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 — and what happens in the verse to you, iron furnace, people, 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. וְאֶתְכֶם֙ לָקַ֣ח יְהוָ֔ה וַיּוֹצִ֥א אֶתְכֶ֛ם מִכּ֥וּר הַבַּרְזֶ֖ל מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם לִהְי֥וֹת ל֛וֹ לְעַ֥ם נַחֲלָ֖ה כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [But you hath the LORD taken and brought forth out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be unto Him a people of inheritance, as ye are this day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.132/) ## 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:131 # text = וְאֶתְכֶם֙ לָקַ֣ח יְהוָ֔ה וַיּוֹצִ֥א אֶתְכֶ֛ם מִכּ֥וּר הַבַּרְזֶ֖ל מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם לִהְי֥וֹת ל֛וֹ לְעַ֥ם נַחֲלָ֖ה כַּיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = DEU.4.20 1-3 וְאֶתְכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_4:20!1|MId=o050040200011|Strong=2050b 2 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_4:20!1|MId=o050040200012|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 3 ְכֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_4:20!1|MId=o050040200013|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 4 לָקַ֣ח לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.took|Ref=DEU_4:20!2|MId=o050040200021|Strong=3947|Frame=A1:050040200013;A0:050040200031;|Type=qatal 5 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_4:20!3|MId=o050040200031|Strong=3068 6-7 וַיּוֹצִ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 7 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_4:20!4|MId=o050040200041|Strong=2050b 7 יּוֹצִ֥א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=he.brought.out|Ref=DEU_4:20!4|MId=o050040200042|Strong=3318|Frame=AA:050040200031;A0:050040200052;|Type=wayyiqtol 8-9 אֶתְכֶ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_4:20!5|MId=o050040200051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9 ְכֶ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_4:20!5|MId=o050040200052|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 10-11 מִכּ֥וּר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_4:20!6|MId=o050040200061|Strong=4480 11 כּ֥וּר כּוּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=the.furnace|Ref=DEU_4:20!6|MId=o050040200062|Strong=3564 12-13 הַבַּרְזֶ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=DEU_4:20!7|MId=o050040200071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 בַּרְזֶ֖ל בַּרְזֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=iron|Ref=DEU_4:20!7|MId=o050040200072|Strong=1270 14-15 מִמִּצְרָ֑יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_4:20!8|MId=o050040200081|Strong=4480 15 מִּצְרָ֑יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 11 nmod _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=DEU_4:20!8|MId=o050040200082|Strong=4714 16-17 לִהְי֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_4:20!9|MId=o050040200091|Strong=3807a 17 הְי֥וֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 21 cop _ Gloss=become|Ref=DEU_4:20!9|MId=o050040200092|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050040040022;|Type=infinitive_construct 18-19 ל֛וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 ל לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_4:20!10|MId=o050040200101|Strong=3807a 19 ֛וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=DEU_4:20!10|MId=o050040200102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20-21 לְעַ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=DEU_4:20!11|MId=o050040200111|Strong=3807a 21 עַ֥ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 7 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=DEU_4:20!11|MId=o050040200112|Strong=5971 22 נַחֲלָ֖ה נַחֲלָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.inheritance|Ref=DEU_4:20!12|MId=o050040200121|Strong=5159 23-25 כַּיּ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=as|Ref=DEU_4:20!13|MId=o050040200131|Strong=3509a 24 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_4:20!13|MId=o050040200131ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 יּ֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=DEU_4:20!13|MId=o050040200132|Strong=3117 26-27 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_4:20!14|MId=o050040200141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 25 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_4:20!14|MId=o050040200142|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=DEU_4:20!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | לָקַח *he took* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | ְכֶם *you* | | | | יּוֹצִא *he brought out* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ְכֶם *you* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | הְיוֹת *become* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
