# Proverbs 28:24 מִשְׁלֵי

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** Whoso, favour, same · **What happens:** rob, say, be · **To what, where:** father, transgression, companion · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Proverbs 28:24 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 — Whoso, favour, same — and what happens in the verse to father, transgression, companion, 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.

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.

## Pragmatics {#pragmatics}

<!-- sa -->
- form: statement
- act: assert
- voice: character
- speech: a frame and its quote
- negation: yes
- the frame alone: decl · assert · none

<!-- .fr -->
| verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| גּוֹזֵל *\[one who\] robs* | participle active · qal |  | אָבִי *father* + אִמּ *mother* |  |  |
| **not** אֹמֵר *\[one who\] says* | participle active · qal | גּוֹזֵל *\[one who\] robs* | אֵֽין־ *there \[is\] not* |  |  |

<!-- .note -->
MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

## The Targum {#onkelos}

<!-- .varc dir=rtl lang=arc -->
דְגָזֵל לַאֲבוּי וּלְאִמֵיהּ וַאֲמַר לֵית חוֹבָא חַבְרָא הוּא לְגַבְרָא מְחַבְּלָנָא:

<!-- .note -->
The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.
