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 messengers, wilderness, peace, 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. וָאֶשְׁלַ֤ח מַלְאָכִים֙ מִמִּדְבַּ֣ר קְדֵמ֔וֹת אֶל־סִיח֖וֹן מֶ֣לֶךְ חֶשְׁבּ֑וֹן דִּבְרֵ֥י שָׁל֖וֹם לֵאמֹֽר׃ [And I sent messengers out of the wilderness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon with words of peace, saying:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.72/) ## 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:71 # text = וָאֶשְׁלַ֤ח מַלְאָכִים֙ מִמִּדְבַּ֣ר קְדֵמ֔וֹת אֶל־סִיח֖וֹן מֶ֣לֶךְ חֶשְׁבּ֑וֹן דִּבְרֵ֥י שָׁל֖וֹם לֵאמֹֽר׃ # verse = DEU.2.26 1-2 וָאֶשְׁלַ֤ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_2:26!1|MId=o050020260011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶשְׁלַ֤ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.sent|Ref=DEU_2:26!1|MId=o050020260012|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:050010050061;A1:050020260021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מַלְאָכִים֙ מַלְאָךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=messengers|Ref=DEU_2:26!2|MId=o050020260021|Strong=4397 4-5 מִמִּדְבַּ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_2:26!3|MId=o050020260031|Strong=4480 5 מִּדְבַּ֣ר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.wilderness|Ref=DEU_2:26!3|MId=o050020260032|Strong=4057 6 קְדֵמ֔וֹת קְדֵמוֹת PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Kedemoth|Ref=DEU_2:26!4|MId=o050020260041|Strong=6932 7 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_2:26!5|MId=o050020260051|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 8 סִיח֖וֹן סִיחוֹן PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Sihon|Ref=DEU_2:26!6|MId=o050020260061|Strong=5511 9 מֶ֣לֶךְ מֶלֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 appos _ Gloss=the.king|Ref=DEU_2:26!7|MId=o050020260071|Strong=4428 10 חֶשְׁבּ֑וֹן חֶשְׁבּוֹן PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Heshbon|Ref=DEU_2:26!8|MId=o050020260081|Strong=2809 11 דִּבְרֵ֥י דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=words|Ref=DEU_2:26!9|MId=o050020260091|Strong=1697 12 שָׁל֖וֹם שָׁלוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.peace|Ref=DEU_2:26!10|MId=o050020260101|Strong=7965 13-14 לֵאמֹֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 2 ccomp _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=DEU_2:26!11|MId=o050020260111|Strong=3807a 14 אמֹֽר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 13 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_2:26!11|MId=o050020260112|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:050010050061;|Type=infinitive_construct 15 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 13 punct _ Ref=DEU_2:26!11 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: a frame; the quote follows - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֶשְׁלַח *I sent* | wayyiqtol · qal | | מַלְאָכִים *messengers* | | | | אמֹֽר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
