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, ye, thou, God — and what happens in the verse to place, tribes, name, 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. כִּ֠י אִֽם־אֶל־הַמָּק֞וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַ֨ר יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֙ מִכָּל־שִׁבְטֵיכֶ֔ם לָשׂ֥וּם אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ שָׁ֑ם לְשִׁכְנ֥וֹ תִדְרְשׁ֖וּ וּבָ֥אתָ שָֽׁמָּה׃ [But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put His name there, even unto His habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.355/) ## 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:352 # text = כִּ֠י אִֽם־אֶל־הַמָּק֞וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַ֨ר יְהוָ֤ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֙ מִכָּל־שִׁבְטֵיכֶ֔ם לָשׂ֥וּם אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ שָׁ֑ם לְשִׁכְנ֥וֹ תִדְרְשׁ֖וּ וּבָ֥אתָ שָֽׁמָּה׃ # verse = DEU.12.5 1 כִּ֠י כִּי SCONJ _ ExtPos=SCONJ 24 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_12:5!1|MId=o050120050011|Strong=3588 2 אִֽם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 1 fixed _ Gloss=(if)|Ref=DEU_12:5!2|MId=o050120050021|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 3 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_12:5!3|MId=o050120050031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַמָּק֞וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_12:5!4|MId=o050120050041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 מָּק֞וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=DEU_12:5!4|MId=o050120050042|Strong=4725 6 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 7 mark _ Gloss=where|Ref=DEU_12:5!5|MId=o050120050051|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 7 יִבְחַ֨ר בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.choose|Ref=DEU_12:5!6|MId=o050120050061|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:050120050071;A1:050120050042;|Type=yiqtol 8 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_12:5!7|MId=o050120050071|Strong=3068 9-10 אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֱלֹֽהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_12:5!8|MId=o050120050081|Strong=0430 10 כֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_12:5!8|MId=o050120050082|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 11-12 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_12:5!9|MId=o050120050091|Strong=4480 12 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_12:5!9|MId=o050120050092|Strong=3605 13-14 שִׁבְטֵיכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 שִׁבְטֵי שֵׁבֶט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=tribes|Ref=DEU_12:5!10|MId=o050120050101|Strong=7626 14 כֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_12:5!10|MId=o050120050102|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 15-16 לָשׂ֥וּם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_12:5!11|MId=o050120050111|Strong=3807a 16 שׂ֥וּם שׂים VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 7 xcomp _ Gloss=put|Ref=DEU_12:5!11|MId=o050120050112|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:050120050071;A1:050120050131;|Type=infinitive_construct 17 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_12:5!12|MId=o050120050121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 18-19 שְׁמ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=DEU_12:5!13|MId=o050120050131|Strong=8034 19 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_12:5!13|MId=o050120050132|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20 שָׁ֑ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=DEU_12:5!14|MId=o050120050141|Strong=8033 21-23 לְשִׁכְנ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_12:5!15|MId=o050120050151|Strong=3807a 22 שִׁכְנ שֵׁכֶן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 7 xcomp _ Gloss=dwelling|Ref=DEU_12:5!15|MId=o050120050152|Strong=7931|Frame=A0:050120050153;|Type=infinitive_construct 23 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nsubj _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_12:5!15|MId=o050120050153|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 תִדְרְשׁ֖וּ דָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.resort|Ref=DEU_12:5!16|MId=o050120050161|Strong=1875|Frame=A0:050110060261;|Type=yiqtol 25-26 וּבָ֥אתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_12:5!17|MId=o050120050171|Strong=2050b 26 בָ֥אתָ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 24 conj _ Gloss=you.will.go|Ref=DEU_12:5!17|MId=o050120050172|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:050110060261;|Type=weqatal 27-28 שָֽׁמָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 שָֽׁמּ שָׁם ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_12:5!18|MId=o050120050181|Strong=8033 28 ָה ה X _ _ 27 nmod _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=DEU_12:5!18|MId=o050120050182|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=DEU_12:5!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִבְחַר *he will choose* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | מָּקוֹם *place* | | | | שׂוּם *put* | infinitive construct · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | שְׁמ *name* | | | | שִׁכְנ *dwelling* | infinitive construct · qal | וֹ *his* | | | | | תִדְרְשׁוּ *you will resort* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | בָאתָ *you will go* | weqatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
