Deuteronomy 7:7 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.7.7/) [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 7](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/DEU/7/) / 7:7 # Deuteronomy 7:7 דְּבָרִים **Who acts:** LORD, ye · **What happens:** not set, choose, be, love · **To what, where:** love, you, number This is Deuteronomy 7:7 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, ye — and what happens in the verse to love, you, number, 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. לֹ֣א מֵֽרֻבְּכֶ֞ם מִכָּל־הָֽעַמִּ֗ים חָשַׁ֧ק יְהוָ֛ה בָּכֶ֖ם וַיִּבְחַ֣ר בָּכֶ֑ם כִּֽי־אַתֶּ֥ם הַמְעַ֖ט מִכָּל־הָעַמִּֽים׃ [The LORD did not set His love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people — for ye were the fewest of all peoples —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.227/) ## 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:225 # text = לֹ֣א מֵֽרֻבְּכֶ֞ם מִכָּל־הָֽעַמִּ֗ים חָשַׁ֧ק יְהוָ֛ה בָּכֶ֖ם וַיִּבְחַ֣ר בָּכֶ֑ם כִּֽי־אַתֶּ֥ם הַמְעַ֖ט מִכָּל־הָעַמִּֽים׃ # verse = DEU.7.7 1 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 9 parataxis _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_7:7!1|MId=o050070070011|Strong=3808|Type=negative 2-4 מֵֽרֻבְּכֶ֞ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 מֵֽ מִן ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=because|Ref=DEU_7:7!2|MId=o050070070021|Strong=4480 3 רֻבּ רבב VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 1 advcl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_7:7!2|MId=o050070070022|Strong=7231|Frame=A0:050070070023;|Type=infinitive_construct 4 ְכֶ֞ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=were.numerous|Ref=DEU_7:7!2|MId=o050070070023|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 5-6 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=more|Ref=DEU_7:7!3|MId=o050070070031|Strong=4480 6 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=than.all|Ref=DEU_7:7!3|MId=o050070070032|Strong=3605 7-8 הָֽעַמִּ֗ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_7:7!4|MId=o050070070041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 עַמִּ֗ים עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=peoples|Ref=DEU_7:7!4|MId=o050070070042|Strong=5971 9 חָשַׁ֧ק חָשַׁק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.loved|Ref=DEU_7:7!5|MId=o050070070051|Strong=2836|Frame=A0:050070070061;|Type=qatal 10 יְהוָ֛ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_7:7!6|MId=o050070070061|Strong=3068 11-12 בָּכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=DEU_7:7!7|MId=o050070070071|Strong=0871a 12 ָכֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_7:7!7|MId=o050070070072|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 13-14 וַיִּבְחַ֣ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_7:7!8|MId=o050070070081|Strong=2050b 14 יִּבְחַ֣ר בָּחַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=he.chose|Ref=DEU_7:7!8|MId=o050070070082|Strong=0977|Frame=A0:050070070061;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-16 בָּכֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(in)|Ref=DEU_7:7!9|MId=o050070070091|Strong=0871a 16 ָכֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_7:7!9|MId=o050070070092|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 17 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 20 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_7:7!10|MId=o050070070101|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 18 אַתֶּ֥ם אַתֶּם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_7:7!11|MId=o050070070111|Strong=0859a|Type=personal 19-20 הַמְעַ֖ט _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=[were].the|Ref=DEU_7:7!12|MId=o050070070121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 מְעַ֖ט מְעַט ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 advcl _ Gloss=few|Ref=DEU_7:7!12|MId=o050070070122|Strong=4592 21-22 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=DEU_7:7!13|MId=o050070070131|Strong=4480 22 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=DEU_7:7!13|MId=o050070070132|Strong=3605 23-24 הָעַמִּֽים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_7:7!14|MId=o050070070141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 עַמִּֽים עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=peoples|Ref=DEU_7:7!14|MId=o050070070142|Strong=5971 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=DEU_7:7!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | רֻבּ *you* | infinitive construct · qal | ְכֶם *were numerous* | | | | | **not** חָשַׁק *he loved* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | יִּבְחַר *he chose* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
