Deuteronomy 6:24 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.6.24/) [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 6](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/6/) / 6:24 # Deuteronomy 6:24 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** LORD, good · **What happens:** command, do, fear, preserve, be · **To what, where:** us, statutes, LORD · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse This is Deuteronomy 6:24 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, good — and what happens in the verse to us, statutes, 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. וַיְצַוֵּ֣נוּ יְהוָ֗ה לַעֲשׂוֹת֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַחֻקִּ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה לְיִרְאָ֖ה אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ לְט֥וֹב לָ֙נוּ֙ כָּל־הַיָּמִ֔ים לְחַיֹּתֵ֖נוּ כְּהַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ [And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.219/) ## 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:217 # text = וַיְצַוֵּ֣נוּ יְהוָ֗ה לַעֲשׂוֹת֙ אֶת־כָּל־הַחֻקִּ֣ים הָאֵ֔לֶּה לְיִרְאָ֖ה אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ לְט֥וֹב לָ֙נוּ֙ כָּל־הַיָּמִ֔ים לְחַיֹּתֵ֖נוּ כְּהַיּ֥וֹם הַזֶּֽה׃ # verse = DEU.6.24 1-3 וַיְצַוֵּ֣נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_6:24!1|MId=o050060240011|Strong=2050b 2 יְצַוּ צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_6:24!1|MId=o050060240012|Strong=6680|Frame=A1:050060240013;A0:050060240021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ֵ֣נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=commanded.us|Ref=DEU_6:24!1|MId=o050060240013|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 4 יְהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_6:24!2|MId=o050060240021|Strong=3068 5-6 לַעֲשׂוֹת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_6:24!3|MId=o050060240031|Strong=3807a 6 עֲשׂוֹת֙ עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 xcomp _ Gloss=observe|Ref=DEU_6:24!3|MId=o050060240032|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050060040021;A1:050060240062;|Type=infinitive_construct 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_6:24!4|MId=o050060240041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 8 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_6:24!5|MId=o050060240051|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 9-10 הַחֻקִּ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_6:24!6|MId=o050060240061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 חֻקִּ֣ים חֹק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=statutes|Ref=DEU_6:24!6|MId=o050060240062|Strong=2706 11-12 הָאֵ֔לֶּה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_6:24!7|MId=o050060240071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 אֵ֔לֶּה אֵלֶּה DET _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|PronType=Dem 10 det _ Gloss=these|Ref=DEU_6:24!7|MId=o050060240072|Strong=0428|Type=demonstrative 13-14 לְיִרְאָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_6:24!8|MId=o050060240081|Strong=3807a 14 יִרְאָ֖ה יָרֵא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 conj _ Gloss=fear|Ref=DEU_6:24!8|MId=o050060240082|Strong=3372|Frame=A0:050060040021;A1:050060240101;|Type=infinitive_construct 15 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_6:24!9|MId=o050060240091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 16 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 14 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_6:24!10|MId=o050060240101|Strong=3068 17-18 אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֱלֹהֵ֑י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_6:24!11|MId=o050060240111|Strong=0430 18 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=DEU_6:24!11|MId=o050060240112|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 19-20 לְט֥וֹב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_6:24!12|MId=o050060240121|Strong=3807a 20 ט֥וֹב טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=good|Ref=DEU_6:24!12|MId=o050060240122|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 21-22 לָ֙נוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 ל לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_6:24!13|MId=o050060240131|Strong=3807a 22 ָ֙נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 20 nmod _ Gloss=us|Ref=DEU_6:24!13|MId=o050060240132|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 23 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_6:24!14|MId=o050060240141|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 הַיָּמִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 25 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_6:24!15|MId=o050060240151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 25 יָּמִ֔ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=days|Ref=DEU_6:24!15|MId=o050060240152|Strong=3117 26-28 לְחַיֹּתֵ֖נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_6:24!16|MId=o050060240161|Strong=3807a 27 חַיֹּת חָיָה VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 2 xcomp _ Gloss=preserve|Ref=DEU_6:24!16|MId=o050060240162|Strong=2421|Frame=A0:050060240101;A1:050060240163;|Type=infinitive_construct 28 ֵ֖נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 27 obj _ Gloss=us.alive|Ref=DEU_6:24!16|MId=o050060240163|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 29-31 כְּהַיּ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=as|Ref=DEU_6:24!17|MId=o050060240171|Strong=3509a 30 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_6:24!17|MId=o050060240172|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 יּ֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=DEU_6:24!17|MId=o050060240173|Strong=3117 32-33 הַזֶּֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 33 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_6:24!18|MId=o050060240181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 33 זֶּֽה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 31 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_6:24!18|MId=o050060240182|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=DEU_6:24!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
