Deuteronomy 17:3 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.17.3/) [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 17](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/17/) / 17:3 # Deuteronomy 17:3 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** I · **What happens:** go, serve, worship, not command · **To what, where:** other gods, man · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Deuteronomy 17:3 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 — I — and what happens in the verse to other gods, man, 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. וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ וַֽיַּעֲבֹד֙ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים וַיִּשְׁתַּ֖חוּ לָהֶ֑ם וְלַשֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ ׀ א֣וֹ לַיָּרֵ֗חַ א֛וֹ לְכָל־צְבָ֥א הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־צִוִּֽיתִי׃ [and hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have commanded not;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.480/) ## 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:474 # text = וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ וַֽיַּעֲבֹד֙ אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֲחֵרִ֔ים וַיִּשְׁתַּ֖חוּ לָהֶ֑ם וְלַשֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ ׀ א֣וֹ לַיָּרֵ֗חַ א֛וֹ לְכָל־צְבָ֥א הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־צִוִּֽיתִי׃ # verse = DEU.17.3 1-2 וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_17:3!1|MId=o050170030011|Strong=2050b 2 יֵּ֗לֶךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.has.gone|Ref=DEU_17:3!1|MId=o050170030012|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:050170020111;050170020131;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 וַֽיַּעֲבֹד֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_17:3!2|MId=o050170030021|Strong=2050b 4 יַּעֲבֹד֙ עָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.has.served|Ref=DEU_17:3!2|MId=o050170030022|Strong=5647|Frame=A0:050170020111;050170020131;A1:050170030031;|Type=wayyiqtol 5 אֱלֹהִ֣ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 obj _ Gloss=gods|Ref=DEU_17:3!3|MId=o050170030031|Strong=0430 6 אֲחֵרִ֔ים אַחֵר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 amod _ Gloss=other|Ref=DEU_17:3!4|MId=o050170030041|Strong=0312|Type=adjective 7-8 וַיִּשְׁתַּ֖חוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_17:3!5|MId=o050170030051|Strong=2050b 8 יִּשְׁתַּ֖חוּ חוה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.has.bowed.down|Ref=DEU_17:3!5|MId=o050170030052|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:050170020111;050170020131;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-10 לָהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 ל לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_17:3!6|MId=o050170030061|Strong=3807a 10 ָהֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=DEU_17:3!6|MId=o050170030062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11-14 וְלַשֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_17:3!7|MId=o050170030071|Strong=2050b 12 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_17:3!7|MId=o050170030072|Strong=3807a 13 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_17:3!7|MId=o050170030072ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 שֶּׁ֣מֶשׁ שֶׁמֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=sun|Ref=DEU_17:3!7|MId=o050170030073|Strong=8121 15 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 14 punct _ Ref=DEU_17:3!7 16 א֣וֹ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=DEU_17:3!8|MId=o050170030081|Strong=0176 17-19 לַיָּרֵ֗חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_17:3!9|MId=o050170030091|Strong=3807a 18 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_17:3!9|MId=o050170030091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 יָּרֵ֗חַ יָרֵחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=moon|Ref=DEU_17:3!9|MId=o050170030092|Strong=3394 20 א֛וֹ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=DEU_17:3!10|MId=o050170030101|Strong=0176 21-22 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_17:3!11|MId=o050170030111|Strong=3807a 22 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_17:3!11|MId=o050170030112|Strong=3605 23 צְבָ֥א צָבָא NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.host|Ref=DEU_17:3!12|MId=o050170030121|Strong=6635 24-25 הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_17:3!13|MId=o050170030131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 שָּׁמַ֖יִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.heavens|Ref=DEU_17:3!13|MId=o050170030132|Strong=8064 26 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 28 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_17:3!14|MId=o050170030141|Strong=0834|Type=relative 27 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 28 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_17:3!15|MId=o050170030151|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 28 צִוִּֽיתִי צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 parataxis _ Gloss=I.have.commanded|Ref=DEU_17:3!16|MId=o050170030161|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:050170020191;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=DEU_17:3!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֵּלֶךְ *he has gone* | wayyiqtol · qal | | | | | | יַּעֲבֹד *he has served* | wayyiqtol · qal | | אֱלֹהִים *gods* | | | | יִּשְׁתַּחוּ *he has bowed down* | wayyiqtol · hithpael | | | | | | **not** צִוִּֽיתִי *I have commanded* | qatal · piel | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
