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, vulture, thou — and what happens in the verse to nation, end, tongue, 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. יִשָּׂ֣א יְהוָה֩ עָלֶ֨יךָ גּ֤וֹי מֵרָחוֹק֙ מִקְצֵ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר יִדְאֶ֖ה הַנָּ֑שֶׁר גּ֕וֹי אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־תִשְׁמַ֖ע לְשֹׁנֽוֹ׃ [The LORD will bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as the vulture swoopeth down; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.786/) ## 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:767 # text = יִשָּׂ֣א יְהוָה֩ עָלֶ֨יךָ גּ֤וֹי מֵרָחוֹק֙ מִקְצֵ֣ה הָאָ֔רֶץ כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר יִדְאֶ֖ה הַנָּ֑שֶׁר גּ֕וֹי אֲשֶׁ֥ר לֹא־תִשְׁמַ֖ע לְשֹׁנֽוֹ׃ # verse = DEU.28.49 1 יִשָּׂ֣א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.raise.up|Ref=DEU_28:49!1|MId=o050280490011|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:050280490021;A1:050280490041;|Type=yiqtol 2 יְהוָה֩ יהוה PROPN _ _ 1 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_28:49!2|MId=o050280490021|Strong=3068 3-4 עָלֶ֨יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 עָלֶ֨י עַל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DEU_28:49!3|MId=o050280490031|Strong=5921 4 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 1 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_28:49!3|MId=o050280490032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5 גּ֤וֹי גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obj _ Gloss=a.nation|Ref=DEU_28:49!4|MId=o050280490041|Strong=1471 6-7 מֵרָחוֹק֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_28:49!5|MId=o050280490051|Strong=4480 7 רָחוֹק֙ רָחֹוק ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=a.distance|Ref=DEU_28:49!5|MId=o050280490052|Strong=7350|Type=adjective 8-9 מִקְצֵ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_28:49!6|MId=o050280490061|Strong=4480 9 קְצֵ֣ה קָצֶה NOUN _ Number=Sing 7 nmod _ Gloss=the.end|Ref=DEU_28:49!6|MId=o050280490062|Strong=7097 10-11 הָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_28:49!7|MId=o050280490071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.earth|Ref=DEU_28:49!7|MId=o050280490072|Strong=0776 12-13 כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 1 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=DEU_28:49!8|MId=o050280490081|Strong=3509a 13 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=DEU_28:49!8|MId=o050280490082|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14 יִדְאֶ֖ה דָּאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=it.swoops.down|Ref=DEU_28:49!9|MId=o050280490091|Strong=1675|Frame=A0:050280490102;|Type=yiqtol 15-16 הַנָּ֑שֶׁר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_28:49!10|MId=o050280490101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 נָּ֑שֶׁר נֶשֶׁר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=eagle|Ref=DEU_28:49!10|MId=o050280490102|Strong=5404 17 גּ֕וֹי גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=a.nation|Ref=DEU_28:49!11|MId=o050280490111|Strong=1471 18 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_28:49!12|MId=o050280490121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 19 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_28:49!13|MId=o050280490131|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 20 תִשְׁמַ֖ע שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 17 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.will.understand|Ref=DEU_28:49!14|MId=o050280490141|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:050270260132;A1:050280490151;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 לְשֹׁנֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְשֹׁנ לָשׁוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=language|Ref=DEU_28:49!15|MId=o050280490151|Strong=3956 22 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=DEU_28:49!15|MId=o050280490152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=DEU_28:49!15 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִשָּׂא *he will raise up* | yiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | גּוֹי *a nation* | | | | יִדְאֶה *it swoops down* | yiqtol · qal | נָּשֶׁר *eagle* | | | | | **not** תִשְׁמַע *you will understand* | yiqtol · qal | | לְשֹׁנ *language* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
