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, LORD, ye — and what happens in the verse to statutes, you, me, midst, 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. רְאֵ֣ה ׀ לִמַּ֣דְתִּי אֶתְכֶ֗ם חֻקִּים֙ וּמִשְׁפָּטִ֔ים כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוַּ֖נִי יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑י לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת כֵּ֔ן בְּקֶ֣רֶב הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֛ם בָּאִ֥ים שָׁ֖מָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃ [Behold, I have taught you statutes and ordinances, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the midst of the land whither ye go in to possess it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.117/) ## 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:116 # text = רְאֵ֣ה ׀ לִמַּ֣דְתִּי אֶתְכֶ֗ם חֻקִּים֙ וּמִשְׁפָּטִ֔ים כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר צִוַּ֖נִי יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהָ֑י לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת כֵּ֔ן בְּקֶ֣רֶב הָאָ֔רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר אַתֶּ֛ם בָּאִ֥ים שָׁ֖מָּה לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ׃ # verse = DEU.4.5 1 רְאֵ֣ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=see|Ref=DEU_4:5!1|MId=o050040050011|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:050040040022;|Type=imperative 2 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 1 punct _ Ref=DEU_4:5!1 3 לִמַּ֣דְתִּי לָמַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 parataxis _ Gloss=I.have.taught|Ref=DEU_4:5!2|MId=o050040050021|Strong=3925|Frame=A0:050010050061;A2:050040050032;A1:050040050041;050040050052;|Type=qatal 4-5 אֶתְכֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_4:5!3|MId=o050040050031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 5 ְכֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_4:5!3|MId=o050040050032|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 6 חֻקִּים֙ חֹק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 xcomp _ Gloss=statutes|Ref=DEU_4:5!4|MId=o050040050041|Strong=2706 7-8 וּמִשְׁפָּטִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_4:5!5|MId=o050040050051|Strong=2050b 8 מִשְׁפָּטִ֔ים מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 conj _ Gloss=judgments|Ref=DEU_4:5!5|MId=o050040050052|Strong=4941 9-10 כַּאֲשֶׁ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=DEU_4:5!6|MId=o050040050061|Strong=3509a 10 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=DEU_4:5!6|MId=o050040050062|Strong=0834|Type=relative 11-12 צִוַּ֖נִי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 צִוּ צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_4:5!7|MId=o050040050071|Strong=6680|Frame=A1:050040050072;A0:050040050081;|Type=qatal 12 ַ֖נִי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=commanded.me|Ref=DEU_4:5!7|MId=o050040050072|Strong=5204a|Type=pronominal 13 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_4:5!8|MId=o050040050081|Strong=3068 14-15 אֱלֹהָ֑י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֱלֹה אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_4:5!9|MId=o050040050091|Strong=0430 15 ָ֑י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=DEU_4:5!9|MId=o050040050092|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 16-17 לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_4:5!10|MId=o050040050101|Strong=3807a 17 עֲשׂ֣וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 3 xcomp _ Gloss=do|Ref=DEU_4:5!10|MId=o050040050102|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050040040022;|Type=infinitive_construct 18 כֵּ֔ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 17 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=DEU_4:5!11|MId=o050040050111|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 19-20 בְּקֶ֣רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_4:5!12|MId=o050040050121|Strong=0871a 20 קֶ֣רֶב קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=DEU_4:5!12|MId=o050040050122|Strong=7130 21-22 הָאָ֔רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_4:5!13|MId=o050040050131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 אָ֔רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=DEU_4:5!13|MId=o050040050132|Strong=0776 23 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=where|Ref=DEU_4:5!14|MId=o050040050141|Strong=0834|Type=relative 24 אַתֶּ֛ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_4:5!15|MId=o050040050151|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 25 בָּאִ֥ים בּוֹא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 22 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].about.to.go|Ref=DEU_4:5!16|MId=o050040050161|Strong=0935|Frame=A0:050040050151;|Type=participle_active 26-27 שָׁ֖מָּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 שָׁ֖מּ שָׁם ADV _ _ 25 advmod _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_4:5!17|MId=o050040050171|Strong=8033 27 ָה ה X _ _ 26 nmod _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=DEU_4:5!17|MId=o050040050172|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 28-30 לְרִשְׁתָּֽהּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_4:5!18|MId=o050040050181|Strong=3807a 29 רִשְׁתּ יָרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 25 advcl _ Gloss=take|Ref=DEU_4:5!18|MId=o050040050182|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:050040040022;A1:050040050183;|Type=infinitive_construct 30 ָֽהּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 obj _ Gloss=possession.of.it|Ref=DEU_4:5!18|MId=o050040050183|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=DEU_4:5!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
