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 — you, life, ye, LORD, land — and what happens in the verse to life, 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. וְשָׁמַעְתָּ֤ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְשָׁמַרְתָּ֣ לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת אֲשֶׁר֙ יִיטַ֣ב לְךָ֔ וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר תִּרְבּ֖וּן מְאֹ֑ד כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ דִּבֶּ֨ר יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י אֲבֹתֶ֙יךָ֙ לָ֔ךְ אֶ֛רֶץ זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּדְבָֽשׁ׃פ [Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD, the God of thy fathers, hath promised unto thee — a land flowing with milk and honey.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.198/) ## 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:196 # text = וְשָׁמַעְתָּ֤ יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְשָׁמַרְתָּ֣ לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת אֲשֶׁר֙ יִיטַ֣ב לְךָ֔ וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר תִּרְבּ֖וּן מְאֹ֑ד כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ דִּבֶּ֨ר יְהוָ֜ה אֱלֹהֵ֤י אֲבֹתֶ֙יךָ֙ לָ֔ךְ אֶ֛רֶץ זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּדְבָֽשׁ׃פ # verse = DEU.6.3 1-2 וְשָׁמַעְתָּ֤ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_6:3!1|MId=o050060030011|Strong=2050b 2 שָׁמַעְתָּ֤ שָׁמַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.hear|Ref=DEU_6:3!1|MId=o050060030012|Strong=8085|Frame=A0:050060030021;|Type=weqatal 3 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 2 parataxis _ Gloss=O.Israel|Ref=DEU_6:3!2|MId=o050060030021|Strong=3478 4-5 וְשָׁמַרְתָּ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_6:3!3|MId=o050060030031|Strong=2050b 5 שָׁמַרְתָּ֣ שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.take.care|Ref=DEU_6:3!3|MId=o050060030032|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:050060030021;|Type=weqatal 6-7 לַעֲשׂ֔וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_6:3!4|MId=o050060030041|Strong=3807a 7 עֲשׂ֔וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 xcomp _ Gloss=observe.[them]|Ref=DEU_6:3!4|MId=o050060030042|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050060030021;A1:050060020091;050060020102;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 אֲשֶׁר֙ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=DEU_6:3!5|MId=o050060030051|Strong=0834|Type=relative 9 יִיטַ֣ב יָטַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 5 parataxis _ Gloss=it.will.go.well|Ref=DEU_6:3!6|MId=o050060030061|Strong=3190|Frame=A0:;|Type=yiqtol 10-11 לְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 ל לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_6:3!7|MId=o050060030071|Strong=3807a 11 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_6:3!7|MId=o050060030072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 12-13 וַאֲשֶׁ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_6:3!8|MId=o050060030081|Strong=2050b 13 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=that|Ref=DEU_6:3!8|MId=o050060030082|Strong=0834|Type=relative 14-15 תִּרְבּ֖וּן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 תִּרְבּ֖וּ רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 9 conj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_6:3!9|MId=o050060030091|Strong=7235|Frame=A0:050060030021;|Type=yiqtol 15 ן נ X _ _ 14 nmod _ Gloss=will.increase|Ref=DEU_6:3!9|MId=o050060030092|Strong=4993b|Type=paragogic_nun 16 מְאֹ֑ד מְאֹד ADV _ _ 14 advmod _ Gloss=exceedingly|Ref=DEU_6:3!10|MId=o050060030101|Strong=3966 17-18 כַּאֲשֶׁר֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 כַּ כְּ ADP _ _ 14 obl _ Gloss=just|Ref=DEU_6:3!11|MId=o050060030111|Strong=3509a 18 אֲשֶׁר֩ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=as|Ref=DEU_6:3!11|MId=o050060030112|Strong=0834|Type=relative 19 דִּבֶּ֨ר דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 17 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.spoke|Ref=DEU_6:3!12|MId=o050060030121|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:050060030131;|Type=qatal 20 יְהוָ֜ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 19 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_6:3!13|MId=o050060030131|Strong=3068 21 אֱלֹהֵ֤י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=DEU_6:3!14|MId=o050060030141|Strong=0430 22-23 אֲבֹתֶ֙יךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 אֲבֹתֶ֙י אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.ancestors|Ref=DEU_6:3!15|MId=o050060030151|Strong=0001 23 ךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_6:3!15|MId=o050060030152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 24-25 לָ֔ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ל לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_6:3!16|MId=o050060030161|Strong=3807a 25 ָ֔ךְ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_6:3!16|MId=o050060030162|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 26 אֶ֛רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=a.land|Ref=DEU_6:3!17|MId=o050060030171|Strong=0776 27 זָבַ֥ת זוּב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 26 acl:relcl _ Gloss=flowing|Ref=DEU_6:3!18|MId=o050060030181|Strong=2100|Frame=A0:050060030171;|Type=participle_active 28 חָלָ֖ב חָלָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.milk|Ref=DEU_6:3!19|MId=o050060030191|Strong=2461 29-30 וּדְבָֽשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_6:3!20|MId=o050060030201|Strong=2050b 30 דְבָֽשׁ דְּבַשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 28 conj _ Gloss=honey|Ref=DEU_6:3!20|MId=o050060030202|Strong=1706 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=DEU_6:3!20|SpaceAfter=No 32 פ פ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=DEU_6:3!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
