--- title: Deuteronomy 1:15 — So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and full of knowledge,… · Hebrew, tree and pragmatics description: So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and full of knowledge, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, tribe by tribe. Who acts: I. Deuteronomy 1:15 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum On --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU.1.15/) [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/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Deuteronomy](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/) / [chapter 1](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/1/) / 1:15 # Deuteronomy 1:15 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** I · **What happens:** take, make · **To what, where:** heads This is Deuteronomy 1:15 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — I — and what happens in the verse to heads, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Onkelos 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 34 chapters of Deuteronomy on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וָאֶקַּ֞ח אֶת־רָאשֵׁ֣י שִׁבְטֵיכֶ֗ם אֲנָשִׁ֤ים חֲכָמִים֙ וִֽידֻעִ֔ים וָאֶתֵּ֥ן אֹתָ֛ם רָאשִׁ֖ים עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם שָׂרֵ֨י אֲלָפִ֜ים וְשָׂרֵ֣י מֵא֗וֹת וְשָׂרֵ֤י חֲמִשִּׁים֙ וְשָׂרֵ֣י עֲשָׂרֹ֔ת וְשֹׁטְרִ֖ים לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶֽם׃ [So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men, and full of knowledge, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, tribe by tribe.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.14/) ## 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:DEU:14 # text = וָאֶקַּ֞ח אֶת־רָאשֵׁ֣י שִׁבְטֵיכֶ֗ם אֲנָשִׁ֤ים חֲכָמִים֙ וִֽידֻעִ֔ים וָאֶתֵּ֥ן אֹתָ֛ם רָאשִׁ֖ים עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם שָׂרֵ֨י אֲלָפִ֜ים וְשָׂרֵ֣י מֵא֗וֹת וְשָׂרֵ֤י חֲמִשִּׁים֙ וְשָׂרֵ֣י עֲשָׂרֹ֔ת וְשֹׁטְרִ֖ים לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶֽם׃ # verse = DEU.1.15 1-2 וָאֶקַּ֞ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_1:15!1|MId=o050010150011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶקַּ֞ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.took|Ref=DEU_1:15!1|MId=o050010150012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:050010050061;A1:050010150031;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_1:15!2|MId=o050010150021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 רָאשֵׁ֣י רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=the.chiefs|Ref=DEU_1:15!3|MId=o050010150031|Strong=7218 5-6 שִׁבְטֵיכֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 שִׁבְטֵי שֵׁבֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.tribes|Ref=DEU_1:15!4|MId=o050010150041|Strong=7626 6 כֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_1:15!4|MId=o050010150042|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 7 אֲנָשִׁ֤ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 appos _ Gloss=men|Ref=DEU_1:15!5|MId=o050010150051|Strong=0376 8 חֲכָמִים֙ חָכָם ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 amod _ Gloss=wise|Ref=DEU_1:15!6|MId=o050010150061|Strong=2450|Type=adjective 9-10 וִֽידֻעִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וִֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_1:15!7|MId=o050010150071|Strong=2050b 10 ידֻעִ֔ים יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 8 conj _ Gloss=known|Ref=DEU_1:15!7|MId=o050010150072|Strong=3045|Frame=A1:050010150051;|Type=participle_passive 11-12 וָאֶתֵּ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_1:15!8|MId=o050010150081|Strong=2050b 12 אֶתֵּ֥ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 conj _ Gloss=I.appointed|Ref=DEU_1:15!8|MId=o050010150082|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:050010050061;A1:050010150092;|Type=wayyiqtol 13-14 אֹתָ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_1:15!9|MId=o050010150091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14 ָ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=DEU_1:15!9|MId=o050010150092|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 15 רָאשִׁ֖ים רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 xcomp _ Gloss=chiefs|Ref=DEU_1:15!10|MId=o050010150101|Strong=7218 16-17 עֲלֵיכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 עֲלֵי עַל ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=DEU_1:15!11|MId=o050010150111|Strong=5921 17 כֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 nmod _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_1:15!11|MId=o050010150112|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 18 שָׂרֵ֨י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 appos _ Gloss=leaders|Ref=DEU_1:15!12|MId=o050010150121|Strong=8269 19 אֲלָפִ֜ים אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.thousands|Ref=DEU_1:15!13|MId=o050010150131|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 20-21 וְשָׂרֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_1:15!14|MId=o050010150141|Strong=2050b 21 שָׂרֵ֣י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=leaders|Ref=DEU_1:15!14|MId=o050010150142|Strong=8269 22 מֵא֗וֹת מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Plur 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hundreds|Ref=DEU_1:15!15|MId=o050010150151|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 23-24 וְשָׂרֵ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_1:15!16|MId=o050010150161|Strong=2050b 24 שָׂרֵ֤י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=leaders|Ref=DEU_1:15!16|MId=o050010150162|Strong=8269 25 חֲמִשִּׁים֙ חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Number=Plur 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.fifties|Ref=DEU_1:15!17|MId=o050010150171|Strong=2572|Type=cardinal_number 26-27 וְשָׂרֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_1:15!18|MId=o050010150181|Strong=2050b 27 שָׂרֵ֣י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=leaders|Ref=DEU_1:15!18|MId=o050010150182|Strong=8269 28 עֲשָׂרֹ֔ת עֲשָׂרָה NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.tens|Ref=DEU_1:15!19|MId=o050010150191|Strong=6235|Type=cardinal_number 29-30 וְשֹׁטְרִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_1:15!20|MId=o050010150201|Strong=2050b 30 שֹׁטְרִ֖ים שֹׁטֵר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=officials|Ref=DEU_1:15!20|MId=o050010150202|Strong=7860|Type=participle_active 31-33 לְשִׁבְטֵיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_1:15!21|MId=o050010150211|Strong=3807a 32 שִׁבְטֵי שֵׁבֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 30 nmod _ Gloss=tribes|Ref=DEU_1:15!21|MId=o050010150212|Strong=7626 33 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 32 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_1:15!21|MId=o050010150213|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=DEU_1:15!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
