# Deuteronomy 27:4 דְּבָרִים

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** ye, I, thou · **What happens:** be, pass, set up, command, plaster · **To what, where:** land, ye, Jordan, stones, mount · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Deuteronomy 27:4 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — ye, I, thou — and what happens in the verse to land, ye, Jordan, stones, mount, 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.

[And it shall be when ye are passed over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaster them with plaster.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.703/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.

## Pragmatics {#pragmatics}

<!-- sa -->
- form: statement
- act: assert
- voice: character
- speech: inside a quote begun earlier
- negation: no

<!-- .fr -->
| verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| עָבְר *you* | infinitive construct · qal | ְכֶם *have passed over* |  |  |  |
| תָּקִימוּ *you will set up* | yiqtol · hiphil | אֲבָנִים *stones* |  |  |  |

<!-- .note -->
MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

## Targum Onkelos {#onkelos}

<!-- .varc dir=rtl lang=arc -->
וִיהֵי בְּמֵעֲבָרְכוֹן יָת יַרְדְנָא תְּקִימוּן יָת אַבְנַיָא הָאִלֵין דִי אֲנָא מְפַקֵד יָתְכוֹן יוֹמָא דֵין בְּטּוּרָא דְעֵיבָל וּתְסוּד יָתְהוֹן בְּסִידָא

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
