Deuteronomy 31:2 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU.31.2/) [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 31](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/31/) / 31:2 # Deuteronomy 31:2 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** Moses, I, LORD, Thou · **What happens:** say, be, go out, come in, not go · **To what, where:** Jordan · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Deuteronomy 31:2 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 — Moses, I, LORD, Thou — and what happens in the verse to Jordan, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם בֶּן־מֵאָה֩ וְעֶשְׂרִ֨ים שָׁנָ֤ה אָנֹכִי֙ הַיּ֔וֹם לֹא־אוּכַ֥ל ע֖וֹד לָצֵ֣את וְלָב֑וֹא וַֽיהוָה֙ אָמַ֣ר אֵלַ֔י לֹ֥א תַעֲבֹ֖ר אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּ֥ן הַזֶּֽה׃ [And he said unto them: 'I am a hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in; and the LORD hath said unto me: Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.856/) ## 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:837 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֗ם בֶּן־מֵאָה֩ וְעֶשְׂרִ֨ים שָׁנָ֤ה אָנֹכִי֙ הַיּ֔וֹם לֹא־אוּכַ֥ל ע֖וֹד לָצֵ֣את וְלָב֑וֹא וַֽיהוָה֙ אָמַ֣ר אֵלַ֔י לֹ֥א תַעֲבֹ֖ר אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּ֥ן הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = DEU.31.2 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_31:2!1|MId=o050310020011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=DEU_31:2!1|MId=o050310020012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:050310010021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3-4 אֲלֵהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_31:2!2|MId=o050310020021|Strong=0413 4 ֵהֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=DEU_31:2!2|MId=o050310020022|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 5 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[am].a.son|Ref=DEU_31:2!3|MId=o050310020031|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 6 מֵאָה֩ מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Sing 9 nummod _ Gloss=of.one.hundred|Ref=DEU_31:2!4|MId=o050310020041|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 7-8 וְעֶשְׂרִ֨ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_31:2!5|MId=o050310020051|Strong=2050b 8 עֶשְׂרִ֨ים עֶשְׂרִים NUM _ Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=twenty|Ref=DEU_31:2!5|MId=o050310020052|Strong=6242|Type=cardinal_number 9 שָׁנָ֤ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=year[s]|Ref=DEU_31:2!6|MId=o050310020061|Strong=8141 10 אָנֹכִי֙ אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DEU_31:2!7|MId=o050310020071|Strong=0595|Type=personal 11-12 הַיּ֔וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_31:2!8|MId=o050310020081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 יּ֔וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=DEU_31:2!8|MId=o050310020082|Strong=3117 13 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_31:2!9|MId=o050310020091|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 14 אוּכַ֥ל יָכֹל VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 5 parataxis _ Gloss=I.am.able|Ref=DEU_31:2!10|MId=o050310020101|Strong=3201|Frame=A0:050310010021;|Type=yiqtol 15 ע֖וֹד עוֹד ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=still|Ref=DEU_31:2!11|MId=o050310020111|Strong=5750 16-17 לָצֵ֣את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_31:2!12|MId=o050310020121|Strong=3807a 17 צֵ֣את יָצָא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 14 xcomp _ Gloss=go.out|Ref=DEU_31:2!12|MId=o050310020122|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:050310010021;|Type=infinitive_construct 18-20 וְלָב֑וֹא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_31:2!13|MId=o050310020131|Strong=2050b 19 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_31:2!13|MId=o050310020132|Strong=3807a 20 ב֑וֹא בּוֹא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 17 conj _ Gloss=come|Ref=DEU_31:2!13|MId=o050310020133|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:050310010021;|Type=infinitive_construct 21-22 וַֽיהוָה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_31:2!14|MId=o050310020141|Strong=2050b 22 יהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 23 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_31:2!14|MId=o050310020142|Strong=3068 23 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=he.has.said|Ref=DEU_31:2!15|MId=o050310020151|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:050310020142;|Type=qatal 24-25 אֵלַ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אֵל אֶל ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_31:2!16|MId=o050310020161|Strong=0413 25 ַ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=DEU_31:2!16|MId=o050310020162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_31:2!17|MId=o050310020171|Strong=3808|Type=negative 27 תַעֲבֹ֖ר עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 23 ccomp _ Gloss=you.will.pass.over|Ref=DEU_31:2!18|MId=o050310020181|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:050310010021;|Type=yiqtol 28 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_31:2!19|MId=o050310020191|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 29-30 הַיַּרְדֵּ֥ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_31:2!20|MId=o050310020201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 יַּרְדֵּ֥ן יַרְדֵּן PROPN _ _ 27 obl _ Gloss=Jordan|Ref=DEU_31:2!20|MId=o050310020202|Strong=3383 31-32 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 32 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_31:2!21|MId=o050310020211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 32 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 30 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_31:2!21|MId=o050310020212|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=DEU_31:2!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
