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 — man, Thummim, Thou — and what happens in the verse to holy one, Massah, waters, 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. וּלְלֵוִ֣י אָמַ֔ר תֻּמֶּ֥יךָ וְאוּרֶ֖יךָ לְאִ֣ישׁ חֲסִידֶ֑ךָ אֲשֶׁ֤ר נִסִּיתוֹ֙ בְּמַסָּ֔ה תְּרִיבֵ֖הוּ עַל־מֵ֥י מְרִיבָֽה׃ [And of Levi he said: Thy Thummim and Thy Urim be with Thy holy one, whom Thou didst prove at Massah, with whom Thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.945/) ## 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:925 # text = וּלְלֵוִ֣י אָמַ֔ר תֻּמֶּ֥יךָ וְאוּרֶ֖יךָ לְאִ֣ישׁ חֲסִידֶ֑ךָ אֲשֶׁ֤ר נִסִּיתוֹ֙ בְּמַסָּ֔ה תְּרִיבֵ֖הוּ עַל־מֵ֥י מְרִיבָֽה׃ # verse = DEU.33.8 1-3 וּלְלֵוִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_33:8!1|MId=o050330080011|Strong=2050b 2 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_33:8!1|MId=o050330080012|Strong=3807a 3 לֵוִ֣י לֵוִי PROPN _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=Levi|Ref=DEU_33:8!1|MId=o050330080013|Strong=3881 4 אָמַ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=DEU_33:8!2|MId=o050330080021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:050330040041;|Type=qatal 5-6 תֻּמֶּ֥יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 תֻּמֶּ֥י תֻּמִּים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 nsubj _ Gloss=Thummim|Ref=DEU_33:8!3|MId=o050330080031|Strong=8550 6 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_33:8!3|MId=o050330080032|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7-9 וְאוּרֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_33:8!4|MId=o050330080041|Strong=2050b 8 אוּרֶ֖י אוּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 conj _ Gloss=Urim|Ref=DEU_33:8!4|MId=o050330080042|Strong=0224 9 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_33:8!4|MId=o050330080043|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10-11 לְאִ֣ישׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=[belong].to|Ref=DEU_33:8!5|MId=o050330080051|Strong=3807a 11 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 ccomp _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=DEU_33:8!5|MId=o050330080052|Strong=0376 12-13 חֲסִידֶ֑ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 חֲסִיד חָסִיד ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 appos _ Gloss=your.faithful|Ref=DEU_33:8!6|MId=o050330080061|Strong=2623|Type=adjective 13 ֶ֑ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=[one]|Ref=DEU_33:8!6|MId=o050330080062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=whom|Ref=DEU_33:8!7|MId=o050330080071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 15-16 נִסִּיתוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 נִסִּית נָסָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 11 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_33:8!8|MId=o050330080081|Strong=5254|Frame=A0:050330070051;A1:050330080082;|Type=qatal 16 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obj _ Gloss=put.him.to.the.test|Ref=DEU_33:8!8|MId=o050330080082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-18 בְּמַסָּ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=DEU_33:8!9|MId=o050330080091|Strong=0871a 18 מַסָּ֔ה מַסָּה PROPN _ _ 15 obl _ Gloss=Massah|Ref=DEU_33:8!9|MId=o050330080092|Strong=4532 19-20 תְּרִיבֵ֖הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 תְּרִיב רִיב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 15 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_33:8!10|MId=o050330080101|Strong=7378|Frame=A0:050330070051;A1:050330080102;|Type=yiqtol 20 ֵ֖הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obj _ Gloss=contended.with.him|Ref=DEU_33:8!10|MId=o050330080102|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 21 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=DEU_33:8!11|MId=o050330080111|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 22 מֵ֥י מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 obl _ Gloss=the.waters|Ref=DEU_33:8!12|MId=o050330080121|Strong=4325 23 מְרִיבָֽה מְרִיבָה PROPN _ _ 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Meribah|Ref=DEU_33:8!13|MId=o050330080131|Strong=4809|SpaceAfter=No 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DEU_33:8!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he said* | qatal · qal | | | | | | נִסִּית *you* | qatal · piel | | וֹ *put him to the test* | | | | תְּרִיב *you* | yiqtol · qal | | ֵהוּ *contended with him* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
