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 — I, man, children, Thy — and what happens in the verse to man, brethren, own children, word, covenant, 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. הָאֹמֵ֞ר לְאָבִ֤יו וּלְאִמּוֹ֙ לֹ֣א רְאִיתִ֔יו וְאֶת־אֶחָיו֙ לֹ֣א הִכִּ֔יר וְאֶת־בָּנָ֖יו לֹ֣א יָדָ֑ע כִּ֤י שָֽׁמְרוּ֙ אִמְרָתֶ֔ךָ וּבְרִֽיתְךָ֖ יִנְצֹֽרוּ׃ [Who said of his father, and of his mother: 'I have not seen him'; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew he his own children; for they have observed Thy word, and keep Thy covenant.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.946/) ## 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:926 # text = הָאֹמֵ֞ר לְאָבִ֤יו וּלְאִמּוֹ֙ לֹ֣א רְאִיתִ֔יו וְאֶת־אֶחָיו֙ לֹ֣א הִכִּ֔יר וְאֶת־בָּנָ֖יו לֹ֣א יָדָ֑ע כִּ֤י שָֽׁמְרוּ֙ אִמְרָתֶ֔ךָ וּבְרִֽיתְךָ֖ יִנְצֹֽרוּ׃ # verse = DEU.33.9 1-2 הָאֹמֵ֞ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הָ הַ SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=[who]|Ref=DEU_33:9!1|MId=o050330090011|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 2 אֹמֵ֞ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=said|Ref=DEU_33:9!1|MId=o050330090012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:050330080013;A1:050330090051;|Type=participle_active 3-5 לְאָבִ֤יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_33:9!2|MId=o050330090021|Strong=3807a 4 אָבִ֤י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=father|Ref=DEU_33:9!2|MId=o050330090022|Strong=0001 5 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_33:9!2|MId=o050330090023|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6-9 וּלְאִמּוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_33:9!3|MId=o050330090031|Strong=2050b 7 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_33:9!3|MId=o050330090032|Strong=3807a 8 אִמּ אֵם NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=mother|Ref=DEU_33:9!3|MId=o050330090033|Strong=0517 9 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_33:9!3|MId=o050330090034|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_33:9!4|MId=o050330090041|Strong=3808|Type=negative 11-12 רְאִיתִ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 רְאִיתִ֔י רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I|Ref=DEU_33:9!5|MId=o050330090051|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:050330080013;A1:050330090052;|Type=qatal 12 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=saw.him|Ref=DEU_33:9!5|MId=o050330090052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13-14 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_33:9!6|MId=o050330090061|Strong=2050b 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_33:9!6|MId=o050330090062|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 15-16 אֶחָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֶחָי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obj _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=DEU_33:9!7|MId=o050330090071|Strong=0251 16 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_33:9!7|MId=o050330090072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 18 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_33:9!8|MId=o050330090081|Strong=3808|Type=negative 18 הִכִּ֔יר נָכַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.recognized|Ref=DEU_33:9!9|MId=o050330090091|Strong=5234|Frame=AA:050330080013;A0:050330090071;|Type=qatal 19-20 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_33:9!10|MId=o050330090101|Strong=2050b 20 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_33:9!10|MId=o050330090102|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 21-22 בָּנָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 בָּנָ֖י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 obj _ Gloss=children|Ref=DEU_33:9!12|MId=o050330090121|Strong=1121 22 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_33:9!12|MId=o050330090122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 24 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_33:9!13|MId=o050330090131|Strong=3808|Type=negative 24 יָדָ֑ע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.acknowledged|Ref=DEU_33:9!14|MId=o050330090141|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:050330080013;A1:050330090121;|Type=qatal 25 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 26 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_33:9!15|MId=o050330090151|Strong=3588 26 שָֽׁמְרוּ֙ שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=they.kept|Ref=DEU_33:9!16|MId=o050330090161|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:050330080013;A1:050330090171;|Type=qatal 27-28 אִמְרָתֶ֔ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 אִמְרָת אִמְרָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 26 obj _ Gloss=word|Ref=DEU_33:9!17|MId=o050330090171|Strong=0565 28 ֶ֔ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 27 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_33:9!17|MId=o050330090172|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 29-31 וּבְרִֽיתְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 32 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_33:9!18|MId=o050330090181|Strong=2050b 30 בְרִֽית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 32 obj _ Gloss=covenant|Ref=DEU_33:9!18|MId=o050330090182|Strong=1285 31 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 30 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_33:9!18|MId=o050330090183|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 32 יִנְצֹֽרוּ נָצַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.observed|Ref=DEU_33:9!19|MId=o050330090191|Strong=5341|Frame=A0:050330080013;A1:050330090182;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 33 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 32 punct _ Ref=DEU_33:9!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
