Deuteronomy 34:4 in Hebrew with its dependency --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU.34.4/) [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 34](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/34/) / 34:4 # Deuteronomy 34:4 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** LORD, This, I, thee, thou · **What happens:** say, be, swear, give, cause, see · **To what, where:** land, thee · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Deuteronomy 34:4 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, This, I, thee, thou — and what happens in the verse to land, 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. וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלָ֗יו זֹ֤את הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֠שְׁבַּעְתִּי לְאַבְרָהָ֨ם לְיִצְחָ֤ק וּֽלְיַעֲקֹב֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לְזַרְעֲךָ֖ אֶתְּנֶ֑נָּה הֶרְאִיתִ֣יךָ בְעֵינֶ֔יךָ וְשָׁ֖מָּה לֹ֥א תַעֲבֹֽר׃ [And the LORD said unto him: 'This is the land which I swore unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying: I will give it unto thy seed; I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.972/) ## 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:950 # text = וַיֹּ֨אמֶר יְהוָ֜ה אֵלָ֗יו זֹ֤את הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֠שְׁבַּעְתִּי לְאַבְרָהָ֨ם לְיִצְחָ֤ק וּֽלְיַעֲקֹב֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר לְזַרְעֲךָ֖ אֶתְּנֶ֑נָּה הֶרְאִיתִ֣יךָ בְעֵינֶ֔יךָ וְשָׁ֖מָּה לֹ֥א תַעֲבֹֽר׃ # verse = DEU.34.4 1-2 וַיֹּ֨אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_34:4!1|MId=o050340040011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֨אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=DEU_34:4!1|MId=o050340040012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:050340040021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_34:4!2|MId=o050340040021|Strong=3068 4-5 אֵלָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֵלָ֗י אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_34:4!3|MId=o050340040031|Strong=0413 5 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=DEU_34:4!3|MId=o050340040032|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6 זֹ֤את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 8 nsubj _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_34:4!4|MId=o050340040041|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 7-8 הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=[is].the|Ref=DEU_34:4!5|MId=o050340040051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 אָ֙רֶץ֙ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=land|Ref=DEU_34:4!5|MId=o050340040052|Strong=0776 9 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 10 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_34:4!6|MId=o050340040061|Strong=0834|Type=relative 10 נִ֠שְׁבַּעְתִּי שָׁבַע VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 acl:relcl _ Gloss=I.swore|Ref=DEU_34:4!7|MId=o050340040071|Strong=7650|Frame=A0:050340040021;|Type=qatal 11-12 לְאַבְרָהָ֨ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_34:4!8|MId=o050340040081|Strong=3807a 12 אַבְרָהָ֨ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 10 obl _ Gloss=Abraham|Ref=DEU_34:4!8|MId=o050340040082|Strong=0085 13-14 לְיִצְחָ֤ק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_34:4!9|MId=o050340040091|Strong=3807a 14 יִצְחָ֤ק יִצְחָק PROPN _ _ 12 conj _ Gloss=Isaac|Ref=DEU_34:4!9|MId=o050340040092|Strong=3327 15-17 וּֽלְיַעֲקֹב֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_34:4!10|MId=o050340040101|Strong=2050b 16 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_34:4!10|MId=o050340040102|Strong=3807a 17 יַעֲקֹב֙ יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 12 conj _ Gloss=Jacob|Ref=DEU_34:4!10|MId=o050340040103|Strong=3290 18-19 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 23 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=DEU_34:4!11|MId=o050340040111|Strong=3807a 19 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 18 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_34:4!11|MId=o050340040112|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:050340040021;A1:050340040131;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-22 לְזַרְעֲךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_34:4!12|MId=o050340040121|Strong=3807a 21 זַרְע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=offspring|Ref=DEU_34:4!12|MId=o050340040122|Strong=2233 22 ֲךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_34:4!12|MId=o050340040123|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23-24 אֶתְּנֶ֑נָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֶתְּנֶ֑נּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 10 advcl _ Gloss=I|Ref=DEU_34:4!13|MId=o050340040131|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:050340040021;A1:050340040132;|Type=yiqtol 24 ָה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obj _ Gloss=will.give.it|Ref=DEU_34:4!13|MId=o050340040132|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 25-26 הֶרְאִיתִ֣יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הֶרְאִיתִ֣י רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 8 parataxis _ Gloss=I|Ref=DEU_34:4!14|MId=o050340040141|Strong=7200|Frame=AA:050340040021;A0:050340040142;|Type=qatal 26 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 obj _ Gloss=have.let.you.see.[it]|Ref=DEU_34:4!14|MId=o050340040142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 27-29 בְעֵינֶ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=DEU_34:4!15|MId=o050340040151|Strong=0871a 28 עֵינֶ֔י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 25 obl _ Gloss=your.own|Ref=DEU_34:4!15|MId=o050340040152|Strong=5869 29 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=DEU_34:4!15|MId=o050340040153|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 30-32 וְשָׁ֖מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 34 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_34:4!16|MId=o050340040161|Strong=2050b 31 שָׁ֖מּ שָׁם ADV _ _ 34 advmod _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_34:4!16|MId=o050340040162|Strong=8033 32 ָה ה X _ _ 31 nmod _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=DEU_34:4!16|MId=o050340040163|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 33 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 34 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_34:4!17|MId=o050340040171|Strong=3808|Type=negative 34 תַעֲבֹֽר עָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 8 conj _ Gloss=you.will.pass.over|Ref=DEU_34:4!18|MId=o050340040181|Strong=5674|Frame=A0:050340010021;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 35 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 34 punct _ Ref=DEU_34:4!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
