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 — you, ye — and what happens in the verse to words, all, covenant, 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. וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֗ם אֶת־דִּבְרֵי֙ הַבְּרִ֣ית הַזֹּ֔את וַעֲשִׂיתֶ֖ם אֹתָ֑ם לְמַ֣עַן תַּשְׂכִּ֔ילוּ אֵ֖ת כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעֲשֽׂוּן׃פ [Observe therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may make all that ye do to prosper.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.814/) ## 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:795 # text = וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֗ם אֶת־דִּבְרֵי֙ הַבְּרִ֣ית הַזֹּ֔את וַעֲשִׂיתֶ֖ם אֹתָ֑ם לְמַ֣עַן תַּשְׂכִּ֔ילוּ אֵ֖ת כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר תַּעֲשֽׂוּן׃פ # verse = DEU.29.8 1-2 וּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_29:8!1|MId=o050290080011|Strong=2050b 2 שְׁמַרְתֶּ֗ם שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.keep|Ref=DEU_29:8!1|MId=o050290080012|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:050290010051;A1:050290080031;|Type=weqatal 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_29:8!2|MId=o050290080021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 דִּבְרֵי֙ דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obj _ Gloss=the.words|Ref=DEU_29:8!3|MId=o050290080031|Strong=1697 5-6 הַבְּרִ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_29:8!4|MId=o050290080041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 בְּרִ֣ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.covenant|Ref=DEU_29:8!4|MId=o050290080042|Strong=1285 7-8 הַזֹּ֔את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_29:8!5|MId=o050290080051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 זֹּ֔את זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 6 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_29:8!5|MId=o050290080052|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 9-10 וַעֲשִׂיתֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_29:8!6|MId=o050290080061|Strong=2050b 10 עֲשִׂיתֶ֖ם עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.do|Ref=DEU_29:8!6|MId=o050290080062|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050290010051;A1:050290080072;|Type=weqatal 11-12 אֹתָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_29:8!7|MId=o050290080071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 12 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=DEU_29:8!7|MId=o050290080072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 13 לְמַ֣עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=so.that|Ref=DEU_29:8!8|MId=o050290080081|Strong=4616 14 תַּשְׂכִּ֔ילוּ שָׂכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you.may.cause.to.prosper|Ref=DEU_29:8!9|MId=o050290080091|Strong=7919|Frame=AA:050290010051;A0:050290080111;|Type=yiqtol 15 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_29:8!10|MId=o050290080101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_29:8!11|MId=o050290080111|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 17 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=DEU_29:8!12|MId=o050290080121|Strong=0834|Type=relative 18-19 תַּעֲשֽׂוּן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 תַּעֲשֽׂוּ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 16 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_29:8!13|MId=o050290080131|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050290010051;A1:050290080111;|Type=yiqtol 19 ן נ X _ _ 18 nmod _ Gloss=will.do|Ref=DEU_29:8!13|MId=o050290080132|Strong=4993b|Type=paragogic_nun 20 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=DEU_29:8!13|SpaceAfter=No 21 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 19 punct _ Ref=DEU_29:8!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שְׁמַרְתֶּם *you will keep* | weqatal · qal | | דִּבְרֵי *the words* | | | | עֲשִׂיתֶם *you will do* | weqatal · qal | | ָם *them* | | | | תַּשְׂכִּילוּ *you may cause to prosper* | yiqtol · hiphil | כָּל־ *all* | | | | | תַּעֲשֽׂוּ *you* | yiqtol · qal | | כָּל־ *all* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
