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, sons, LORD — and what happens in the verse to law, ark, 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. וַיִּכְתֹּ֣ב מֹשֶׁה֮ אֶת־הַתּוֹרָ֣ה הַזֹּאת֒ וַֽיִּתְּנָ֗הּ אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ בְּנֵ֣י לֵוִ֔י הַנֹּ֣שְׂאִ֔ים אֶת־אֲר֖וֹן בְּרִ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה וְאֶל־כָּל־זִקְנֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [And Moses wrote this law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and unto all the elders of Israel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.863/) ## 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:844 # text = וַיִּכְתֹּ֣ב מֹשֶׁה֮ אֶת־הַתּוֹרָ֣ה הַזֹּאת֒ וַֽיִּתְּנָ֗הּ אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ בְּנֵ֣י לֵוִ֔י הַנֹּ֣שְׂאִ֔ים אֶת־אֲר֖וֹן בְּרִ֣ית יְהוָ֑ה וְאֶל־כָּל־זִקְנֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ # verse = DEU.31.9 1-2 וַיִּכְתֹּ֣ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_31:9!1|MId=o050310090011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּכְתֹּ֣ב כָּתַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.wrote.down|Ref=DEU_31:9!1|MId=o050310090012|Strong=3789|Frame=A0:050310090021;A1:050310090042;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מֹשֶׁה֮ מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=DEU_31:9!2|MId=o050310090021|Strong=4872 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_31:9!3|MId=o050310090031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַתּוֹרָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_31:9!4|MId=o050310090041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 תּוֹרָ֣ה תּוֹרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=law|Ref=DEU_31:9!4|MId=o050310090042|Strong=8451 7-8 הַזֹּאת֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_31:9!5|MId=o050310090051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 זֹּאת֒ זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 6 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_31:9!5|MId=o050310090052|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 9-11 וַֽיִּתְּנָ֗הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_31:9!6|MId=o050310090061|Strong=2050b 10 יִּתְּנ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_31:9!6|MId=o050310090062|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:050310090021;A1:050310090063;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 ָ֗הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=gave.it|Ref=DEU_31:9!6|MId=o050310090063|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_31:9!7|MId=o050310090071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 הַכֹּהֲנִים֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_31:9!8|MId=o050310090081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 כֹּהֲנִים֙ כֹּהֵן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=priests|Ref=DEU_31:9!8|MId=o050310090082|Strong=3548 15 בְּנֵ֣י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 appos _ Gloss=the.sons|Ref=DEU_31:9!9|MId=o050310090091|Strong=1121 16 לֵוִ֔י לֵוִי PROPN _ _ 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Levi|Ref=DEU_31:9!10|MId=o050310090101|Strong=3881 17-18 הַנֹּ֣שְׂאִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=[who]|Ref=DEU_31:9!11|MId=o050310090111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 נֹּ֣שְׂאִ֔ים נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 14 appos _ Gloss=carry|Ref=DEU_31:9!11|MId=o050310090112|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:050310090082;A1:050310090131;|Type=participle_active 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_31:9!12|MId=o050310090121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20 אֲר֖וֹן אֲרוֹן NOUN _ Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=the.ark|Ref=DEU_31:9!13|MId=o050310090131|Strong=0727 21 בְּרִ֣ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.covenant|Ref=DEU_31:9!14|MId=o050310090141|Strong=1285 22 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=DEU_31:9!15|MId=o050310090151|Strong=3068 23-24 וְאֶל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_31:9!16|MId=o050310090161|Strong=2050b 24 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_31:9!16|MId=o050310090162|Strong=0413 25 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_31:9!17|MId=o050310090171|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 26 זִקְנֵ֖י זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=DEU_31:9!18|MId=o050310090181|Strong=2205|Type=adjective 27 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=DEU_31:9!19|MId=o050310090191|Strong=3478|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=DEU_31:9!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּכְתֹּב *he wrote down* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | תּוֹרָה *law* | | | | יִּתְּנ *he* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | ָהּ *gave it* | | | | נֹּשְׂאִים *carry* | participle active · qal | כֹּהֲנִים *priests* | אֲרוֹן *the ark* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
