Deuteronomy 30:8 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU.30.8/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Deuteronomy](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/) / [chapter 30](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/30/) / 30:8 # Deuteronomy 30:8 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** thou, I, LORD · **What happens:** return, hearken, do, command · **To what, where:** commandments · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Deuteronomy 30:8 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 — thou, I, LORD — and what happens in the verse to commandments, 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. וְאַתָּ֣ה תָשׁ֔וּב וְשָׁמַעְתָּ֖ בְּק֣וֹל יְהוָ֑ה וְעָשִׂ֙יתָ֙ אֶת־כָּל־מִצְוֺתָ֔יו אֲשֶׁ֛ר אָנֹכִ֥י מְצַוְּךָ֖ הַיּֽוֹם׃ [And thou shalt return and hearken to the voice of the LORD, and do all His commandments which I command thee this day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.842/) ## 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:823 # text = וְאַתָּ֣ה תָשׁ֔וּב וְשָׁמַעְתָּ֖ בְּק֣וֹל יְהוָ֑ה וְעָשִׂ֙יתָ֙ אֶת־כָּל־מִצְוֺתָ֔יו אֲשֶׁ֛ר אָנֹכִ֥י מְצַוְּךָ֖ הַיּֽוֹם׃ # verse = DEU.30.8 1-2 וְאַתָּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_30:8!1|MId=o050300080011|Strong=2050b 2 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_30:8!1|MId=o050300080012|Strong=0859|Type=personal 3 תָשׁ֔וּב שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.turn|Ref=DEU_30:8!2|MId=o050300080021|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:050300080012;|Type=yiqtol 4-5 וְשָׁמַעְתָּ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_30:8!3|MId=o050300080031|Strong=2050b 5 שָׁמַעְתָּ֖ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.will.listen|Ref=DEU_30:8!3|MId=o050300080032|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:050290200061;|Type=weqatal 6-7 בְּק֣וֹל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_30:8!4|MId=o050300080041|Strong=0871a 7 ק֣וֹל קוֹל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=the.voice|Ref=DEU_30:8!4|MId=o050300080042|Strong=6963 8 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 7 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=DEU_30:8!5|MId=o050300080051|Strong=3068 9-10 וְעָשִׂ֙יתָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_30:8!6|MId=o050300080061|Strong=2050b 10 עָשִׂ֙יתָ֙ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.will.do|Ref=DEU_30:8!6|MId=o050300080062|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050290200061;A1:050300080091;|Type=weqatal 11 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_30:8!7|MId=o050300080071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 12 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_30:8!8|MId=o050300080081|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 מִצְוֺתָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מִצְוֺתָ֔י מִצְוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=commandments|Ref=DEU_30:8!9|MId=o050300080091|Strong=4687 14 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_30:8!9|MId=o050300080092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15 אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_30:8!10|MId=o050300080101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 16 אָנֹכִ֥י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DEU_30:8!11|MId=o050300080111|Strong=0595|Type=personal 17-18 מְצַוְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 מְצַוּ צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 12 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[am].commanding|Ref=DEU_30:8!12|MId=o050300080121|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:050300080111;A2:050300080122;A1:050300080091;|Type=participle_active 18 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_30:8!12|MId=o050300080122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19-20 הַיּֽוֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_30:8!13|MId=o050300080131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 יּֽוֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=DEU_30:8!13|MId=o050300080132|Strong=3117 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=DEU_30:8!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תָשׁוּב *you will turn* | yiqtol · qal | אַתָּה *you* | | | | | שָׁמַעְתָּ *you will listen* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | עָשִׂיתָ *you will do* | weqatal · qal | | מִצְוֺתָי *commandments* | | | | מְצַוּ *\[am\] commanding* | participle active · piel | אָנֹכִי *I* | מִצְוֺתָי *commandments* | ְךָ *you* | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
