# Deuteronomy 5:5 דְּבָרִים

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** I, ye · **What happens:** stand, declare, be, not go up, say, word · **To what, where:** word, mount, LORD · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Deuteronomy 5:5 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 — I, ye — and what happens in the verse to word, mount, 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.

אָ֠נֹכִי עֹמֵ֨ד בֵּין־יְהוָ֤ה וּבֵֽינֵיכֶם֙ בָּעֵ֣ת הַהִ֔וא לְהַגִּ֥יד לָכֶ֖ם אֶת־דְּבַ֣ר יְהוָ֑ה כִּ֤י יְרֵאתֶם֙ מִפְּנֵ֣י הָאֵ֔שׁ וְלֹֽא־עֲלִיתֶ֥ם בָּהָ֖ר לֵאמֹֽר׃ס

[I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to declare unto you the word of the LORD; for ye were afraid because of the fire, and went not up into the mount — saying:](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.166/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.

## Pragmatics {#pragmatics}

<!-- sa -->
- form: statement
- act: assert
- voice: narrator
- speech: a frame; the quote follows
- negation: yes
- the frame alone: decl · assert · none

<!-- .fr -->
| verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| עֹמֵד *\[was\] standing* | participle active · qal | אָנֹכִי *I* |  |  |  |
| הַגִּיד *declare* | infinitive construct · hiphil | דְּבַר *the word* |  |  |  |
| יְרֵאתֶם *you were afraid* | qatal · qal |  |  |  |  |
| **not** עֲלִיתֶם *you went up* | qatal · qal |  |  |  |  |
| אמֹֽר | infinitive construct · qal | יְהוָה *of Yahweh* |  |  |  |

<!-- .note -->
MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

## Targum Onkelos {#onkelos}

<!-- .varc dir=rtl lang=arc -->
אֲנָא הֲוֵיתִי קָאֵם בֵּין מֵימְרָא דַיְיָ וּבֵינֵיכוֹן בְּעִדָנָא הַהִיא לְחַוָאָה לְכוֹן יָת פִּתְגָמָא דַיְיָ אֲרֵי דְחֶלְתּוּן מִקֳדָם אֵשָׁתָא וְלָא סְלֶקְתּוּן בְּטוּרָא לְמֵימָר

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.
