Proverbs 24:29 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, the Targum, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/PRO.24.29/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Ketuvim](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/) / [Proverbs](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/PRO/) / [chapter 24](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/PRO/24/) / 24:29 # Proverbs 24:29 מִשְׁלֵי **Who acts:** you, I, blessing · **What happens:** not say, do, render, work · **To what, where:** blessing, me, man · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Proverbs 24:29 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Ketuvim — the Writings). The page gives the verse in Hebrew as the Westminster Leningrad Codex has it, its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies, built from MACULA Hebrew — and its pragmatics: who acts — you, I, blessing — and what happens in the verse to blessing, me, man, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of the Targum and the English of the Jewish Publication Society's 1917 translation, each English sentence with a tree of its own. It is one of the 31 chapters of Proverbs on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. אַל־תֹּאמַ֗ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר עָֽשָׂה־לִ֭י כֵּ֤ן אֶֽעֱשֶׂה־לּ֑וֹ אָשִׁ֖יב לָאִ֣ישׁ כְּפָעֳלֽוֹ׃ [Say not: 'I will do so to him as he hath done to me; I will render to the man according to his work.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/ketuvim/jps/PRO.716/) ## The tree {#tree} Right to left, as the Hebrew is read; a prefix or suffix is a word of its own, and a line under the words joins those written as one. Under each word its part of speech and MACULA's English gloss. ```conllu rtl gloss # sent_id = wlc:PRO:707 # text = אַל־תֹּאמַ֗ר כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר עָֽשָׂה־לִ֭י כֵּ֤ן אֶֽעֱשֶׂה־לּ֑וֹ אָשִׁ֖יב לָאִ֣ישׁ כְּפָעֳלֽוֹ׃ # verse = PRO.24.29 1 אַל־ אַל ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=do.not|Ref=PRO_24:29!1|MId=o200240290011|Strong=0408|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 2 תֹּאמַ֗ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=say|Ref=PRO_24:29!2|MId=o200240290021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:200240210041;|Type=jussive 3-4 כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=PRO_24:29!3|MId=o200240290031|Strong=3509a 4 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=PRO_24:29!3|MId=o200240290032|Strong=0834|Type=relative 5 עָֽשָׂה־ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.has.done|Ref=PRO_24:29!4|MId=o200240290041|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:200240290103;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 לִ֭י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לִ֭ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PRO_24:29!5|MId=o200240290051|Strong=3807a 7 י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=PRO_24:29!5|MId=o200240290052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 8 כֵּ֤ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=so|Ref=PRO_24:29!6|MId=o200240290061|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 9 אֶֽעֱשֶׂה־ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.will.do|Ref=PRO_24:29!7|MId=o200240290071|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:200240210041;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 לּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PRO_24:29!8|MId=o200240290081|Strong=3807a 11 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=PRO_24:29!8|MId=o200240290082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 אָשִׁ֖יב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 9 parataxis _ Gloss=I.will.repay|Ref=PRO_24:29!9|MId=o200240290091|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:200240210041;|Type=yiqtol 13-15 לָאִ֣ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=PRO_24:29!10|MId=o200240290101|Strong=3807a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=PRO_24:29!10|MId=o200240290101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=person|Ref=PRO_24:29!10|MId=o200240290102|Strong=0376 16-18 כְּפָעֳלֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=PRO_24:29!11|MId=o200240290111|Strong=3509a 17 פָעֳל פֹּעַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=to|Ref=PRO_24:29!11|MId=o200240290112|Strong=6467 18 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.deed|Ref=PRO_24:29!11|MId=o200240290113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 18 punct _ Ref=PRO_24:29!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · neg | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תֹּאמַר *say* | jussive · qal | | | | | | עָֽשָׂה־ *he has done* | qatal · qal | | | | | | אֶֽעֱשֶׂה־ *I will do* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | אָשִׁיב *I will repay* | yiqtol · hiphil | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
