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 days, land, children, 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. לְמַ֨עַן יִרְבּ֤וּ יְמֵיכֶם֙ וִימֵ֣י בְנֵיכֶ֔ם עַ֚ל הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר נִשְׁבַּ֧ע יְהוָ֛ה לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶ֖ם לָתֵ֣ת לָהֶ֑ם כִּימֵ֥י הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ס [that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, upon the land which the LORD swore unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.339/) ## 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:336 # text = לְמַ֨עַן יִרְבּ֤וּ יְמֵיכֶם֙ וִימֵ֣י בְנֵיכֶ֔ם עַ֚ל הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר נִשְׁבַּ֧ע יְהוָ֛ה לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶ֖ם לָתֵ֣ת לָהֶ֑ם כִּימֵ֥י הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם עַל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ס # verse = DEU.11.21 1 לְמַ֨עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=so.that|Ref=DEU_11:21!1|MId=o050110210011|Strong=4616 2 יִרְבּ֤וּ רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.may.increase|Ref=DEU_11:21!2|MId=o050110210021|Strong=7235|Frame=A0:050110210031;050110210042;|Type=yiqtol 3-4 יְמֵיכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 יְמֵי יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=days|Ref=DEU_11:21!3|MId=o050110210031|Strong=3117 4 כֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_11:21!3|MId=o050110210032|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 5-6 וִימֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וִ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_11:21!4|MId=o050110210041|Strong=2050b 6 ימֵ֣י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 conj _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=DEU_11:21!4|MId=o050110210042|Strong=3117 7-8 בְנֵיכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְנֵי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.children|Ref=DEU_11:21!5|MId=o050110210051|Strong=1121 8 כֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_11:21!5|MId=o050110210052|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 9 עַ֚ל עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DEU_11:21!6|MId=o050110210061|Strong=5921 10-11 הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_11:21!7|MId=o050110210071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 אֲדָמָ֔ה אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=DEU_11:21!7|MId=o050110210072|Strong=0127 12 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_11:21!8|MId=o050110210081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 13 נִשְׁבַּ֧ע שָׁבַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 11 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.swore|Ref=DEU_11:21!9|MId=o050110210091|Strong=7650|Frame=A0:050110210101;|Type=qatal 14 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 13 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_11:21!10|MId=o050110210101|Strong=3068 15-17 לַאֲבֹתֵיכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_11:21!11|MId=o050110210111|Strong=3807a 16 אֲבֹתֵי אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=ancestors|Ref=DEU_11:21!11|MId=o050110210112|Strong=0001 17 כֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_11:21!11|MId=o050110210113|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 18-19 לָתֵ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_11:21!12|MId=o050110210121|Strong=3807a 19 תֵ֣ת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 xcomp _ Gloss=give|Ref=DEU_11:21!12|MId=o050110210122|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:050110210101;A1:050110210072;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-21 לָהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 ל לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_11:21!13|MId=o050110210131|Strong=3807a 21 ָהֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=DEU_11:21!13|MId=o050110210132|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 כִּימֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 כִּ כְּ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=DEU_11:21!14|MId=o050110210141|Strong=3509a 23 ימֵ֥י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.days|Ref=DEU_11:21!14|MId=o050110210142|Strong=3117 24-25 הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_11:21!15|MId=o050110210151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 שָּׁמַ֖יִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.heavens|Ref=DEU_11:21!15|MId=o050110210152|Strong=8064 26 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=above|Ref=DEU_11:21!16|MId=o050110210161|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 27-28 הָאָֽרֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_11:21!17|MId=o050110210171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 אָֽרֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 25 nmod _ Gloss=earth|Ref=DEU_11:21!17|MId=o050110210172|Strong=0776 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=DEU_11:21!17|SpaceAfter=No 30 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=DEU_11:21!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִרְבּוּ *they may increase* | yiqtol · qal | יְמֵי *days* + ימֵי *the days* | | | | | נִשְׁבַּע *he swore* | qatal · niphal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | תֵת *give* | infinitive construct · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | אֲדָמָה *land* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
