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 — thou, man — and what happens in the verse to new house, parapet, blood, 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. כִּ֤י תִבְנֶה֙ בַּ֣יִת חָדָ֔שׁ וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ מַעֲקֶ֖ה לְגַגֶּ֑ךָ וְלֹֽא־תָשִׂ֤ים דָּמִים֙ בְּבֵיתֶ֔ךָ כִּֽי־יִפֹּ֥ל הַנֹּפֵ֖ל מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ס [When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt make a parapet for thy roof, that thou bring not blood upon thy house, if any man fall from thence.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.592/) ## 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:585 # text = כִּ֤י תִבְנֶה֙ בַּ֣יִת חָדָ֔שׁ וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ מַעֲקֶ֖ה לְגַגֶּ֑ךָ וְלֹֽא־תָשִׂ֤ים דָּמִים֙ בְּבֵיתֶ֔ךָ כִּֽי־יִפֹּ֥ל הַנֹּפֵ֖ל מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ס # verse = DEU.22.8 1 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_22:8!1|MId=o050220080011|Strong=3588 2 תִבְנֶה֙ בָּנָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.build|Ref=DEU_22:8!2|MId=o050220080021|Strong=1129|Frame=A0:050210210111;A1:050220080031;|Type=yiqtol 3 בַּ֣יִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.house|Ref=DEU_22:8!3|MId=o050220080031|Strong=1004 4 חָדָ֔שׁ חָדָשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 amod _ Gloss=new|Ref=DEU_22:8!4|MId=o050220080041|Strong=2319|Type=adjective 5-6 וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_22:8!5|MId=o050220080051|Strong=2050b 6 עָשִׂ֥יתָ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.make|Ref=DEU_22:8!5|MId=o050220080052|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050210210111;A1:050220080061;|Type=weqatal 7 מַעֲקֶ֖ה מַעֲקֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=a.parapet|Ref=DEU_22:8!6|MId=o050220080061|Strong=4624 8-10 לְגַגֶּ֑ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_22:8!7|MId=o050220080071|Strong=3807a 9 גַגּ גָּג NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=roof|Ref=DEU_22:8!7|MId=o050220080072|Strong=1406 10 ֶ֑ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_22:8!7|MId=o050220080073|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11-12 וְלֹֽא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_22:8!8|MId=o050220080081|Strong=2050b 12 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_22:8!8|MId=o050220080082|Strong=3808|Type=negative 13 תָשִׂ֤ים שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.put|Ref=DEU_22:8!9|MId=o050220080091|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:050210210111;A1:050220080101;|Type=yiqtol 14 דָּמִים֙ דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obj _ Gloss=blood(s)|Ref=DEU_22:8!10|MId=o050220080101|Strong=1818 15-17 בְּבֵיתֶ֔ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DEU_22:8!11|MId=o050220080111|Strong=0871a 16 בֵית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 obl _ Gloss=house|Ref=DEU_22:8!11|MId=o050220080112|Strong=1004 17 ֶ֔ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_22:8!11|MId=o050220080113|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 18 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_22:8!12|MId=o050220080121|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 19 יִפֹּ֥ל נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=he.will.fall|Ref=DEU_22:8!13|MId=o050220080131|Strong=5307|Frame=A0:050220080142;|Type=yiqtol 20-21 הַנֹּפֵ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the.[one|Ref=DEU_22:8!14|MId=o050220080141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 נֹּפֵ֖ל נָפַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=who].falls|Ref=DEU_22:8!14|MId=o050220080142|Strong=5307|Type=participle_active 22-23 מִמֶּֽנּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_22:8!15|MId=o050220080151|Strong=4480 23 ֶֽנּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=DEU_22:8!15|MId=o050220080152|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DEU_22:8!15|SpaceAfter=No 25 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DEU_22:8!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִבְנֶה *you will build* | yiqtol · qal | | בַּיִת *a house* | | | | עָשִׂיתָ *you will make* | weqatal · qal | | מַעֲקֶה *a parapet* | | | | **not** תָשִׂים *you will put* | yiqtol · qal | | דָּמִים *blood(s)* | | | | יִפֹּל *he will fall* | yiqtol · qal | נֹּפֵל *who\] falls* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
