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: what happens in the verse to fathers, children, man, 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. לֹֽא־יוּמְת֤וּ אָבוֹת֙ עַל־בָּנִ֔ים וּבָנִ֖ים לֹא־יוּמְת֣וּ עַל־אָב֑וֹת אִ֥ישבְּחֶטְא֖וֹ יוּמָֽתוּ׃ס [The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers; every man shall be put to death for his own sin.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.655/) ## 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:648 # text = לֹֽא־יוּמְת֤וּ אָבוֹת֙ עַל־בָּנִ֔ים וּבָנִ֖ים לֹא־יוּמְת֣וּ עַל־אָב֑וֹת אִ֥ישבְּחֶטְא֖וֹ יוּמָֽתוּ׃ס # verse = DEU.24.16 1 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_24:16!1|MId=o050240160011|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 2 יוּמְת֤וּ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.will.be.put.to.death|Ref=DEU_24:16!2|MId=o050240160021|Strong=4191|Frame=A1:050240160031;|Type=yiqtol 3 אָבוֹת֙ אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=parents|Ref=DEU_24:16!3|MId=o050240160031|Strong=0001 4 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DEU_24:16!4|MId=o050240160041|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 5 בָּנִ֔ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=children|Ref=DEU_24:16!5|MId=o050240160051|Strong=1121 6-7 וּבָנִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_24:16!6|MId=o050240160061|Strong=2050b 7 בָנִ֖ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 nsubj _ Gloss=children|Ref=DEU_24:16!6|MId=o050240160062|Strong=1121 8 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_24:16!7|MId=o050240160071|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 9 יוּמְת֣וּ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.be.put.to.death|Ref=DEU_24:16!8|MId=o050240160081|Strong=4191|Frame=A1:050240160062;|Type=yiqtol 10 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DEU_24:16!9|MId=o050240160091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 11 אָב֑וֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=parents|Ref=DEU_24:16!10|MId=o050240160101|Strong=0001 12-15 אִ֥ישבְּחֶטְא֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אִ֥יש אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=each|Ref=DEU_24:16!11|MId=o050240160111|Strong=0376 13 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_24:16!12|MId=o050240160121|Strong=0871a 14 חֶטְא חֵטְא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=his.own|Ref=DEU_24:16!12|MId=o050240160122|Strong=2399 15 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=sin|Ref=DEU_24:16!12|MId=o050240160123|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16 יוּמָֽתוּ מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.be.put.to.death|Ref=DEU_24:16!13|MId=o050240160131|Strong=4191|Frame=A1:050240160031;050240160062;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 17 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=DEU_24:16!13|SpaceAfter=No 18 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 16 punct _ Ref=DEU_24:16!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יוּמְתוּ *they will be put to death* | yiqtol · hophal | | אָבוֹת *parents* | | | | **not** יוּמְתוּ *they will be put to death* | yiqtol · hophal | | בָנִים *children* | | | | יוּמָֽתוּ *they will be put to death* | yiqtol · hophal | | אָבוֹת *parents* + בָנִים *children* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
