: never share your login password.

## In Jewish tradition

The priest uses a log of oil in the purification offering for a person healed of tzara'at, waving it before the LORD.

**Interpretation.** The oil is part of the ritual that brings a healed person back into the community. Tradition holds that a log is the volume of about six eggs.

### Examples
