Deuteronomy 5:11 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU.5.11/) [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 5](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/5/) / 5:11 # Deuteronomy 5:11 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** Thou, LORD · **What happens:** not take, not hold, take, name · **To what, where:** name, vain, God, LORD This is Deuteronomy 5:11 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 — Thou, LORD — and what happens in the verse to name, vain, God, LORD, 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. לֹ֥א תִשָּׂ֛א אֶת־שֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ לַשָּׁ֑וְא כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יְנַקֶּה֙ יְהוָ֔ה אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־יִשָּׂ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ לַשָּֽׁוְא׃ס [Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.172/) ## 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:171 # text = לֹ֥א תִשָּׂ֛א אֶת־שֵֽׁם־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ לַשָּׁ֑וְא כִּ֣י לֹ֤א יְנַקֶּה֙ יְהוָ֔ה אֵ֛ת אֲשֶׁר־יִשָּׂ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ לַשָּֽׁוְא׃ס # verse = DEU.5.11 1 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_5:11!1|MId=o050050110011|Strong=3808|Type=negative 2 תִשָּׂ֛א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.must.take|Ref=DEU_5:11!2|MId=o050050110021|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:050050010091;A1:050050110041;|Type=yiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_5:11!3|MId=o050050110031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 שֵֽׁם־ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=the.name|Ref=DEU_5:11!4|MId=o050050110041|Strong=8034|SpaceAfter=No 5 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=DEU_5:11!5|MId=o050050110051|Strong=3068 6-7 אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֱלֹהֶ֖י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_5:11!6|MId=o050050110061|Strong=0430 7 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_5:11!6|MId=o050050110062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8-10 לַשָּׁ֑וְא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_5:11!7|MId=o050050110071|Strong=3807a 9 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_5:11!7|MId=o050050110071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 שָּׁ֑וְא שָׁוְא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=emptiness|Ref=DEU_5:11!7|MId=o050050110072|Strong=7723 11 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_5:11!8|MId=o050050110081|Strong=3588 12 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 13 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_5:11!9|MId=o050050110091|Strong=3808|Type=negative 13 יְנַקֶּה֙ נָקָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 advcl _ Gloss=he.will.leave.unpunished|Ref=DEU_5:11!10|MId=o050050110101|Strong=5352|Frame=A0:050050110111;A1:050050110141;|Type=yiqtol 14 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 13 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_5:11!11|MId=o050050110111|Strong=3068 15 אֵ֛ת אֵת ADP _ _ 13 obj _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_5:11!12|MId=o050050110121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 16 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=[one].who|Ref=DEU_5:11!13|MId=o050050110131|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 17 יִשָּׂ֥א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.will.take|Ref=DEU_5:11!14|MId=o050050110141|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:;A1:050050110161;|Type=yiqtol 18 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_5:11!15|MId=o050050110151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 19-20 שְׁמ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=DEU_5:11!16|MId=o050050110161|Strong=8034 20 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_5:11!16|MId=o050050110162|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21-23 לַשָּֽׁוְא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_5:11!17|MId=o050050110171|Strong=3807a 22 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_5:11!17|MId=o050050110171ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 שָּֽׁוְא שָׁוְא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=emptiness|Ref=DEU_5:11!17|MId=o050050110172|Strong=7723 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DEU_5:11!17|SpaceAfter=No 25 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=DEU_5:11!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תִשָּׂא *you must take* | yiqtol · qal | | שֵֽׁם־ *the name* | | | | **not** יְנַקֶּה *he will leave unpunished* | yiqtol · piel | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | יִשָּׂא *he will take* | | | | יִשָּׂא *he will take* | yiqtol · qal | | שְׁמ *name* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
