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 — ye, I — and what happens in the verse to commandment, land, 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. וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַמִּצְוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֛ר אָנֹכִ֥י מְצַוְּךָ֖ הַיּ֑וֹם לְמַ֣עַן תֶּחֶזְק֗וּ וּבָאתֶם֙ וִֽירִשְׁתֶּ֣ם אֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֛ם עֹבְרִ֥ים שָׁ֖מָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃ [Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I command thee this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go over to possess it;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.326/) ## 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:323 # text = וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַמִּצְוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֛ר אָנֹכִ֥י מְצַוְּךָ֖ הַיּ֑וֹם לְמַ֣עַן תֶּחֶזְק֗וּ וּבָאתֶם֙ וִֽירִשְׁתֶּ֣ם אֶת־הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֛ם עֹבְרִ֥ים שָׁ֖מָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃ # verse = DEU.11.8 1-2 וּשְׁמַרְתֶּם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_11:8!1|MId=o050110080011|Strong=2050b 2 שְׁמַרְתֶּם֙ שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.keep|Ref=DEU_11:8!1|MId=o050110080012|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:050110060261;A1:050110080042;|Type=weqatal 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_11:8!2|MId=o050110080021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_11:8!3|MId=o050110080031|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַמִּצְוָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_11:8!4|MId=o050110080041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 מִּצְוָ֔ה מִצְוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=commandment|Ref=DEU_11:8!4|MId=o050110080042|Strong=4687 7 אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_11:8!5|MId=o050110080051|Strong=0834|Type=relative 8 אָנֹכִ֥י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DEU_11:8!6|MId=o050110080061|Strong=0595|Type=personal 9-10 מְצַוְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 מְצַוּ צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 4 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[am].commanding|Ref=DEU_11:8!7|MId=o050110080071|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:050110080061;A2:050110080072;A1:050110080042;|Type=participle_active 10 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_11:8!7|MId=o050110080072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11-12 הַיּ֑וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_11:8!8|MId=o050110080081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 יּ֑וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=DEU_11:8!8|MId=o050110080082|Strong=3117 13 לְמַ֣עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=so.that|Ref=DEU_11:8!9|MId=o050110080091|Strong=4616 14 תֶּחֶזְק֗וּ חָזַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you.may.be.strong|Ref=DEU_11:8!10|MId=o050110080101|Strong=2388|Frame=A0:050110060261;|Type=yiqtol 15-16 וּבָאתֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_11:8!11|MId=o050110080111|Strong=2050b 16 בָאתֶם֙ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 14 conj _ Gloss=you.will.go|Ref=DEU_11:8!11|MId=o050110080112|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:050110060261;|Type=weqatal 17-18 וִֽירִשְׁתֶּ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וִֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_11:8!12|MId=o050110080121|Strong=2050b 18 ירִשְׁתֶּ֣ם יָרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 14 conj _ Gloss=you.will.take.possession.of|Ref=DEU_11:8!12|MId=o050110080122|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:050110060261;A1:050110080142;|Type=weqatal 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_11:8!13|MId=o050110080131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 הָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_11:8!14|MId=o050110080141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=land|Ref=DEU_11:8!14|MId=o050110080142|Strong=0776 22 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 24 mark _ Gloss=where|Ref=DEU_11:8!15|MId=o050110080151|Strong=0834|Type=relative 23 אַתֶּ֛ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_11:8!16|MId=o050110080161|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 24 עֹבְרִ֥ים עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 21 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].about.to.pass.over|Ref=DEU_11:8!17|MId=o050110080171|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:050110080161;|Type=participle_active 25-26 שָׁ֖מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 שָׁ֖מּ שָׁם ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_11:8!18|MId=o050110080181|Strong=8033 26 ָה ה X _ _ 25 nmod _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=DEU_11:8!18|MId=o050110080182|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 27-29 לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_11:8!19|MId=o050110080191|Strong=3807a 28 רִשְׁתּ יָרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 24 advcl _ Gloss=take|Ref=DEU_11:8!19|MId=o050110080192|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:050110060261;A1:050110080193;|Type=infinitive_construct 29 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 obj _ Gloss=possession.of.it|Ref=DEU_11:8!19|MId=o050110080193|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=DEU_11:8!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
