Deuteronomy 12:1 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 191 --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU.12.1/) [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 12](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/12/) / 12:1 # Deuteronomy 12:1 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** These, ye, LORD · **What happens:** be, observe, do, give, possess, live · **To what, where:** statutes, ordinances, land, days, earth This is Deuteronomy 12:1 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 — These, ye, LORD — and what happens in the verse to statutes, ordinances, land, days, earth, 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. אֵ֠לֶּה הַֽחֻקִּ֣ים וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִים֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּשְׁמְר֣וּן לַעֲשׂוֹת֒ בָּאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁר֩ נָתַ֨ן יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֧י אֲבֹתֶ֛יךָ לְךָ֖ לְרִשְׁתָּ֑הּ כָּל־הַיָּמִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־אַתֶּ֥ם חַיִּ֖ים עַל־הָאֲדָמָֽה׃ [These are the statutes and the ordinances, which ye shall observe to do in the land which the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath given thee to possess it, all the days that ye live upon the earth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.351/) ## 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:348 # text = אֵ֠לֶּה הַֽחֻקִּ֣ים וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִים֮ אֲשֶׁ֣ר תִּשְׁמְר֣וּן לַעֲשׂוֹת֒ בָּאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁר֩ נָתַ֨ן יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֧י אֲבֹתֶ֛יךָ לְךָ֖ לְרִשְׁתָּ֑הּ כָּל־הַיָּמִ֔ים אֲשֶׁר־אַתֶּ֥ם חַיִּ֖ים עַל־הָאֲדָמָֽה׃ # verse = DEU.12.1 1 אֵ֠לֶּה אֵלֶּה PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 0 root _ Gloss=these|Ref=DEU_12:1!1|MId=o050120010011|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 2-3 הַֽחֻקִּ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 3 det _ Gloss=[are].the|Ref=DEU_12:1!2|MId=o050120010021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 3 חֻקִּ֣ים חֹק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 1 nsubj _ Gloss=statutes|Ref=DEU_12:1!2|MId=o050120010022|Strong=2706 4-6 וְהַמִּשְׁפָּטִים֮ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_12:1!3|MId=o050120010031|Strong=2050b 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_12:1!3|MId=o050120010032|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 מִּשְׁפָּטִים֮ מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 conj _ Gloss=judgments|Ref=DEU_12:1!3|MId=o050120010033|Strong=4941 7 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_12:1!4|MId=o050120010041|Strong=0834|Type=relative 8-9 תִּשְׁמְר֣וּן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 תִּשְׁמְר֣וּ שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_12:1!5|MId=o050120010051|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:050110060261;|Type=yiqtol 9 ן נ X _ _ 8 nmod _ Gloss=will.take.care|Ref=DEU_12:1!5|MId=o050120010052|Strong=4993b|Type=paragogic_nun 10-11 לַעֲשׂוֹת֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_12:1!6|MId=o050120010061|Strong=3807a 11 עֲשׂוֹת֒ עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 advcl _ Gloss=observe|Ref=DEU_12:1!6|MId=o050120010062|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050110060261;A1:050120010022;050120010033;|Type=infinitive_construct 12-14 בָּאָ֕רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_12:1!7|MId=o050120010071|Strong=0871a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_12:1!7|MId=o050120010071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 אָ֕רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=DEU_12:1!7|MId=o050120010072|Strong=0776 15 אֲשֶׁר֩ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_12:1!8|MId=o050120010081|Strong=0834|Type=relative 16 נָתַ֨ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.has.given|Ref=DEU_12:1!9|MId=o050120010091|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:050120010101;A1:050120010073;|Type=qatal 17 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_12:1!10|MId=o050120010101|Strong=3068 18 אֱלֹהֵ֧י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=DEU_12:1!11|MId=o050120010111|Strong=0430 19-20 אֲבֹתֶ֛יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 אֲבֹתֶ֛י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.ancestors|Ref=DEU_12:1!12|MId=o050120010121|Strong=0001 20 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_12:1!12|MId=o050120010122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 21-22 לְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 ל לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_12:1!13|MId=o050120010131|Strong=3807a 22 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_12:1!13|MId=o050120010132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23-25 לְרִשְׁתָּ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_12:1!14|MId=o050120010141|Strong=3807a 24 רִשְׁתּ יָרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 16 xcomp _ Gloss=take|Ref=DEU_12:1!14|MId=o050120010142|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:050110060261;A1:050120010143;|Type=infinitive_construct 25 ָ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 obj _ Gloss=possession.of.it|Ref=DEU_12:1!14|MId=o050120010143|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 26 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_12:1!15|MId=o050120010151|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 27-28 הַיָּמִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_12:1!16|MId=o050120010161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 יָּמִ֔ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=days|Ref=DEU_12:1!16|MId=o050120010162|Strong=3117 29 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 31 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_12:1!17|MId=o050120010171|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 30 אַתֶּ֥ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 31 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_12:1!18|MId=o050120010181|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 31 חַיִּ֖ים חַי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 26 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].alive|Ref=DEU_12:1!19|MId=o050120010191|Strong=2416|Type=adjective 32 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DEU_12:1!20|MId=o050120010201|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 33-34 הָאֲדָמָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 34 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_12:1!21|MId=o050120010211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 34 אֲדָמָֽה אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 31 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=DEU_12:1!21|MId=o050120010212|Strong=0127 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=DEU_12:1!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
