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, LORD — and what happens in the verse to LORD, God, ways, statutes, 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. אֶת־יְהוָ֥ה הֶאֱמַ֖רְתָּ הַיּ֑וֹם לִהְיוֹת֩ לְךָ֨ לֵֽאלֹהִ֜ים וְלָלֶ֣כֶת בִּדְרָכָ֗יו וְלִשְׁמֹ֨ר חֻקָּ֧יו וּמִצְוֺתָ֛יו וּמִשְׁפָּטָ֖יו וְלִשְׁמֹ֥עַ בְּקֹלֽוֹ׃ [Thou hast avouched the LORD this day to be thy God, and that thou wouldest walk in His ways, and keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His ordinances, and hearken unto His voice.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.697/) ## 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:690 # text = אֶת־יְהוָ֥ה הֶאֱמַ֖רְתָּ הַיּ֑וֹם לִהְיוֹת֩ לְךָ֨ לֵֽאלֹהִ֜ים וְלָלֶ֣כֶת בִּדְרָכָ֗יו וְלִשְׁמֹ֨ר חֻקָּ֧יו וּמִצְוֺתָ֛יו וּמִשְׁפָּטָ֖יו וְלִשְׁמֹ֥עַ בְּקֹלֽוֹ׃ # verse = DEU.26.17 1 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 2 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_26:17!1|MId=o050260170011|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 2 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_26:17!2|MId=o050260170021|Strong=3068 3 הֶאֱמַ֖רְתָּ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.have.declared|Ref=DEU_26:17!3|MId=o050260170031|Strong=0559|Frame=AA:050250100032;A0:050260170021;|Type=qatal 4-5 הַיּ֑וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_26:17!4|MId=o050260170041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 יּ֑וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=DEU_26:17!4|MId=o050260170042|Strong=3117 6-7 לִהְיוֹת֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_26:17!5|MId=o050260170051|Strong=3807a 7 הְיוֹת֩ הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 cop _ Gloss=become|Ref=DEU_26:17!5|MId=o050260170052|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050260170021;|Type=infinitive_construct 8-9 לְךָ֨ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 ל לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_26:17!6|MId=o050260170061|Strong=3807a 9 ְךָ֨ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_26:17!6|MId=o050260170062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10-11 לֵֽאלֹהִ֜ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לֵֽ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(into)|Ref=DEU_26:17!7|MId=o050260170071|Strong=3807a 11 אלֹהִ֜ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 obl _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_26:17!7|MId=o050260170072|Strong=0430 12-14 וְלָלֶ֣כֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_26:17!8|MId=o050260170081|Strong=2050b 13 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_26:17!8|MId=o050260170082|Strong=3807a 14 לֶ֣כֶת הלך VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 conj _ Gloss=walk|Ref=DEU_26:17!8|MId=o050260170083|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:050250100032;|Type=infinitive_construct 15-17 בִּדְרָכָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_26:17!9|MId=o050260170091|Strong=0871a 16 דְרָכָ֗י דֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=ways|Ref=DEU_26:17!9|MId=o050260170092|Strong=1870 17 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_26:17!9|MId=o050260170093|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18-20 וְלִשְׁמֹ֨ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_26:17!10|MId=o050260170101|Strong=2050b 19 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_26:17!10|MId=o050260170102|Strong=3807a 20 שְׁמֹ֨ר שָׁמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 conj _ Gloss=keep|Ref=DEU_26:17!10|MId=o050260170103|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:050250100032;A1:050260170111;050260170122;050260170132;|Type=infinitive_construct 21-22 חֻקָּ֧יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 חֻקָּ֧י חֹק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 obj _ Gloss=statutes|Ref=DEU_26:17!11|MId=o050260170111|Strong=2706 22 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_26:17!11|MId=o050260170112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-25 וּמִצְוֺתָ֛יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_26:17!12|MId=o050260170121|Strong=2050b 24 מִצְוֺתָ֛י מִצְוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 21 conj _ Gloss=commandments|Ref=DEU_26:17!12|MId=o050260170122|Strong=4687 25 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_26:17!12|MId=o050260170123|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-28 וּמִשְׁפָּטָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_26:17!13|MId=o050260170131|Strong=2050b 27 מִשְׁפָּטָ֖י מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 conj _ Gloss=judgments|Ref=DEU_26:17!13|MId=o050260170132|Strong=4941 28 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_26:17!13|MId=o050260170133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 29-31 וְלִשְׁמֹ֥עַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_26:17!14|MId=o050260170141|Strong=2050b 30 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_26:17!14|MId=o050260170142|Strong=3807a 31 שְׁמֹ֥עַ שָׁמַע VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 conj _ Gloss=listen|Ref=DEU_26:17!14|MId=o050260170143|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:050250100032;|Type=infinitive_construct 32-34 בְּקֹלֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_26:17!15|MId=o050260170151|Strong=0871a 33 קֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 31 obl _ Gloss=voice|Ref=DEU_26:17!15|MId=o050260170152|Strong=6963 34 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 33 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_26:17!15|MId=o050260170153|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=DEU_26:17!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
