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 — people, ye — and what happens in the verse to you, abominations, 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. לְמַ֗עַן אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹֽא־יְלַמְּד֤וּ אֶתְכֶם֙ לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת כְּכֹל֙ תּֽוֹעֲבֹתָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשׂ֖וּ לֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם וַחֲטָאתֶ֖ם לַיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ס [that they teach you not to do after all their abominations, which they have done unto their gods, and so ye sin against the LORD your God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.559/) ## 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:552 # text = לְמַ֗עַן אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹֽא־יְלַמְּד֤וּ אֶתְכֶם֙ לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת כְּכֹל֙ תּֽוֹעֲבֹתָ֔ם אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָשׂ֖וּ לֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם וַחֲטָאתֶ֖ם לַיהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם׃ס # verse = DEU.20.18 1 לְמַ֗עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=so.that|Ref=DEU_20:18!1|MId=o050200180011|Strong=4616 2 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=DEU_20:18!2|MId=o050200180021|Strong=0834|Type=relative 3 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_20:18!3|MId=o050200180031|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 4 יְלַמְּד֤וּ לָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.may.teach|Ref=DEU_20:18!4|MId=o050200180041|Strong=3925|Frame=A0:050200170042;050200170053;050200170062;050200170073;050200170082;050200170093;A1:050200180052;|Type=yiqtol 5-6 אֶתְכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_20:18!5|MId=o050200180051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 6 ְכֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_20:18!5|MId=o050200180052|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 7-8 לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_20:18!6|MId=o050200180061|Strong=3807a 8 עֲשׂ֔וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 4 xcomp _ Gloss=do|Ref=DEU_20:18!6|MId=o050200180062|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050200090112;|Type=infinitive_construct 9-10 כְּכֹל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=according|Ref=DEU_20:18!7|MId=o050200180071|Strong=3509a 10 כֹל֙ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=to.all|Ref=DEU_20:18!7|MId=o050200180072|Strong=3605 11-12 תּֽוֹעֲבֹתָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 תּֽוֹעֲבֹת תּוֹעֵבַה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=abominations|Ref=DEU_20:18!8|MId=o050200180081|Strong=8441 12 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=DEU_20:18!8|MId=o050200180082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_20:18!9|MId=o050200180091|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14 עָשׂ֖וּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 10 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.have.done|Ref=DEU_20:18!10|MId=o050200180101|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050200170042;050200170053;050200170062;050200170073;050200170082;050200170093;A1:050200180081;|Type=qatal 15-17 לֵֽאלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לֵֽ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_20:18!11|MId=o050200180111|Strong=3807a 16 אלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=gods|Ref=DEU_20:18!11|MId=o050200180112|Strong=0430 17 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=DEU_20:18!11|MId=o050200180113|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 18-19 וַחֲטָאתֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_20:18!12|MId=o050200180121|Strong=2050b 19 חֲטָאתֶ֖ם חָטָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 4 conj _ Gloss=you.will.sin|Ref=DEU_20:18!12|MId=o050200180122|Strong=2398|Frame=A0:050200090112;|Type=weqatal 20-21 לַיהוָ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_20:18!13|MId=o050200180131|Strong=3807a 21 יהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 19 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_20:18!13|MId=o050200180132|Strong=3068 22-23 אֱלֹהֵיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אֱלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_20:18!14|MId=o050200180141|Strong=0430 23 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_20:18!14|MId=o050200180142|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DEU_20:18!14|SpaceAfter=No 25 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DEU_20:18!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יְלַמְּדוּ *they may teach* | yiqtol · piel | | ְכֶם *you* | | | | עֲשׂוֹת *do* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | עָשׂוּ *they have done* | qatal · qal | | תּֽוֹעֲבֹת *abominations* | | | | חֲטָאתֶם *you will sin* | weqatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
