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, these — and what happens in the verse to hire, house, abomination, 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. לֹא־תָבִיא֩ אֶתְנַ֨ן זוֹנָ֜ה וּמְחִ֣יר כֶּ֗לֶב בֵּ֛ית יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ לְכָל־נֶ֑דֶר כִּ֧י תוֹעֲבַ֛ת יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ גַּם־שְׁנֵיהֶֽם׃ [Thou shalt not bring the hire of a harlot, or the price of a dog, into the house of the LORD thy God for any vow; for even both these are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.632/) ## 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:625 # text = לֹא־תָבִיא֩ אֶתְנַ֨ן זוֹנָ֜ה וּמְחִ֣יר כֶּ֗לֶב בֵּ֛ית יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ לְכָל־נֶ֑דֶר כִּ֧י תוֹעֲבַ֛ת יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ גַּם־שְׁנֵיהֶֽם׃ # verse = DEU.23.19 1 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_23:19!1|MId=o050230190011|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 2 תָבִיא֩ בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.bring|Ref=DEU_23:19!2|MId=o050230190021|Strong=0935|Frame=AA:050230180101;A0:050230190031;050230190052;|Type=yiqtol 3 אֶתְנַ֨ן אֶתְנַן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=[the].hire|Ref=DEU_23:19!3|MId=o050230190031|Strong=0868 4 זוֹנָ֜ה זָנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.prostitute|Ref=DEU_23:19!4|MId=o050230190041|Strong=2185|Type=participle_active 5-6 וּמְחִ֣יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and.[the]|Ref=DEU_23:19!5|MId=o050230190051|Strong=2050b 6 מְחִ֣יר מְחִיר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 conj _ Gloss=price|Ref=DEU_23:19!5|MId=o050230190052|Strong=4242 7 כֶּ֗לֶב כֶּלֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.dog|Ref=DEU_23:19!6|MId=o050230190061|Strong=3611 8 בֵּ֛ית בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=DEU_23:19!7|MId=o050230190071|Strong=1004 9 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=DEU_23:19!8|MId=o050230190081|Strong=3068 10-11 אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אֱלֹהֶ֖י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_23:19!9|MId=o050230190091|Strong=0430 11 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_23:19!9|MId=o050230190092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12-13 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_23:19!10|MId=o050230190101|Strong=3807a 13 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=any|Ref=DEU_23:19!10|MId=o050230190102|Strong=3605 14 נֶ֑דֶר נֶדֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=vow|Ref=DEU_23:19!11|MId=o050230190111|Strong=5088 15 כִּ֧י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_23:19!12|MId=o050230190121|Strong=3588 16 תוֹעֲבַ֛ת תּוֹעֵבַה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 advcl _ Gloss=[are].(the).abomination|Ref=DEU_23:19!13|MId=o050230190131|Strong=8441 17 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=DEU_23:19!14|MId=o050230190141|Strong=3068 18-19 אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֱלֹהֶ֖י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_23:19!15|MId=o050230190151|Strong=0430 19 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_23:19!15|MId=o050230190152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20 גַּם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=DEU_23:19!16|MId=o050230190161|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 שְׁנֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 שְׁנֵי שְׁנַיִם NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 22 nummod _ Gloss=both|Ref=DEU_23:19!17|MId=o050230190171|Strong=8147|Type=cardinal_number 22 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nsubj _ Gloss=of.them|Ref=DEU_23:19!17|MId=o050230190172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=DEU_23:19!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תָבִיא *you will bring* | yiqtol · hiphil | אֶתְנַן *\[the\] hire* + מְחִיר *price* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
