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 — father — and what happens in the verse to tokens, 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. וְלָקַ֛ח אֲבִ֥י הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ה וְאִמָּ֑הּ וְהוֹצִ֜יאוּ אֶת־בְּתוּלֵ֧י הַֽנַּעֲרָ֛ה אֶל־זִקְנֵ֥י הָעִ֖יר הַשָּֽׁעְרָה׃ [then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.599/) ## 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:592 # text = וְלָקַ֛ח אֲבִ֥י הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ה וְאִמָּ֑הּ וְהוֹצִ֜יאוּ אֶת־בְּתוּלֵ֧י הַֽנַּעֲרָ֛ה אֶל־זִקְנֵ֥י הָעִ֖יר הַשָּֽׁעְרָה׃ # verse = DEU.22.15 1-2 וְלָקַ֛ח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_22:15!1|MId=o050220150011|Strong=2050b 2 לָקַ֛ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.take|Ref=DEU_22:15!1|MId=o050220150012|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:050220150021;050220150052;A1:050220150081;|Type=weqatal 3 אֲבִ֥י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.father|Ref=DEU_22:15!2|MId=o050220150021|Strong=0001 4-5 הַֽנַּעֲרָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_22:15!4|MId=o050220150041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 נַּעֲרָ֖ה נַעֲרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.young.woman|Ref=DEU_22:15!4|MId=o050220150042|Strong=5291 6-8 וְאִמָּ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_22:15!5|MId=o050220150051|Strong=2050b 7 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=mother|Ref=DEU_22:15!5|MId=o050220150052|Strong=0517 8 ָ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=DEU_22:15!5|MId=o050220150053|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 9-10 וְהוֹצִ֜יאוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_22:15!6|MId=o050220150061|Strong=2050b 10 הוֹצִ֜יאוּ יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.bring.forth|Ref=DEU_22:15!6|MId=o050220150062|Strong=3318|Frame=AA:050220150021;050220150052;A0:050220150081;|Type=weqatal 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_22:15!7|MId=o050220150071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12 בְּתוּלֵ֧י בְּתוּלִים NOUN _ Number=Plur 10 obj _ Gloss=the.virginiti(es)|Ref=DEU_22:15!8|MId=o050220150081|Strong=1331 13-14 הַֽנַּעֲרָ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_22:15!10|MId=o050220150101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 נַּעֲרָ֛ה נַעֲרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.young.woman|Ref=DEU_22:15!10|MId=o050220150102|Strong=5291 15 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_22:15!11|MId=o050220150111|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 16 זִקְנֵ֥י זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=DEU_22:15!12|MId=o050220150121|Strong=2205|Type=adjective 17-18 הָעִ֖יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_22:15!13|MId=o050220150131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 עִ֖יר עִיר NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.city|Ref=DEU_22:15!13|MId=o050220150132|Strong=5892 19-21 הַשָּֽׁעְרָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_22:15!14|MId=o050220150141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 שָּֽׁעְר שַׁעַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_22:15!14|MId=o050220150142|Strong=8179 21 ָה ה X _ _ 20 nmod _ Gloss=gate|Ref=DEU_22:15!14|MId=o050220150143|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=DEU_22:15!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | לָקַח *he will take* | weqatal · qal | אֲבִי *the father* + אִמּ *mother* | בְּתוּלֵי *the virginiti(es)* | | | | הוֹצִיאוּ *they will bring forth* | weqatal · hiphil | בְּתוּלֵי *the virginiti(es)* | | | אֲבִי *the father* + אִמּ *mother* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
