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 — LORD — and what happens in the verse to thee, knees, thou, head, 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. יַכְּכָ֨ה יְהוָ֜ה בִּשְׁחִ֣ין רָ֗ע עַל־הַבִּרְכַּ֙יִם֙ וְעַל־הַשֹּׁקַ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־תוּכַ֖ל לְהֵרָפֵ֑א מִכַּ֥ף רַגְלְךָ֖ וְעַ֥ד קָדְקֳדֶֽךָ׃ [The LORD will smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore boil, whereof thou canst not be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the crown of thy head.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.772/) ## 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:753 # text = יַכְּכָ֨ה יְהוָ֜ה בִּשְׁחִ֣ין רָ֗ע עַל־הַבִּרְכַּ֙יִם֙ וְעַל־הַשֹּׁקַ֔יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־תוּכַ֖ל לְהֵרָפֵ֑א מִכַּ֥ף רַגְלְךָ֖ וְעַ֥ד קָדְקֳדֶֽךָ׃ # verse = DEU.28.35 1-2 יַכְּכָ֨ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 יַכּ נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_28:35!1|MId=o050280350011|Strong=5221|Frame=A0:050280350012;AA:050280350021;|Type=yiqtol 2 ְכָ֨ה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 1 obj _ Gloss=will.strike.you|Ref=DEU_28:35!1|MId=o050280350012|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 3 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 1 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_28:35!2|MId=o050280350021|Strong=3068 4-5 בִּשְׁחִ֣ין _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=DEU_28:35!3|MId=o050280350031|Strong=0871a 5 שְׁחִ֣ין שְׁחִין NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=boil[s]|Ref=DEU_28:35!3|MId=o050280350032|Strong=7822 6 רָ֗ע רַע ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 amod _ Gloss=bad|Ref=DEU_28:35!4|MId=o050280350041|Strong=7451|Type=adjective 7 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DEU_28:35!5|MId=o050280350051|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 הַבִּרְכַּ֙יִם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_28:35!6|MId=o050280350061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 בִּרְכַּ֙יִם֙ בֶּרֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 5 nmod _ Gloss=knees|Ref=DEU_28:35!6|MId=o050280350062|Strong=1290 10-11 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_28:35!7|MId=o050280350071|Strong=2050b 11 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DEU_28:35!7|MId=o050280350072|Strong=5921 12-13 הַשֹּׁקַ֔יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_28:35!8|MId=o050280350081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 שֹּׁקַ֔יִם שׁוֹק NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Dual 9 conj _ Gloss=legs|Ref=DEU_28:35!8|MId=o050280350082|Strong=7785 14 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 16 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_28:35!9|MId=o050280350091|Strong=0834|Type=relative 15 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_28:35!10|MId=o050280350101|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 16 תוּכַ֖ל יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 5 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.will.be.able|Ref=DEU_28:35!11|MId=o050280350111|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:050270260132;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 לְהֵרָפֵ֑א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_28:35!12|MId=o050280350121|Strong=3807a 18 הֵרָפֵ֑א רָפָא VERB _ HebBinyan=NIPHAL 16 xcomp _ Gloss=be.healed|Ref=DEU_28:35!12|MId=o050280350122|Strong=7495|Frame=A1:050270260132;|Type=infinitive_construct 19-20 מִכַּ֥ף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_28:35!13|MId=o050280350131|Strong=4480 20 כַּ֥ף כַּף NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=the.sole|Ref=DEU_28:35!13|MId=o050280350132|Strong=3709 21-22 רַגְלְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 רַגְל רֶגֶל NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.foot|Ref=DEU_28:35!14|MId=o050280350141|Strong=7272 22 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_28:35!14|MId=o050280350142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23-24 וְעַ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_28:35!15|MId=o050280350151|Strong=2050b 24 עַ֥ד עַד ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_28:35!15|MId=o050280350152|Strong=5704 25-26 קָדְקֳדֶֽךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 קָדְקֳד קׇדְקֹד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 conj _ Gloss=of.your.head|Ref=DEU_28:35!16|MId=o050280350161|Strong=6936 26 ֶֽךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nmod:poss _ Gloss=the.crown|Ref=DEU_28:35!16|MId=o050280350162|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=DEU_28:35!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַכּ *he* | yiqtol · hiphil | ְכָה *will strike you* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | **not** תוּכַל *you will be able* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | הֵרָפֵא *be healed* | infinitive construct · niphal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
