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, God, nations — and what happens in the verse to LORD, sons, fire, 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. לֹא־תַעֲשֶׂ֣ה כֵ֔ן לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ כִּי֩ כָּל־תּוֹעֲבַ֨ת יְהוָ֜ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׂנֵ֗א עָשׂוּ֙ לֵאלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם כִּ֣י גַ֤ם אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם֙ וְאֶת־בְּנֹ֣תֵיהֶ֔ם יִשְׂרְפ֥וּ בָאֵ֖שׁ לֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃ [Thou shalt not do so unto the LORD thy God; for every abomination to the LORD, which He hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn in the fire to their gods.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.381/) ## 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:378 # text = לֹא־תַעֲשֶׂ֣ה כֵ֔ן לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ כִּי֩ כָּל־תּוֹעֲבַ֨ת יְהוָ֜ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר שָׂנֵ֗א עָשׂוּ֙ לֵאלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם כִּ֣י גַ֤ם אֶת־בְּנֵיהֶם֙ וְאֶת־בְּנֹ֣תֵיהֶ֔ם יִשְׂרְפ֥וּ בָאֵ֖שׁ לֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶֽם׃ # verse = DEU.12.31 1 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_12:31!1|MId=o050120310011|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 2 תַעֲשֶׂ֣ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.do|Ref=DEU_12:31!2|MId=o050120310021|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050110060261;|Type=yiqtol 3 כֵ֔ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=DEU_12:31!3|MId=o050120310031|Strong=3651 4-5 לַיהוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_12:31!4|MId=o050120310041|Strong=3807a 5 יהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_12:31!4|MId=o050120310042|Strong=3068 6-7 אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֱלֹהֶ֑י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_12:31!5|MId=o050120310051|Strong=0430 7 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_12:31!5|MId=o050120310052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 כִּי֩ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_12:31!6|MId=o050120310061|Strong=3588 9 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=every|Ref=DEU_12:31!7|MId=o050120310071|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 10 תּוֹעֲבַ֨ת תּוֹעֵבַה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(the).abomination|Ref=DEU_12:31!8|MId=o050120310081|Strong=8441 11 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=DEU_12:31!9|MId=o050120310091|Strong=3068 12 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_12:31!10|MId=o050120310101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 13 שָׂנֵ֗א שָׂנֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.hates|Ref=DEU_12:31!11|MId=o050120310111|Strong=8130|Frame=A0:050120310091;A1:050120310081;|Type=qatal 14 עָשׂוּ֙ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=they.have.done|Ref=DEU_12:31!12|MId=o050120310121|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050120300152;A1:050120310081;|Type=qatal 15-17 לֵאלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לֵ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_12:31!13|MId=o050120310131|Strong=3807a 16 אלֹ֣הֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=gods|Ref=DEU_12:31!13|MId=o050120310132|Strong=0430 17 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=DEU_12:31!13|MId=o050120310133|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_12:31!14|MId=o050120310141|Strong=3588 19 גַ֤ם גַּם ADV _ _ 21 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=DEU_12:31!15|MId=o050120310151|Strong=1571 20 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_12:31!16|MId=o050120310161|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 בְּנֵיהֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בְּנֵי בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 27 obj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=DEU_12:31!17|MId=o050120310171|Strong=1121 22 הֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=DEU_12:31!17|MId=o050120310172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23-24 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_12:31!18|MId=o050120310181|Strong=2050b 24 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_12:31!18|MId=o050120310182|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 25-26 בְּנֹ֣תֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 בְּנֹ֣תֵי בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 21 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=DEU_12:31!19|MId=o050120310191|Strong=1323 26 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=DEU_12:31!19|MId=o050120310192|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 יִשְׂרְפ֥וּ שָׂרַף VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=they.burn|Ref=DEU_12:31!20|MId=o050120310201|Strong=8313|Frame=A0:050120300152;A1:050120310171;050120310191;|Type=yiqtol 28-30 בָאֵ֖שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 בָ בְּ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=DEU_12:31!21|MId=o050120310211|Strong=0871a 29 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_12:31!21|MId=o050120310211ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 אֵ֖שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=fire|Ref=DEU_12:31!21|MId=o050120310212|Strong=0784 31-33 לֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 לֵֽ לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_12:31!22|MId=o050120310221|Strong=3807a 32 אלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 27 obl _ Gloss=gods|Ref=DEU_12:31!22|MId=o050120310222|Strong=0430 33 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 32 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=DEU_12:31!22|MId=o050120310223|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=DEU_12:31!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
