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, hands — and what happens in the verse to feast, place, thee, increase, 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. שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֗ים תָּחֹג֙ לַיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ בַּמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֣י יְבָרֶכְךָ֞ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ בְּכֹ֤ל תְּבוּאָֽתְךָ֙ וּבְכֹל֙ מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָדֶ֔יךָ וְהָיִ֖יתָ אַ֥ךְ שָׂמֵֽחַ׃ [Seven days shalt thou keep a feast unto the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose; because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt be altogether joyful.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.470/) ## 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:464 # text = שִׁבְעַ֣ת יָמִ֗ים תָּחֹג֙ לַיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ בַּמָּק֖וֹם אֲשֶׁר־יִבְחַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֣י יְבָרֶכְךָ֞ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ בְּכֹ֤ל תְּבוּאָֽתְךָ֙ וּבְכֹל֙ מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה יָדֶ֔יךָ וְהָיִ֖יתָ אַ֥ךְ שָׂמֵֽחַ׃ # verse = DEU.16.15 1 שִׁבְעַ֣ת שֶׁבַע NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nummod _ Gloss=seven|Ref=DEU_16:15!1|MId=o050160150011|Strong=7651|Type=cardinal_number 2 יָמִ֗ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=DEU_16:15!2|MId=o050160150021|Strong=3117 3 תָּחֹג֙ חָגַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.celebrate.a.festival|Ref=DEU_16:15!3|MId=o050160150031|Strong=2287|Frame=A0:050130120021;|Type=yiqtol 4-5 לַיהוָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_16:15!4|MId=o050160150041|Strong=3807a 5 יהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_16:15!4|MId=o050160150042|Strong=3068 6-7 אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֱלֹהֶ֔י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_16:15!5|MId=o050160150051|Strong=0430 7 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_16:15!5|MId=o050160150052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8-10 בַּמָּק֖וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_16:15!6|MId=o050160150061|Strong=0871a 9 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_16:15!6|MId=o050160150061ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 מָּק֖וֹם מָקוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=place|Ref=DEU_16:15!6|MId=o050160150062|Strong=4725 11 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_16:15!7|MId=o050160150071|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 12 יִבְחַ֣ר בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.choose|Ref=DEU_16:15!8|MId=o050160150081|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:050160150091;A1:050160150063;|Type=yiqtol 13 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 12 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_16:15!9|MId=o050160150091|Strong=3068 14 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_16:15!10|MId=o050160150101|Strong=3588 15-16 יְבָרֶכְךָ֞ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 יְבָרֶכ בָּרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 advcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_16:15!11|MId=o050160150111|Strong=1288|Frame=A1:050160150112;A0:050160150121;|Type=yiqtol 16 ְךָ֞ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=will.bless.you|Ref=DEU_16:15!11|MId=o050160150112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 15 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_16:15!12|MId=o050160150121|Strong=3068 18-19 אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֱלֹהֶ֗י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_16:15!13|MId=o050160150131|Strong=0430 19 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_16:15!13|MId=o050160150132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20-21 בְּכֹ֤ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_16:15!14|MId=o050160150141|Strong=0871a 21 כֹ֤ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_16:15!14|MId=o050160150142|Strong=3605 22-23 תְּבוּאָֽתְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 תְּבוּאָֽת תְּבוּאָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=produce|Ref=DEU_16:15!15|MId=o050160150151|Strong=8393 23 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_16:15!15|MId=o050160150152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 24-26 וּבְכֹל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_16:15!16|MId=o050160150161|Strong=2050b 25 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_16:15!16|MId=o050160150162|Strong=0871a 26 כֹל֙ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 conj _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_16:15!16|MId=o050160150163|Strong=3605 27 מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.work|Ref=DEU_16:15!17|MId=o050160150171|Strong=4639 28-29 יָדֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 יָדֶ֔י יָד NOUN _ Number=Dual 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.hands|Ref=DEU_16:15!18|MId=o050160150181|Strong=3027 29 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_16:15!18|MId=o050160150182|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 30-31 וְהָיִ֖יתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_16:15!19|MId=o050160150191|Strong=2050b 31 הָיִ֖יתָ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 32 cop _ Gloss=you.will.be|Ref=DEU_16:15!19|MId=o050160150192|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050130120021;|Type=weqatal 32 אַ֥ךְ אַךְ ADV _ _ 3 conj _ Gloss=surely|Ref=DEU_16:15!20|MId=o050160150201|Strong=0389|Type=affirmation 33 שָׂמֵֽחַ שָׂמֵחַ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 amod _ Gloss=joyful|Ref=DEU_16:15!21|MId=o050160150211|Strong=8056|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=DEU_16:15!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
