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, days, LORD — and what happens in the verse to perfect weight, perfect measure, land, thee, 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. אֶ֣בֶן שְׁלֵמָ֤ה וָצֶ֙דֶק֙ יִֽהְיֶה־לָּ֔ךְ אֵיפָ֧ה שְׁלֵמָ֛ה וָצֶ֖דֶק יִֽהְיֶה־לָּ֑ךְ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יַאֲרִ֣יכוּ יָמֶ֔יךָ עַ֚ל הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָֽךְ׃ [A perfect and just weight shalt thou have; a perfect and just measure shalt thou have; that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.676/) ## 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:669 # text = אֶ֣בֶן שְׁלֵמָ֤ה וָצֶ֙דֶק֙ יִֽהְיֶה־לָּ֔ךְ אֵיפָ֧ה שְׁלֵמָ֛ה וָצֶ֖דֶק יִֽהְיֶה־לָּ֑ךְ לְמַ֙עַן֙ יַאֲרִ֣יכוּ יָמֶ֔יךָ עַ֚ל הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לָֽךְ׃ # verse = DEU.25.15 1 אֶ֣בֶן אֶבֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 7 nsubj _ Gloss=a.weight|Ref=DEU_25:15!1|MId=o050250150011|Strong=0068 2 שְׁלֵמָ֤ה שָׁלֵם ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 amod _ Gloss=full|Ref=DEU_25:15!2|MId=o050250150021|Strong=8003|Type=adjective 3-4 וָצֶ֙דֶק֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_25:15!3|MId=o050250150031|Strong=2050b 4 צֶ֙דֶק֙ צֶדֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=righteousness|Ref=DEU_25:15!3|MId=o050250150032|Strong=6664 5 יִֽהְיֶה־ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 cop _ Gloss=it.will.belong|Ref=DEU_25:15!4|MId=o050250150041|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050250150011;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 לָּ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_25:15!5|MId=o050250150051|Strong=3807a 7 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 0 root _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_25:15!5|MId=o050250150052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 אֵיפָ֧ה אֵיפָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=a.measure|Ref=DEU_25:15!6|MId=o050250150061|Strong=0374 9 שְׁלֵמָ֛ה שָׁלֵם ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 amod _ Gloss=full|Ref=DEU_25:15!7|MId=o050250150071|Strong=8003|Type=adjective 10-11 וָצֶ֖דֶק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_25:15!8|MId=o050250150081|Strong=2050b 11 צֶ֖דֶק צֶדֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=righteousness|Ref=DEU_25:15!8|MId=o050250150082|Strong=6664 12 יִֽהְיֶה־ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 cop _ Gloss=it.will.belong|Ref=DEU_25:15!9|MId=o050250150091|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050250150061;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 לָּ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_25:15!10|MId=o050250150101|Strong=3807a 14 ָ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_25:15!10|MId=o050250150102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15 לְמַ֙עַן֙ לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=so.that|Ref=DEU_25:15!11|MId=o050250150111|Strong=4616 16 יַאֲרִ֣יכוּ אָרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 7 parataxis _ Gloss=they.may.be.long|Ref=DEU_25:15!12|MId=o050250150121|Strong=0748|Frame=A0:050250150131;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 יָמֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 יָמֶ֔י יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 nsubj _ Gloss=days|Ref=DEU_25:15!13|MId=o050250150131|Strong=3117 18 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_25:15!13|MId=o050250150132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19 עַ֚ל עַל ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DEU_25:15!14|MId=o050250150141|Strong=5921 20-21 הָֽאֲדָמָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_25:15!15|MId=o050250150151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אֲדָמָ֔ה אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=DEU_25:15!15|MId=o050250150152|Strong=0127 22 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 26 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_25:15!16|MId=o050250150161|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 23 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 26 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_25:15!17|MId=o050250150171|Strong=3068 24-25 אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אֱלֹהֶ֖י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_25:15!18|MId=o050250150181|Strong=0430 25 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_25:15!18|MId=o050250150182|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 26 נֹתֵ֥ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 21 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[is].about.to.give|Ref=DEU_25:15!19|MId=o050250150191|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:050250150171;A1:050250150152;|Type=participle_active 27-28 לָֽךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 ל לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_25:15!20|MId=o050250150201|Strong=3807a 28 ָֽךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 26 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_25:15!20|MId=o050250150202|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=DEU_25:15!20 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִֽהְיֶה־ *it will belong* | yiqtol · qal | אֶבֶן *a weight* | | | | | יִֽהְיֶה־ *it will belong* | yiqtol · qal | אֵיפָה *a measure* | | | | | יַאֲרִיכוּ *they may be long* | yiqtol · hiphil | יָמֶי *days* | | | | | נֹתֵן *\[is\] about to give* | participle active · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | אֲדָמָה *land* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
