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 — heart, ye — and what happens in the verse to vain thing, life, Jordan, heart, 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. כִּ֠י לֹֽא־דָבָ֨ר רֵ֥ק הוּא֙ מִכֶּ֔ם כִּי־ה֖וּא חַיֵּיכֶ֑ם וּבַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֗ה תַּאֲרִ֤יכוּ יָמִים֙ עַל־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אַתֶּ֜ם עֹבְרִ֧ים אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּ֛ן שָׁ֖מָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃פ [For it is no vain thing for you; because it is your life, and through this thing ye shall prolong your days upon the land, whither ye go over the Jordan to possess it.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.932/) ## 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:912 # text = כִּ֠י לֹֽא־דָבָ֨ר רֵ֥ק הוּא֙ מִכֶּ֔ם כִּי־ה֖וּא חַיֵּיכֶ֑ם וּבַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֗ה תַּאֲרִ֤יכוּ יָמִים֙ עַל־הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֨ר אַתֶּ֜ם עֹבְרִ֧ים אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּ֛ן שָׁ֖מָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃פ # verse = DEU.32.47 1 כִּ֠י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_32:47!1|MId=o050320470011|Strong=3588 2 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_32:47!2|MId=o050320470021|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 3 דָבָ֨ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[is].a.word|Ref=DEU_32:47!3|MId=o050320470031|Strong=1697 4 רֵ֥ק רֵיק ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 amod _ Gloss=[too].empty|Ref=DEU_32:47!4|MId=o050320470041|Strong=7386|Type=adjective 5 הוּא֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=DEU_32:47!5|MId=o050320470051|Strong=1931|Type=personal 6-7 מִכֶּ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_32:47!6|MId=o050320470061|Strong=4480 7 כֶּ֔ם מִן PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_32:47!6|MId=o050320470062|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 8 כִּי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_32:47!7|MId=o050320470071|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 9 ה֖וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=DEU_32:47!8|MId=o050320470081|Strong=1931|Type=personal 10-11 חַיֵּיכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 חַיֵּי חַיִּים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 advcl _ Gloss=lives|Ref=DEU_32:47!9|MId=o050320470091|Strong=2416 11 כֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[is].your|Ref=DEU_32:47!9|MId=o050320470092|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 12-15 וּבַדָּבָ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_32:47!10|MId=o050320470101|Strong=2050b 13 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=DEU_32:47!10|MId=o050320470102|Strong=0871a 14 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_32:47!10|MId=o050320470102ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 דָּבָ֣ר דָּבָר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=word|Ref=DEU_32:47!10|MId=o050320470103|Strong=1697 16-17 הַזֶּ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_32:47!11|MId=o050320470111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 זֶּ֗ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 15 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_32:47!11|MId=o050320470112|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 18 תַּאֲרִ֤יכוּ אָרַךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.will.prolong|Ref=DEU_32:47!12|MId=o050320470121|Strong=0748|Frame=AA:050320450101;A0:050320470131;|Type=yiqtol 19 יָמִים֙ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obj _ Gloss=days|Ref=DEU_32:47!13|MId=o050320470131|Strong=3117 20 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=DEU_32:47!14|MId=o050320470141|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 הָ֣אֲדָמָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הָ֣ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_32:47!15|MId=o050320470151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 אֲדָמָ֔ה אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=land|Ref=DEU_32:47!15|MId=o050320470152|Strong=0127 23 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=where|Ref=DEU_32:47!16|MId=o050320470161|Strong=0834|Type=relative 24 אַתֶּ֜ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_32:47!17|MId=o050320470171|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 25 עֹבְרִ֧ים עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 22 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].about.to.pass.over|Ref=DEU_32:47!18|MId=o050320470181|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:050320470171;|Type=participle_active 26 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_32:47!19|MId=o050320470191|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 27-28 הַיַּרְדֵּ֛ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_32:47!20|MId=o050320470201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 יַּרְדֵּ֛ן יַרְדֵּן PROPN _ _ 25 obl _ Gloss=Jordan|Ref=DEU_32:47!20|MId=o050320470202|Strong=3383 29-30 שָׁ֖מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 שָׁ֖מּ שָׁם ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_32:47!21|MId=o050320470211|Strong=8033 30 ָה ה X _ _ 29 nmod _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=DEU_32:47!21|MId=o050320470212|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 31-33 לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 31 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 32 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_32:47!22|MId=o050320470221|Strong=3807a 32 רִשְׁתּ יָרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 25 advcl _ Gloss=take|Ref=DEU_32:47!22|MId=o050320470222|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:050320450101;A1:050320470223;|Type=infinitive_construct 33 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 32 obj _ Gloss=possession.of.it|Ref=DEU_32:47!22|MId=o050320470223|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=DEU_32:47!22|SpaceAfter=No 35 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=DEU_32:47!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
