Deuteronomy 19:17 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.19.17/) [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 19](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/19/) / 19:17 # Deuteronomy 19:17 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** controversy, men, priests · **What happens:** be, stand · **To what, where:** men This is Deuteronomy 19:17 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 — controversy, men, priests — and what happens in the verse to men, 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. וְעָמְד֧וּ שְׁנֵֽי־הָאֲנָשִׁ֛ים אֲשֶׁר־לָהֶ֥ם הָרִ֖יב לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה לִפְנֵ֤י הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ וְהַשֹּׁ֣פְטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִהְי֖וּ בַּיָּמִ֥ים הָהֵֽם׃ [then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges that shall be in those days.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.537/) ## 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:530 # text = וְעָמְד֧וּ שְׁנֵֽי־הָאֲנָשִׁ֛ים אֲשֶׁר־לָהֶ֥ם הָרִ֖יב לִפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה לִפְנֵ֤י הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ וְהַשֹּׁ֣פְטִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר יִהְי֖וּ בַּיָּמִ֥ים הָהֵֽם׃ # verse = DEU.19.17 1-2 וְעָמְד֧וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_19:17!1|MId=o050190170011|Strong=2050b 2 עָמְד֧וּ עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.stand|Ref=DEU_19:17!1|MId=o050190170012|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:050190170032;|Type=weqatal 3 שְׁנֵֽי־ שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 5 nummod _ Gloss=the.two|Ref=DEU_19:17!2|MId=o050190170021|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הָאֲנָשִׁ֛ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_19:17!3|MId=o050190170031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 אֲנָשִׁ֛ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=DEU_19:17!3|MId=o050190170032|Strong=0376 6 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=DEU_19:17!4|MId=o050190170041|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 לָהֶ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 ל לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=DEU_19:17!5|MId=o050190170051|Strong=3807a 8 ָהֶ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=them|Ref=DEU_19:17!5|MId=o050190170052|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 9-10 הָרִ֖יב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_19:17!6|MId=o050190170061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 רִ֖יב רִיב NOUN _ Number=Sing 8 nsubj _ Gloss=dispute|Ref=DEU_19:17!6|MId=o050190170062|Strong=7379 11-12 לִפְנֵ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=DEU_19:17!7|MId=o050190170071|Strong=3807a 12 פְנֵ֣י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_19:17!7|MId=o050190170072|Strong=6440 13 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_19:17!8|MId=o050190170081|Strong=3068 14-15 לִפְנֵ֤י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=DEU_19:17!9|MId=o050190170091|Strong=3807a 15 פְנֵ֤י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_19:17!9|MId=o050190170092|Strong=6440 16-17 הַכֹּֽהֲנִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_19:17!10|MId=o050190170101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 כֹּֽהֲנִים֙ כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=priests|Ref=DEU_19:17!10|MId=o050190170102|Strong=3548 18-20 וְהַשֹּׁ֣פְטִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_19:17!11|MId=o050190170111|Strong=2050b 19 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_19:17!11|MId=o050190170112|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 שֹּׁ֣פְטִ֔ים שָׁפַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 17 conj _ Gloss=judges|Ref=DEU_19:17!11|MId=o050190170113|Strong=8199|Type=participle_active 21 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=DEU_19:17!12|MId=o050190170121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 22 יִהְי֖וּ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 25 cop _ Gloss=they.will.be|Ref=DEU_19:17!13|MId=o050190170131|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050190170113;|Type=yiqtol 23-25 בַּיָּמִ֥ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_19:17!14|MId=o050190170141|Strong=0871a 24 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_19:17!14|MId=o050190170141ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 יָּמִ֥ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 acl:relcl _ Gloss=days|Ref=DEU_19:17!14|MId=o050190170142|Strong=3117 26-27 הָהֵֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_19:17!15|MId=o050190170151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 הֵֽם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 25 det _ Gloss=those|Ref=DEU_19:17!15|MId=o050190170152|Strong=1992|Type=personal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=DEU_19:17!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עָמְדוּ *they will stand* | weqatal · qal | אֲנָשִׁים *people* | | | | | יִהְיוּ *they will be* | yiqtol · qal | שֹּׁפְטִים *judges* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
