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 — ye — and what happens in the verse to all, book, right hand, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan 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 24 chapters of Joshua on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַחֲזַקְתֶּ֣ם מְאֹ֔ד לִשְׁמֹ֣ר וְלַעֲשׂ֔וֹת אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַכָּת֔וּב בְּסֵ֖פֶר תּוֹרַ֣ת מֹשֶׁ֑ה לְבִלְתִּ֥י סוּר־מִמֶּ֖נּוּ יָמִ֥ין וּשְׂמֹֽאול׃ [Therefore be ye very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the book of the law of Moses, that ye turn not aside therefrom to the right hand or to the left;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.637/) ## 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:JOS:614 # text = וַחֲזַקְתֶּ֣ם מְאֹ֔ד לִשְׁמֹ֣ר וְלַעֲשׂ֔וֹת אֵ֚ת כָּל־הַכָּת֔וּב בְּסֵ֖פֶר תּוֹרַ֣ת מֹשֶׁ֑ה לְבִלְתִּ֥י סוּר־מִמֶּ֖נּוּ יָמִ֥ין וּשְׂמֹֽאול׃ # verse = JOS.23.6 1-2 וַחֲזַקְתֶּ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_23:6!1|MId=o060230060011|Strong=2050b 2 חֲזַקְתֶּ֣ם חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.be.strong|Ref=JOS_23:6!1|MId=o060230060012|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:060230020041;|Type=weqatal 3 מְאֹ֔ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=very|Ref=JOS_23:6!2|MId=o060230060021|Strong=3966 4-5 לִשְׁמֹ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_23:6!3|MId=o060230060031|Strong=3807a 5 שְׁמֹ֣ר שָׁמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=take.care|Ref=JOS_23:6!3|MId=o060230060032|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:060230020041;A1:060230060072;|Type=infinitive_construct 6-8 וְלַעֲשׂ֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_23:6!4|MId=o060230060041|Strong=2050b 7 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_23:6!4|MId=o060230060042|Strong=3807a 8 עֲשׂ֔וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 conj _ Gloss=do|Ref=JOS_23:6!4|MId=o060230060043|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:060230020041;A1:060230060072;|Type=infinitive_construct 9 אֵ֚ת אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=JOS_23:6!5|MId=o060230060051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 10 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=every|Ref=JOS_23:6!6|MId=o060230060061|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הַכָּת֔וּב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=(the).[thing]|Ref=JOS_23:6!7|MId=o060230060071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 כָּת֔וּב כָּתַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=written|Ref=JOS_23:6!7|MId=o060230060072|Strong=3789|Type=participle_passive 13-14 בְּסֵ֖פֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=JOS_23:6!8|MId=o060230060081|Strong=0871a 14 סֵ֖פֶר סֵפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=the.book|Ref=JOS_23:6!8|MId=o060230060082|Strong=5612 15 תּוֹרַ֣ת תּוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.law|Ref=JOS_23:6!9|MId=o060230060091|Strong=8451 16 מֹשֶׁ֑ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Moses|Ref=JOS_23:6!10|MId=o060230060101|Strong=4872 17-18 לְבִלְתִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_23:6!11|MId=o060230060111|Strong=3807a 18 בִלְתִּ֥י בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=JOS_23:6!11|MId=o060230060112|Strong=1115 19 סוּר־ סוּר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=to.turn.aside|Ref=JOS_23:6!12|MId=o060230060121|Strong=5493|Frame=A0:060230020041;|Type=infinitive_construct|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 מִמֶּ֖נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=JOS_23:6!13|MId=o060230060131|Strong=4480 21 ֶ֖נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=JOS_23:6!13|MId=o060230060132|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 22 יָמִ֥ין יָמִין NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=right.hand|Ref=JOS_23:6!14|MId=o060230060141|Strong=3225 23-24 וּשְׂמֹֽאול _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=JOS_23:6!15|MId=o060230060151|Strong=2050b 24 שְׂמֹֽאול שְׂמֹאל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=left.hand|Ref=JOS_23:6!15|MId=o060230060152|Strong=8040 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=JOS_23:6!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | חֲזַקְתֶּם *you will be strong* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | שְׁמֹר *take care* | infinitive construct · qal | | כָּתוּב *written* | | | | עֲשׂוֹת *do* | infinitive construct · qal | | כָּתוּב *written* | | | | סוּר־ *to turn aside* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
