Deuteronomy 31:8 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.31.8/) [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 31](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/31/) / 31:8 # Deuteronomy 31:8 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** LORD · **What happens:** be, not fail, forsake, not fear, dismay · **To what, where:** thee This is Deuteronomy 31:8 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 — LORD — and what happens in the verse to thee, 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. וַֽיהוָ֞ה ה֣וּא ׀ הַהֹלֵ֣ךְ לְפָנֶ֗יךָ ה֚וּא יִהְיֶ֣ה עִמָּ֔ךְ לֹ֥א יַרְפְּךָ֖ וְלֹ֣א יַֽעַזְבֶ֑ךָּ לֹ֥א תִירָ֖א וְלֹ֥א תֵחָֽת׃ [And the LORD, He it is that doth go before thee; He will be with thee, He will not fail thee, neither forsake thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.862/) ## 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:843 # text = וַֽיהוָ֞ה ה֣וּא ׀ הַהֹלֵ֣ךְ לְפָנֶ֗יךָ ה֚וּא יִהְיֶ֣ה עִמָּ֔ךְ לֹ֥א יַרְפְּךָ֖ וְלֹ֣א יַֽעַזְבֶ֑ךָּ לֹ֥א תִירָ֖א וְלֹ֥א תֵחָֽת׃ # verse = DEU.31.8 1-2 וַֽיהוָ֞ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_31:8!1|MId=o050310080011|Strong=2050b 2 יהוָ֞ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 dislocated _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_31:8!1|MId=o050310080012|Strong=3068 3 ה֣וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_31:8!2|MId=o050310080021|Strong=1931|Type=personal 4 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 3 punct _ Ref=DEU_31:8!2 5-6 הַהֹלֵ֣ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=DEU_31:8!3|MId=o050310080031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 הֹלֵ֣ךְ הָלַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[one.who].goes|Ref=DEU_31:8!3|MId=o050310080032|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:050310080012;|Type=participle_active 7-9 לְפָנֶ֗יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=before|Ref=DEU_31:8!4|MId=o050310080041|Strong=3807a 8 פָנֶ֗י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 6 obl _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_31:8!4|MId=o050310080042|Strong=6440 9 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_31:8!4|MId=o050310080043|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10 ה֚וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_31:8!5|MId=o050310080051|Strong=1931|Type=personal 11 יִהְיֶ֣ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 13 cop _ Gloss=he.will.be|Ref=DEU_31:8!6|MId=o050310080061|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050310080051;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 עִמָּ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 עִמּ עִם ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=DEU_31:8!7|MId=o050310080071|Strong=5973 13 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_31:8!7|MId=o050310080072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 15 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_31:8!8|MId=o050310080081|Strong=3808|Type=negative 15-16 יַרְפְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 יַרְפּ רָפָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 6 parataxis _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_31:8!9|MId=o050310080091|Strong=7503|Frame=AA:050310080012;A0:050310080092;|Type=yiqtol 16 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=will.abandon.you|Ref=DEU_31:8!9|MId=o050310080092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17-18 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_31:8!10|MId=o050310080101|Strong=2050b 18 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_31:8!10|MId=o050310080102|Strong=3808|Type=negative 19-20 יַֽעַזְבֶ֑ךָּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 יַֽעַזְב עָזַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_31:8!11|MId=o050310080111|Strong=5800|Frame=A0:050310080012;A1:050310080112;|Type=yiqtol 20 ֶ֑ךָּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 obj _ Gloss=will.forsake.you|Ref=DEU_31:8!11|MId=o050310080112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 21 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 22 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_31:8!12|MId=o050310080121|Strong=3808|Type=negative 22 תִירָ֖א יָרֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 parataxis _ Gloss=you.must.be.afraid|Ref=DEU_31:8!13|MId=o050310080131|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:050310070032;|Type=yiqtol 23-24 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_31:8!14|MId=o050310080141|Strong=2050b 24 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_31:8!14|MId=o050310080142|Strong=3808|Type=negative 25 תֵחָֽת חָתַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 22 conj _ Gloss=you.must.be.dismayed|Ref=DEU_31:8!15|MId=o050310080151|Strong=2865|Frame=A0:050310070032;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=DEU_31:8!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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֹלֵךְ *\[one who\] goes* | participle active · qal | יהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יִהְיֶה *he will be* | yiqtol · qal | הוּא *he* | | | | | **not** יַרְפּ *he* | yiqtol · hiphil | ְךָ *will abandon you* | | | יהוָה *Yahweh* | | **not** יַֽעַזְב *he* | yiqtol · qal | יהוָה *Yahweh* | ֶךָּ *will forsake you* | | | | **not** תִירָא *you must be afraid* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | **not** תֵחָֽת *you must be dismayed* | yiqtol · niphal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
