Deuteronomy 15:20 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.15.20/) [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 15](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/15/) / 15:20 # Deuteronomy 15:20 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** Thou, LORD · **What happens:** eat, choose · **To what, where:** firstling, place This is Deuteronomy 15:20 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, LORD — and what happens in the verse to firstling, place, 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. לִפְנֵי֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֶ֤יךָ תֹאכֲלֶ֙נּוּ֙ שָׁנָ֣ה בְשָׁנָ֔ה בַּמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה אַתָּ֖ה וּבֵיתֶֽךָ׃ [Thou shalt eat it before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.452/) ## 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:446 # text = לִפְנֵי֩ יְהוָ֨ה אֱלֹהֶ֤יךָ תֹאכֲלֶ֙נּוּ֙ שָׁנָ֣ה בְשָׁנָ֔ה בַּמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה אַתָּ֖ה וּבֵיתֶֽךָ׃ # verse = DEU.15.20 1-2 לִפְנֵי֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=DEU_15:20!1|MId=o050150200011|Strong=3807a 2 פְנֵי֩ פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_15:20!1|MId=o050150200012|Strong=6440 3 יְהוָ֨ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_15:20!2|MId=o050150200021|Strong=3068 4-5 אֱלֹהֶ֤יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֱלֹהֶ֤י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_15:20!3|MId=o050150200031|Strong=0430 5 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_15:20!3|MId=o050150200032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 6-7 תֹאכֲלֶ֙נּוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 תֹאכֲל אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_15:20!4|MId=o050150200041|Strong=0398|Frame=A1:050150200042;A0:050150200111;050150200122;|Type=yiqtol 7 ֶ֙נּוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obj _ Gloss=will.eat.it|Ref=DEU_15:20!4|MId=o050150200042|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 8 שָׁנָ֣ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=a.year|Ref=DEU_15:20!5|MId=o050150200051|Strong=8141 9-10 בְשָׁנָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_15:20!6|MId=o050150200061|Strong=0871a 10 שָׁנָ֔ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 nmod _ Gloss=a.year|Ref=DEU_15:20!6|MId=o050150200062|Strong=8141 11-13 בַּמָּק֖וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_15:20!7|MId=o050150200071|Strong=0871a 12 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_15:20!7|MId=o050150200071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 מָּק֖וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=DEU_15:20!7|MId=o050150200072|Strong=4725 14 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_15:20!8|MId=o050150200081|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 15 יִבְחַ֣ר בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.choose|Ref=DEU_15:20!9|MId=o050150200091|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:050150200101;A1:050150200073;|Type=yiqtol 16 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 15 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_15:20!10|MId=o050150200101|Strong=3068 17 אַתָּ֖ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_15:20!11|MId=o050150200111|Strong=0859|Type=personal 18-20 וּבֵיתֶֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_15:20!12|MId=o050150200121|Strong=2050b 19 בֵית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=household|Ref=DEU_15:20!12|MId=o050150200122|Strong=1004 20 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_15:20!12|MId=o050150200123|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=DEU_15:20!12 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֹאכֲל *you* | yiqtol · qal | אַתָּה *you* + בֵית *household* | ֶנּוּ *will eat it* | | | | יִבְחַר *he will choose* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
