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 — LORD, Levites — and what happens in the verse to name, LORD, 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. וְשֵׁרֵ֕ת בְּשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑יו כְּכָל־אֶחָיו֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם הָעֹמְדִ֥ים שָׁ֖ם לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ [then he shall minister in the name of the LORD his God, as all his brethren the Levites do, who stand there before the LORD.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.505/) ## 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:498 # text = וְשֵׁרֵ֕ת בְּשֵׁ֖ם יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑יו כְּכָל־אֶחָיו֙ הַלְוִיִּ֔ם הָעֹמְדִ֥ים שָׁ֖ם לִפְנֵ֥י יְהוָֽה׃ # verse = DEU.18.7 1-2 וְשֵׁרֵ֕ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_18:7!1|MId=o050180070011|Strong=2050b 2 שֵׁרֵ֕ת שָׁרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.serve|Ref=DEU_18:7!1|MId=o050180070012|Strong=8334|Frame=A0:050180060032;|Type=weqatal 3-4 בְּשֵׁ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_18:7!2|MId=o050180070021|Strong=0871a 4 שֵׁ֖ם שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=DEU_18:7!2|MId=o050180070022|Strong=8034 5 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=DEU_18:7!3|MId=o050180070031|Strong=3068 6-7 אֱלֹהָ֑יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֱלֹהָ֑י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_18:7!4|MId=o050180070041|Strong=0430 7 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_18:7!4|MId=o050180070042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8-9 כְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=like|Ref=DEU_18:7!5|MId=o050180070051|Strong=3509a 9 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_18:7!5|MId=o050180070052|Strong=3605 10-11 אֶחָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אֶחָי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=relatives|Ref=DEU_18:7!6|MId=o050180070061|Strong=0251 11 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_18:7!6|MId=o050180070062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12-13 הַלְוִיִּ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_18:7!7|MId=o050180070071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 לְוִיִּ֔ם לֵוִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 appos _ Gloss=Levites|Ref=DEU_18:7!7|MId=o050180070072|Strong=3881|Type=gentilic 14-15 הָעֹמְדִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=[who]|Ref=DEU_18:7!8|MId=o050180070081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 עֹמְדִ֥ים עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=stand|Ref=DEU_18:7!8|MId=o050180070082|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:050180070072;|Type=participle_active 16 שָׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=DEU_18:7!9|MId=o050180070091|Strong=8033 17-18 לִפְנֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=DEU_18:7!10|MId=o050180070101|Strong=3807a 18 פְנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_18:7!10|MId=o050180070102|Strong=6440 19 יְהוָֽה יהוה PROPN _ _ 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_18:7!11|MId=o050180070111|Strong=3068|SpaceAfter=No 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=DEU_18:7!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שֵׁרֵת *he will serve* | weqatal · piel | | | | | | עֹמְדִים *stand* | participle active · qal | לְוִיִּם *Levites* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
