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 — man, one, other, father, born son — and what happens in the verse to two wives, children, man, woman, 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. כִּֽי־תִהְיֶ֨יןָ לְאִ֜ישׁ שְׁתֵּ֣י נָשִׁ֗ים הָאַחַ֤ת אֲהוּבָה֙ וְהָאַחַ֣ת שְׂנוּאָ֔ה וְיָֽלְדוּ־ל֣וֹ בָנִ֔ים הָאֲהוּבָ֖ה וְהַשְּׂנוּאָ֑ה וְהָיָ֛ה הַבֵּ֥ן הַבְּכ֖וֹר לַשְּׂנִיאָֽה׃ [If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the first-born son be hers that was hated;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.576/) ## 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:569 # text = כִּֽי־תִהְיֶ֨יןָ לְאִ֜ישׁ שְׁתֵּ֣י נָשִׁ֗ים הָאַחַ֤ת אֲהוּבָה֙ וְהָאַחַ֣ת שְׂנוּאָ֔ה וְיָֽלְדוּ־ל֣וֹ בָנִ֔ים הָאֲהוּבָ֖ה וְהַשְּׂנוּאָ֑ה וְהָיָ֛ה הַבֵּ֥ן הַבְּכ֖וֹר לַשְּׂנִיאָֽה׃ # verse = DEU.21.15 1 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_21:15!1|MId=o050210150011|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 2 תִהְיֶ֨יןָ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 cop _ Gloss=they.will.belong|Ref=DEU_21:15!2|MId=o050210150021|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050210150051;|Type=yiqtol 3-4 לְאִ֜ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_21:15!3|MId=o050210150031|Strong=3807a 4 אִ֜ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=DEU_21:15!3|MId=o050210150032|Strong=0376 5 שְׁתֵּ֣י שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 6 nummod _ Gloss=two|Ref=DEU_21:15!4|MId=o050210150041|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 6 נָשִׁ֗ים אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=wives|Ref=DEU_21:15!5|MId=o050210150051|Strong=0802 7-8 הָאַחַ֤ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_21:15!6|MId=o050210150061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 אַחַ֤ת אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=one|Ref=DEU_21:15!6|MId=o050210150062|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 9 אֲהוּבָה֙ אָהֵב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=[is].loved|Ref=DEU_21:15!7|MId=o050210150071|Strong=0157|Frame=A1:050210150062;|Type=participle_passive 10-12 וְהָאַחַ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_21:15!8|MId=o050210150081|Strong=2050b 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_21:15!8|MId=o050210150082|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אַחַ֣ת אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=one|Ref=DEU_21:15!8|MId=o050210150083|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 13 שְׂנוּאָ֔ה שָׂנֵא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=[is].hated|Ref=DEU_21:15!9|MId=o050210150091|Strong=8130|Frame=A1:050210150083;|Type=participle_passive 14-15 וְיָֽלְדוּ־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_21:15!10|MId=o050210150101|Strong=2050b 15 יָֽלְדוּ־ יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=they.will.bear|Ref=DEU_21:15!10|MId=o050210150102|Strong=3205|Frame=A1:050210150121;A0:050210150132;050210150143;|Type=weqatal 16-17 ל֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 ל לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_21:15!11|MId=o050210150111|Strong=3807a 17 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=DEU_21:15!11|MId=o050210150112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18 בָנִ֔ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=DEU_21:15!12|MId=o050210150121|Strong=1121 19-20 הָאֲהוּבָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=the.loved|Ref=DEU_21:15!13|MId=o050210150131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 אֲהוּבָ֖ה אָהֵב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=[wife]|Ref=DEU_21:15!13|MId=o050210150132|Strong=0157|Frame=A1:050210150062;|Type=participle_passive 21-23 וְהַשְּׂנוּאָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_21:15!14|MId=o050210150141|Strong=2050b 22 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=the.hated|Ref=DEU_21:15!14|MId=o050210150142|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 שְּׂנוּאָ֑ה שָׂנֵא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 20 conj _ Gloss=[wife]|Ref=DEU_21:15!14|MId=o050210150143|Strong=8130|Frame=A1:050210150083;|Type=participle_passive 24-25 וְהָיָ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_21:15!15|MId=o050210150151|Strong=2050b 25 הָיָ֛ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 32 cop _ Gloss=he.will.belong|Ref=DEU_21:15!15|MId=o050210150152|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050210150162;|Type=weqatal 26-27 הַבֵּ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_21:15!16|MId=o050210150161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 בֵּ֥ן בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 32 nsubj _ Gloss=son|Ref=DEU_21:15!16|MId=o050210150162|Strong=1121 28-29 הַבְּכ֖וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_21:15!17|MId=o050210150171|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 בְּכ֖וֹר בְּכֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 appos _ Gloss=firstborn|Ref=DEU_21:15!17|MId=o050210150172|Strong=1060 30-32 לַשְּׂנִיאָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_21:15!18|MId=o050210150181|Strong=3807a 31 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=the.hated|Ref=DEU_21:15!18|MId=o050210150181ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 שְּׂנִיאָֽה שָׂנִיא ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=[wife]|Ref=DEU_21:15!18|MId=o050210150182|Strong=8146|Type=adjective 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=DEU_21:15!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
