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, ye — and what happens in the verse, 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. כִּ֛י אִם־בַּיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֖ם תִּדְבָּ֑קוּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר עֲשִׂיתֶ֔ם עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [but cleave unto the LORD your God, as ye have done unto this day;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/JOS.639/) ## 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:616 # text = כִּ֛י אִם־בַּיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֖ם תִּדְבָּ֑קוּ כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר עֲשִׂיתֶ֔ם עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = JOS.23.8 1 כִּ֛י כִּי SCONJ _ ExtPos=SCONJ 7 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=JOS_23:8!1|MId=o060230080011|Strong=3588 2 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 1 fixed _ Gloss=(if)|Ref=JOS_23:8!2|MId=o060230080021|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 3-4 בַּיהוָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=JOS_23:8!3|MId=o060230080031|Strong=0871a 4 יהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=JOS_23:8!3|MId=o060230080032|Strong=3068 5-6 אֱלֹהֵיכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֱלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=JOS_23:8!4|MId=o060230080041|Strong=0430 6 כֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=JOS_23:8!4|MId=o060230080042|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 7 תִּדְבָּ֑קוּ דָּבַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.cling|Ref=JOS_23:8!5|MId=o060230080051|Strong=1692|Frame=A0:060230020041;|Type=yiqtol 8-9 כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 7 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=JOS_23:8!6|MId=o060230080061|Strong=3509a 9 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=JOS_23:8!6|MId=o060230080062|Strong=0834|Type=relative 10 עֲשִׂיתֶ֔ם עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 8 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.have.done|Ref=JOS_23:8!7|MId=o060230080071|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:060230020041;|Type=qatal 11 עַ֖ד עַד ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=JOS_23:8!8|MId=o060230080081|Strong=5704 12-13 הַיּ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=JOS_23:8!9|MId=o060230080091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 יּ֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=JOS_23:8!9|MId=o060230080092|Strong=3117 14-15 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=JOS_23:8!10|MId=o060230080101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 13 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=JOS_23:8!10|MId=o060230080102|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=JOS_23:8!10 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּדְבָּקוּ *you will cling* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | עֲשִׂיתֶם *you have done* | qatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
