Later tradition calls the Torah a "tree of life" to those who hold it. In the primary lessons: a thing counted, planted or cut down; trees in a park or orchard with fruit on each; in science, trees give oxygen and homes for animals; phrases «climb a tree», «family tree», «Christmas tree», «tree house»
