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 — and what happens in the verse to three cities, midst, thee, land, 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. שָׁל֥וֹשׁ עָרִ֖ים תַּבְדִּ֣יל לָ֑ךְ בְּת֣וֹךְ אַרְצְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לְךָ֖ לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃ [thou shalt separate three cities for thee in the midst of thy land, which the LORD thy GOD giveth thee to possess it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.522/) ## 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:515 # text = שָׁל֥וֹשׁ עָרִ֖ים תַּבְדִּ֣יל לָ֑ךְ בְּת֣וֹךְ אַרְצְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לְךָ֖ לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃ # verse = DEU.19.2 1 שָׁל֥וֹשׁ שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 nummod _ Gloss=three|Ref=DEU_19:2!1|MId=o050190020011|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 2 עָרִ֖ים עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 3 obj _ Gloss=cities|Ref=DEU_19:2!2|MId=o050190020021|Strong=5892 3 תַּבְדִּ֣יל בָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.set.apart|Ref=DEU_19:2!3|MId=o050190020031|Strong=0914|Frame=AA:050180060071;A0:050190020021;|Type=yiqtol 4-5 לָ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 ל לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_19:2!4|MId=o050190020041|Strong=3807a 5 ָ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=DEU_19:2!4|MId=o050190020042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 6-7 בְּת֣וֹךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_19:2!5|MId=o050190020051|Strong=0871a 7 ת֣וֹךְ תָּוֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=DEU_19:2!5|MId=o050190020052|Strong=8432 8-9 אַרְצְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אַרְצ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.land|Ref=DEU_19:2!6|MId=o050190020061|Strong=0776 9 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_19:2!6|MId=o050190020062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10 אֲשֶׁר֙ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_19:2!7|MId=o050190020071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 11 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 14 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_19:2!8|MId=o050190020081|Strong=3068 12-13 אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֱלֹהֶ֔י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_19:2!9|MId=o050190020091|Strong=0430 13 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_19:2!9|MId=o050190020092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14 נֹתֵ֥ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 8 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[is].about.to.give|Ref=DEU_19:2!10|MId=o050190020101|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:050190020081;A1:050190020061;|Type=participle_active 15-16 לְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 ל לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_19:2!11|MId=o050190020111|Strong=3807a 16 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_19:2!11|MId=o050190020112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17-19 לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_19:2!12|MId=o050190020121|Strong=3807a 18 רִשְׁתּ יָרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 14 xcomp _ Gloss=take|Ref=DEU_19:2!12|MId=o050190020122|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:050180060071;A1:050190020123;|Type=infinitive_construct 19 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=possession.of.it|Ref=DEU_19:2!12|MId=o050190020123|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=DEU_19:2!12 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תַּבְדִּיל *you will set apart* | yiqtol · hiphil | עָרִים *cities* | | | | | נֹתֵן *\[is\] about to give* | participle active · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | אַרְצ *your land* | | | | רִשְׁתּ *take* | infinitive construct · qal | | ָֽהּ *possession of it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
