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 — blemish, thou — and what happens in the verse to blindness, 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. וְכִֽי־יִהְיֶ֨ה ב֜וֹ מ֗וּם פִּסֵּ֙חַ֙ א֣וֹ עִוֵּ֔ר כֹּ֖ל מ֣וּם רָ֑ע לֹ֣א תִזְבָּחֶ֔נּוּ לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ [And if there be any blemish therein, lameness, or blindness, any ill blemish whatsoever, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.453/) ## 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:447 # text = וְכִֽי־יִהְיֶ֨ה ב֜וֹ מ֗וּם פִּסֵּ֙חַ֙ א֣וֹ עִוֵּ֔ר כֹּ֖ל מ֣וּם רָ֑ע לֹ֣א תִזְבָּחֶ֔נּוּ לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ׃ # verse = DEU.15.21 1-2 וְכִֽי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_15:21!1|MId=o050150210011|Strong=2050b 2 כִֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_15:21!1|MId=o050150210012|Strong=3588 3 יִהְיֶ֨ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=DEU_15:21!2|MId=o050150210021|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050150210041;|Type=yiqtol 4-5 ב֜וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_15:21!3|MId=o050150210031|Strong=0871a 5 ֜וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 0 root _ Gloss=it|Ref=DEU_15:21!3|MId=o050150210032|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6 מ֗וּם מאוּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 nsubj _ Gloss=a.blemish|Ref=DEU_15:21!4|MId=o050150210041|Strong=3971a 7 פִּסֵּ֙חַ֙ פִּסֵּחַ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 amod _ Gloss=lame|Ref=DEU_15:21!5|MId=o050150210051|Strong=6455|Type=adjective 8 א֣וֹ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=DEU_15:21!6|MId=o050150210061|Strong=0176 9 עִוֵּ֔ר עִוֵּר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 amod _ Gloss=blind|Ref=DEU_15:21!7|MId=o050150210071|Strong=5787|Type=adjective 10 כֹּ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 appos _ Gloss=any|Ref=DEU_15:21!8|MId=o050150210081|Strong=3605 11 מ֣וּם מאוּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=blemish|Ref=DEU_15:21!9|MId=o050150210091|Strong=3971a 12 רָ֑ע רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 amod _ Gloss=bad|Ref=DEU_15:21!10|MId=o050150210101|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 13 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_15:21!11|MId=o050150210111|Strong=3808|Type=negative 14-15 תִזְבָּחֶ֔נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 תִזְבָּח זָבַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_15:21!12|MId=o050150210121|Strong=2076|Frame=A0:050130120021;A1:050150210122;|Type=yiqtol 15 ֶ֔נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obj _ Gloss=will.sacrifice.it|Ref=DEU_15:21!12|MId=o050150210122|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 16-17 לַיהוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_15:21!13|MId=o050150210131|Strong=3807a 17 יהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 14 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_15:21!13|MId=o050150210132|Strong=3068 18-19 אֱלֹהֶֽיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֱלֹהֶֽי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_15:21!14|MId=o050150210141|Strong=0430 19 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_15:21!14|MId=o050150210142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=DEU_15:21!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִהְיֶה *it will be* | yiqtol · qal | מוּם *a blemish* | | | | | **not** תִזְבָּח *you* | yiqtol · qal | | ֶנּוּ *will sacrifice it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
