# Zechariah 3:7 זְכַרְיָה

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD, thou, I, My · **What happens:** say, walk, keep, judge, give, stand by · **To what, where:** ways, charge, house, courts, free access, thee · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Zechariah 3:7 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — LORD, thou, I, My — and what happens in the verse to ways, charge, house, courts, free access, thee, 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 14 chapters of Zechariah on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

['Thus saith the LORD of hosts: If thou wilt walk in My ways, and if thou wilt keep My charge, and wilt also judge My house, and wilt also keep My courts, then I will give thee free access among these that stand by.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/neviim/jps/ZEC.40/)

## 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.
