Deuteronomy 12:25 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU.12.25/) [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/) / 12:25 # Deuteronomy 12:25 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** Thou, life · **What happens:** not eat, go, do, be · **To what, where:** life, that, eyes This is Deuteronomy 12:25 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 — Thou, life — and what happens in the verse to life, that, eyes, 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. לֹ֖א תֹּאכְלֶ֑נּוּ לְמַ֨עַן יִיטַ֤ב לְךָ֙ וּלְבָנֶ֣יךָ אַחֲרֶ֔יךָ כִּֽי־תַעֲשֶׂ֥ה הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ [Thou shalt not eat it; that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou shalt do that which is right in the eyes of the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.375/) ## 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:372 # text = לֹ֖א תֹּאכְלֶ֑נּוּ לְמַ֨עַן יִיטַ֤ב לְךָ֙ וּלְבָנֶ֣יךָ אַחֲרֶ֔יךָ כִּֽי־תַעֲשֶׂ֥ה הַיָּשָׁ֖ר בְּעֵינֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = DEU.12.25 1 לֹ֖א לֹא ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_12:25!1|MId=o050120250011|Strong=3808|Type=negative 2-3 תֹּאכְלֶ֑נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 תֹּאכְל אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_12:25!2|MId=o050120250021|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:050110060261;A1:050120250022;|Type=yiqtol 3 ֶ֑נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=must.eat.it|Ref=DEU_12:25!2|MId=o050120250022|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 4 לְמַ֨עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=so.that|Ref=DEU_12:25!3|MId=o050120250031|Strong=4616 5 יִיטַ֤ב יָטַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=it.may.go.well|Ref=DEU_12:25!4|MId=o050120250041|Strong=3190|Frame=A0:;|Type=yiqtol 6-7 לְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 ל לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_12:25!5|MId=o050120250051|Strong=3807a 7 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_12:25!5|MId=o050120250052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8-11 וּלְבָנֶ֣יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_12:25!6|MId=o050120250061|Strong=2050b 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_12:25!6|MId=o050120250062|Strong=3807a 10 בָנֶ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 conj _ Gloss=children|Ref=DEU_12:25!6|MId=o050120250063|Strong=1121 11 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_12:25!6|MId=o050120250064|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12-13 אַחֲרֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אַחֲרֶ֔י אַחַר ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=DEU_12:25!7|MId=o050120250071|Strong=0310 13 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_12:25!7|MId=o050120250072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_12:25!8|MId=o050120250081|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 15 תַעֲשֶׂ֥ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 advcl _ Gloss=you.will.do|Ref=DEU_12:25!9|MId=o050120250091|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050110060261;A1:050120250102;|Type=yiqtol 16-17 הַיָּשָׁ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_12:25!10|MId=o050120250101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 יָּשָׁ֖ר יָשָׁר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=right|Ref=DEU_12:25!10|MId=o050120250102|Strong=3477|Type=adjective 18-19 בְּעֵינֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_12:25!11|MId=o050120250111|Strong=0871a 19 עֵינֵ֥י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 17 nmod _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=DEU_12:25!11|MId=o050120250112|Strong=5869 20 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=DEU_12:25!12|MId=o050120250121|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=DEU_12:25!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תֹּאכְל *you* | yiqtol · qal | | ֶנּוּ *must eat it* | | | | יִיטַב *it may go well* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | תַעֲשֶׂה *you will do* | yiqtol · qal | | יָּשָׁר *right* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
