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, right — and what happens in the verse to first born, double portion, man, first fruits, husband, 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. כִּי֩ אֶת־הַבְּכֹ֨ר בֶּן־הַשְּׂנוּאָ֜ה יַכִּ֗יר לָ֤תֶת לוֹ֙ פִּ֣י שְׁנַ֔יִם בְּכֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־יִמָּצֵ֖א ל֑וֹ כִּי־הוּא֙ רֵאשִׁ֣ית אֹנ֔וֹ ל֖וֹ מִשְׁפַּ֥ט הַבְּכֹרָֽה׃ס [but he shall acknowledge the first-born, the son of the hated, by giving him a double portion of all that he hath; for he is the first-fruits of his strength, the right of the first-born is his.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.578/) ## 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:571 # text = כִּי֩ אֶת־הַבְּכֹ֨ר בֶּן־הַשְּׂנוּאָ֜ה יַכִּ֗יר לָ֤תֶת לוֹ֙ פִּ֣י שְׁנַ֔יִם בְּכֹ֥ל אֲשֶׁר־יִמָּצֵ֖א ל֑וֹ כִּי־הוּא֙ רֵאשִׁ֣ית אֹנ֔וֹ ל֖וֹ מִשְׁפַּ֥ט הַבְּכֹרָֽה׃ס # verse = DEU.21.17 1 כִּי֩ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 8 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_21:17!1|MId=o050210170011|Strong=3588 2 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_21:17!2|MId=o050210170021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 3-4 הַבְּכֹ֨ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_21:17!3|MId=o050210170031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 בְּכֹ֨ר בְּכֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=firstborn|Ref=DEU_21:17!3|MId=o050210170032|Strong=1060 5 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 appos _ Gloss=the.son|Ref=DEU_21:17!4|MId=o050210170041|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 הַשְּׂנוּאָ֜ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_21:17!5|MId=o050210170051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 שְּׂנוּאָ֜ה שָׂנֵא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.hated.[wife]|Ref=DEU_21:17!5|MId=o050210170052|Strong=8130|Frame=A1:050210160192;|Type=participle_passive 8 יַכִּ֗יר נָכַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.acknowledge|Ref=DEU_21:17!6|MId=o050210170061|Strong=5234|Frame=AA:050210150032;A0:050210170032;|Type=yiqtol 9-10 לָ֤תֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לָ֤ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=DEU_21:17!7|MId=o050210170071|Strong=3807a 10 תֶת נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 8 advcl _ Gloss=giving|Ref=DEU_21:17!7|MId=o050210170072|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:050210150032;A1:050210170091;|Type=infinitive_construct 11-12 לוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ל לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_21:17!8|MId=o050210170081|Strong=3807a 12 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=DEU_21:17!8|MId=o050210170082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13 פִּ֣י פֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=a.mouth|Ref=DEU_21:17!9|MId=o050210170091|Strong=6310 14 שְׁנַ֔יִם שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 13 nummod _ Gloss=of.two|Ref=DEU_21:17!10|MId=o050210170101|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 15-16 בְּכֹ֥ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_21:17!11|MId=o050210170111|Strong=0871a 16 כֹ֥ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_21:17!11|MId=o050210170112|Strong=3605 17 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=DEU_21:17!12|MId=o050210170121|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 18 יִמָּצֵ֖א מָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 16 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.will.be.found|Ref=DEU_21:17!13|MId=o050210170131|Strong=4672|Frame=A1:050210170112;|Type=yiqtol 19-20 ל֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 ל לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_21:17!14|MId=o050210170141|Strong=3807a 20 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=DEU_21:17!14|MId=o050210170142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_21:17!15|MId=o050210170151|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 22 הוּא֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_21:17!16|MId=o050210170161|Strong=1931|Type=personal 23 רֵאשִׁ֣ית רֵאשִׁית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 advcl _ Gloss=[is].the.beginning|Ref=DEU_21:17!17|MId=o050210170171|Strong=7225 24-25 אֹנ֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אֹנ אוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.generative.power|Ref=DEU_21:17!18|MId=o050210170181|Strong=0202 25 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_21:17!18|MId=o050210170182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-27 ל֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 ל לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=[belongs].to|Ref=DEU_21:17!19|MId=o050210170191|Strong=3807a 27 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 parataxis _ Gloss=him|Ref=DEU_21:17!19|MId=o050210170192|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28 מִשְׁפַּ֥ט מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 nsubj _ Gloss=the.claim|Ref=DEU_21:17!20|MId=o050210170201|Strong=4941 29-30 הַבְּכֹרָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_21:17!21|MId=o050210170211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 בְּכֹרָֽה בְּכֹרָה NOUN _ Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.birthright|Ref=DEU_21:17!21|MId=o050210170212|Strong=1062 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=DEU_21:17!21|SpaceAfter=No 32 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=DEU_21:17!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
