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, God, Abraham, 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. לְמַ֣עַן הָקִֽים־אֹתְךָ֩ הַיּ֨וֹם ׀ ל֜וֹ לְעָ֗ם וְה֤וּא יִֽהְיֶה־לְּךָ֙ לֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּר־לָ֑ךְ וְכַאֲשֶׁ֤ר נִשְׁבַּע֙ לַאֲבֹתֶ֔יךָ לְאַבְרָהָ֥ם לְיִצְחָ֖ק וּֽלְיַעֲקֹֽב׃ [that He may establish thee this day unto Himself for a people, and that He may be unto thee a God, as He spoke unto thee, and as He swore unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.818/) ## 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:799 # text = לְמַ֣עַן הָקִֽים־אֹתְךָ֩ הַיּ֨וֹם ׀ ל֜וֹ לְעָ֗ם וְה֤וּא יִֽהְיֶה־לְּךָ֙ לֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּר־לָ֑ךְ וְכַאֲשֶׁ֤ר נִשְׁבַּע֙ לַאֲבֹתֶ֔יךָ לְאַבְרָהָ֥ם לְיִצְחָ֖ק וּֽלְיַעֲקֹֽב׃ # verse = DEU.29.12 1 לְמַ֣עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=so.as|Ref=DEU_29:12!1|MId=o050290120011|Strong=4616 2 הָקִֽים־ קוּם VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 0 root _ Gloss=to.establish|Ref=DEU_29:12!2|MId=o050290120021|Strong=6965|Frame=AA:050290110071;A0:050290120032;|Type=infinitive_construct|SpaceAfter=No 3-4 אֹתְךָ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_29:12!3|MId=o050290120031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4 ְךָ֩ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_29:12!3|MId=o050290120032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 5-6 הַיּ֨וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_29:12!4|MId=o050290120041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 יּ֨וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=DEU_29:12!4|MId=o050290120042|Strong=3117 7 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 6 punct _ Ref=DEU_29:12!4 8-9 ל֜וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 ל לְ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_29:12!5|MId=o050290120051|Strong=3807a 9 ֜וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=himself|Ref=DEU_29:12!5|MId=o050290120052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10-11 לְעָ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_29:12!6|MId=o050290120061|Strong=3807a 11 עָ֗ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=a.people|Ref=DEU_29:12!6|MId=o050290120062|Strong=5971 12-13 וְה֤וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_29:12!7|MId=o050290120071|Strong=2050b 13 ה֤וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_29:12!7|MId=o050290120072|Strong=1931|Type=personal 14 יִֽהְיֶה־ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 18 cop _ Gloss=he.will.become|Ref=DEU_29:12!8|MId=o050290120081|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050290120072;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 לְּךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 לּ לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_29:12!9|MId=o050290120091|Strong=3807a 16 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_29:12!9|MId=o050290120092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17-18 לֵֽאלֹהִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לֵֽ לְ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(into)|Ref=DEU_29:12!10|MId=o050290120101|Strong=3807a 18 אלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_29:12!10|MId=o050290120102|Strong=0430 19-20 כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 18 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=DEU_29:12!11|MId=o050290120111|Strong=3509a 20 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 21 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=DEU_29:12!11|MId=o050290120112|Strong=0834|Type=relative 21 דִּבֶּר־ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=DEU_29:12!12|MId=o050290120121|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:050290110071;|Type=qatal|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 לָ֑ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 ל לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_29:12!13|MId=o050290120131|Strong=3807a 23 ָ֑ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_29:12!13|MId=o050290120132|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 24-26 וְכַאֲשֶׁ֤ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_29:12!14|MId=o050290120141|Strong=2050b 25 כַ כְּ ADP _ _ 19 conj _ Gloss=just|Ref=DEU_29:12!14|MId=o050290120142|Strong=3509a 26 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=DEU_29:12!14|MId=o050290120143|Strong=0834|Type=relative 27 נִשְׁבַּע֙ שָׁבַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 25 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.swore|Ref=DEU_29:12!15|MId=o050290120151|Strong=7650|Frame=A0:050290110071;|Type=qatal 28-30 לַאֲבֹתֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_29:12!16|MId=o050290120161|Strong=3807a 29 אֲבֹתֶ֔י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 27 obl _ Gloss=ancestors|Ref=DEU_29:12!16|MId=o050290120162|Strong=0001 30 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 29 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_29:12!16|MId=o050290120163|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 31-32 לְאַבְרָהָ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_29:12!17|MId=o050290120171|Strong=3807a 32 אַבְרָהָ֥ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 29 nmod _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=DEU_29:12!17|MId=o050290120172|Strong=0085 33-34 לְיִצְחָ֖ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 33 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 34 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_29:12!18|MId=o050290120181|Strong=3807a 34 יִצְחָ֖ק יִצְחָק PROPN _ _ 32 conj _ Gloss=Isaac|Ref=DEU_29:12!18|MId=o050290120182|Strong=3327 35-37 וּֽלְיַעֲקֹֽב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 35 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 37 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_29:12!19|MId=o050290120191|Strong=2050b 36 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 37 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_29:12!19|MId=o050290120192|Strong=3807a 37 יַעֲקֹֽב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 32 conj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=DEU_29:12!19|MId=o050290120193|Strong=3290 38 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 37 punct _ Ref=DEU_29:12!19 ``` ##
