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 — needy, LORD — and what happens in the verse to thee, land, release, 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. אֶ֕פֶס כִּ֛י לֹ֥א יִֽהְיֶה־בְּךָ֖ אֶבְי֑וֹן כִּֽי־בָרֵ֤ךְ יְבָֽרֶכְךָ֙ יְהוָ֔ה בָּאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ נֹֽתֵן־לְךָ֥ נַחֲלָ֖ה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃ [Howbeit there shall be no needy among you — for the LORD will surely bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance to possess it —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.435/) ## 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:430 # text = אֶ֕פֶס כִּ֛י לֹ֥א יִֽהְיֶה־בְּךָ֖ אֶבְי֑וֹן כִּֽי־בָרֵ֤ךְ יְבָֽרֶכְךָ֙ יְהוָ֔ה בָּאָ֕רֶץ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ נֹֽתֵן־לְךָ֥ נַחֲלָ֖ה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃ # verse = DEU.15.4 1 אֶ֕פֶס אֶפֶס NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=nevertheless|Ref=DEU_15:4!1|MId=o050150040011|Strong=0657 2 כִּ֛י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 1 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_15:4!2|MId=o050150040021|Strong=3588 3 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_15:4!3|MId=o050150040031|Strong=3808|Type=negative 4 יִֽהְיֶה־ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 cop _ Gloss=he.will.be|Ref=DEU_15:4!4|MId=o050150040041|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050150040061;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 בְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=DEU_15:4!5|MId=o050150040051|Strong=0871a 6 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 1 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_15:4!5|MId=o050150040052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7 אֶבְי֑וֹן אֶבְיוֹן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=a.needy.[person]|Ref=DEU_15:4!6|MId=o050150040061|Strong=0034|Type=adjective 8 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_15:4!7|MId=o050150040071|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 9 בָרֵ֤ךְ בָּרַךְ VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 10 obl:npmod _ Gloss=surely.(bless)|Ref=DEU_15:4!8|MId=o050150040081|Strong=1288|Type=infinitive_absolute 10-11 יְבָֽרֶכְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 יְבָֽרֶכ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 1 advcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_15:4!9|MId=o050150040091|Strong=1288|Frame=A1:050150040092;A0:050150040101;|Type=yiqtol 11 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=will.bless.you|Ref=DEU_15:4!9|MId=o050150040092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_15:4!10|MId=o050150040101|Strong=3068 13-15 בָּאָ֕רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בָּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_15:4!11|MId=o050150040111|Strong=0871a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_15:4!11|MId=o050150040111ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 אָ֕רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=DEU_15:4!11|MId=o050150040112|Strong=0776 16 אֲשֶׁר֙ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_15:4!12|MId=o050150040121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 20 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_15:4!13|MId=o050150040131|Strong=3068 18-19 אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֱלֹהֶ֔י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_15:4!14|MId=o050150040141|Strong=0430 19 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_15:4!14|MId=o050150040142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20 נֹֽתֵן־ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 15 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[is].about.to.give|Ref=DEU_15:4!15|MId=o050150040151|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:050150040131;A1:050150040113;|Type=participle_active|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 לְךָ֥ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 ל לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_15:4!16|MId=o050150040161|Strong=3807a 22 ְךָ֥ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_15:4!16|MId=o050150040162|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23 נַחֲלָ֖ה נַחֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 xcomp _ Gloss=an.inheritance|Ref=DEU_15:4!17|MId=o050150040171|Strong=5159 24-26 לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_15:4!18|MId=o050150040181|Strong=3807a 25 רִשְׁתּ יָרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 20 xcomp _ Gloss=take|Ref=DEU_15:4!18|MId=o050150040182|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:050130120021;A1:050150040183;|Type=infinitive_construct 26 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 obj _ Gloss=possession.of.it|Ref=DEU_15:4!18|MId=o050150040183|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=DEU_15:4!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִֽהְיֶה־ *he will be* | yiqtol · qal | אֶבְיוֹן *a needy \[person\]* | | | | | יְבָֽרֶכ *he* | yiqtol · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ְךָ *will bless you* | | | | נֹֽתֵן־ *\[is\] about to give* | participle active · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | רִשְׁתּ *take* | infinitive construct · qal | | ָֽהּ *possession of it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
