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 — and what happens in the verse to tribe, ark, name, 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. בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֗וא הִבְדִּ֤יל יְהוָה֙ אֶת־שֵׁ֣בֶט הַלֵּוִ֔י לָשֵׂ֖את אֶת־אֲר֣וֹן בְּרִית־יְהוָ֑ה לַעֲמֹד֩ לִפְנֵ֨י יְהוָ֤ה לְשָֽׁרְתוֹ֙ וּלְבָרֵ֣ךְ בִּשְׁמ֔וֹ עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [At that time the LORD separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto Him, and to bless in His name, unto this day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.304/) ## 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:301 # text = בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֗וא הִבְדִּ֤יל יְהוָה֙ אֶת־שֵׁ֣בֶט הַלֵּוִ֔י לָשֵׂ֖את אֶת־אֲר֣וֹן בְּרִית־יְהוָ֑ה לַעֲמֹד֩ לִפְנֵ֨י יְהוָ֤ה לְשָֽׁרְתוֹ֙ וּלְבָרֵ֣ךְ בִּשְׁמ֔וֹ עַ֖ד הַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = DEU.10.8 1-3 בָּעֵ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=DEU_10:8!1|MId=o050100080011|Strong=0871a 2 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_10:8!1|MId=o050100080011ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 עֵ֣ת עֵת NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=time|Ref=DEU_10:8!1|MId=o050100080012|Strong=6256 4-5 הַהִ֗וא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_10:8!2|MId=o050100080021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 הִ֗וא הִיא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=DEU_10:8!2|MId=o050100080022|Strong=1931a|Type=personal 6 הִבְדִּ֤יל בָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.set.apart|Ref=DEU_10:8!3|MId=o050100080031|Strong=0914|Frame=AA:050100080041;A0:050100080061;|Type=qatal 7 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_10:8!4|MId=o050100080041|Strong=3068 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_10:8!5|MId=o050100080051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9 שֵׁ֣בֶט שֵׁבֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=the.tribe|Ref=DEU_10:8!6|MId=o050100080061|Strong=7626 10-11 הַלֵּוִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_10:8!7|MId=o050100080071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 לֵּוִ֔י לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.Levite[s]|Ref=DEU_10:8!7|MId=o050100080072|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 12-13 לָשֵׂ֖את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_10:8!8|MId=o050100080081|Strong=3807a 13 שֵׂ֖את נָשָׂא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 advcl _ Gloss=carry|Ref=DEU_10:8!8|MId=o050100080082|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:050100080061;A1:050100080101;|Type=infinitive_construct 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_10:8!9|MId=o050100080091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15 אֲר֣וֹן אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 obj _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=DEU_10:8!10|MId=o050100080101|Strong=0727 16 בְּרִית־ בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.covenant|Ref=DEU_10:8!11|MId=o050100080111|Strong=1285|SpaceAfter=No 17 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=DEU_10:8!12|MId=o050100080121|Strong=3068 18-19 לַעֲמֹד֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_10:8!13|MId=o050100080131|Strong=3807a 19 עֲמֹד֩ עָמַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 conj _ Gloss=stand|Ref=DEU_10:8!13|MId=o050100080132|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:050100080061;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-21 לִפְנֵ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=DEU_10:8!14|MId=o050100080141|Strong=3807a 21 פְנֵ֨י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 19 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_10:8!14|MId=o050100080142|Strong=6440 22 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_10:8!15|MId=o050100080151|Strong=3068 23-25 לְשָֽׁרְתוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_10:8!16|MId=o050100080161|Strong=3807a 24 שָֽׁרְת שָׁרַת VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 19 advcl _ Gloss=serve|Ref=DEU_10:8!16|MId=o050100080162|Strong=8334|Frame=A0:050100080061;A1:050100080163;|Type=infinitive_construct 25 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obj _ Gloss=him|Ref=DEU_10:8!16|MId=o050100080163|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-28 וּלְבָרֵ֣ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 28 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_10:8!17|MId=o050100080171|Strong=2050b 27 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_10:8!17|MId=o050100080172|Strong=3807a 28 בָרֵ֣ךְ בָּרַךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 13 conj _ Gloss=bless|Ref=DEU_10:8!17|MId=o050100080173|Strong=1288|Frame=A0:050100080061;|Type=infinitive_construct 29-31 בִּשְׁמ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_10:8!18|MId=o050100080181|Strong=0871a 30 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 obl _ Gloss=name|Ref=DEU_10:8!18|MId=o050100080182|Strong=8034 31 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_10:8!18|MId=o050100080183|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 32 עַ֖ד עַד ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=until|Ref=DEU_10:8!19|MId=o050100080191|Strong=5704 33-34 הַיּ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 34 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_10:8!20|MId=o050100080201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 34 יּ֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=DEU_10:8!20|MId=o050100080202|Strong=3117 35-36 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 35 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 36 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_10:8!21|MId=o050100080211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 36 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 34 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_10:8!21|MId=o050100080212|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 37 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 36 punct _ Ref=DEU_10:8!21 ``` ##
