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, peoples — and what happens in the verse to holy people, thee, own treasure, 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. כִּ֣י עַ֤ם קָדוֹשׁ֙ אַתָּ֔ה לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ בְּךָ֞ בָּחַ֣ר ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ לִהְי֥וֹת לוֹ֙ לְעַ֣ם סְגֻלָּ֔ה מִכֹּל֙ הָֽעַמִּ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָֽה׃ס [For thou art a holy people unto the LORD thy God: the LORD thy God hath chosen thee to be His own treasure, out of all peoples that are upon the face of the earth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.226/) ## 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:224 # text = כִּ֣י עַ֤ם קָדוֹשׁ֙ אַתָּ֔ה לַיהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ בְּךָ֞ בָּחַ֣ר ׀ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ לִהְי֥וֹת לוֹ֙ לְעַ֣ם סְגֻלָּ֔ה מִכֹּל֙ הָֽעַמִּ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הָאֲדָמָֽה׃ס # verse = DEU.7.6 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_7:6!1|MId=o050070060011|Strong=3588 2 עַ֤ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=[are].a.people|Ref=DEU_7:6!2|MId=o050070060021|Strong=5971 3 קָדוֹשׁ֙ קָדוֹשׁ ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 amod _ Gloss=holy|Ref=DEU_7:6!3|MId=o050070060031|Strong=6918|Type=adjective 4 אַתָּ֔ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 2 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_7:6!4|MId=o050070060041|Strong=0859|Type=personal 5-6 לַיהוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_7:6!5|MId=o050070060051|Strong=3807a 6 יהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_7:6!5|MId=o050070060052|Strong=3068 7-8 אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 אֱלֹהֶ֑י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_7:6!6|MId=o050070060061|Strong=0430 8 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 7 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_7:6!6|MId=o050070060062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 9-10 בְּךָ֞ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=DEU_7:6!7|MId=o050070060071|Strong=0871a 10 ְךָ֞ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_7:6!7|MId=o050070060072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11 בָּחַ֣ר בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.has.chosen|Ref=DEU_7:6!8|MId=o050070060081|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:050070060091;|Type=qatal 12 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 11 punct _ Ref=DEU_7:6!8 13 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_7:6!9|MId=o050070060091|Strong=3068 14-15 אֱלֹהֶ֗יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 אֱלֹהֶ֗י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_7:6!10|MId=o050070060101|Strong=0430 15 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_7:6!10|MId=o050070060102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 16-17 לִהְי֥וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_7:6!11|MId=o050070060111|Strong=3807a 17 הְי֥וֹת הָיָה AUX _ HebBinyan=QAL 21 cop _ Gloss=become|Ref=DEU_7:6!11|MId=o050070060112|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:050060040021;|Type=infinitive_construct 18-19 לוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 ל לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=DEU_7:6!12|MId=o050070060121|Strong=3807a 19 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=DEU_7:6!12|MId=o050070060122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20-21 לְעַ֣ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=DEU_7:6!13|MId=o050070060131|Strong=3807a 21 עַ֣ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=people|Ref=DEU_7:6!13|MId=o050070060132|Strong=5971 22 סְגֻלָּ֔ה סְגֻלָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.possession|Ref=DEU_7:6!14|MId=o050070060141|Strong=5459 23-24 מִכֹּל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_7:6!15|MId=o050070060151|Strong=4480 24 כֹּל֙ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_7:6!15|MId=o050070060152|Strong=3605 25-26 הָֽעַמִּ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_7:6!16|MId=o050070060161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 עַמִּ֔ים עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=peoples|Ref=DEU_7:6!16|MId=o050070060162|Strong=5971 27 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 29 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_7:6!17|MId=o050070060171|Strong=0834|Type=relative 28 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=[are].on|Ref=DEU_7:6!18|MId=o050070060181|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 29 פְּנֵ֥י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 24 acl:relcl _ Gloss=the.surface|Ref=DEU_7:6!19|MId=o050070060191|Strong=6440 30-31 הָאֲדָמָֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 31 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_7:6!20|MId=o050070060201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 31 אֲדָמָֽה אֲדָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 29 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.ground|Ref=DEU_7:6!20|MId=o050070060202|Strong=0127 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=DEU_7:6!20|SpaceAfter=No 33 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=DEU_7:6!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | בָּחַר *he has chosen* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | הְיוֹת *become* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
