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, LORD, faithful God — and what happens in the verse to God, covenant, LORD, commandments, 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. וְיָ֣דַעְתָּ֔ כִּֽי־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ ה֣וּא הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים הָאֵל֙ הַֽנֶּאֱמָ֔ן שֹׁמֵ֧ר הַבְּרִ֣ית וְהַחֶ֗סֶד לְאֹהֲבָ֛יו וּלְשֹׁמְרֵ֥י מִצְוֺתָ֖יו לְאֶ֥לֶף דּֽוֹר׃ [Know therefore that the LORD thy God, He is God; the faithful God, who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love Him and keep His commandments to a thousand generations;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.229/) ## 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:227 # text = וְיָ֣דַעְתָּ֔ כִּֽי־יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ ה֣וּא הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים הָאֵל֙ הַֽנֶּאֱמָ֔ן שֹׁמֵ֧ר הַבְּרִ֣ית וְהַחֶ֗סֶד לְאֹהֲבָ֛יו וּלְשֹׁמְרֵ֥י מִצְוֺתָ֖יו לְאֶ֥לֶף דּֽוֹר׃ # verse = DEU.7.9 1-2 וְיָ֣דַעְתָּ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_7:9!1|MId=o050070090011|Strong=2050b 2 יָ֣דַעְתָּ֔ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.know|Ref=DEU_7:9!1|MId=o050070090012|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:050060040021;A1:050070090062;|Type=weqatal 3 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=DEU_7:9!2|MId=o050070090021|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 4 יְהוָ֥ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 ccomp _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_7:9!3|MId=o050070090031|Strong=3068 5-6 אֱלֹהֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֱלֹהֶ֖י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_7:9!4|MId=o050070090041|Strong=0430 6 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_7:9!4|MId=o050070090042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7 ה֣וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=DEU_7:9!5|MId=o050070090051|Strong=1931|Type=personal 8-9 הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 הָֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=[is].(the)|Ref=DEU_7:9!6|MId=o050070090061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 parataxis _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_7:9!6|MId=o050070090062|Strong=0430 10-11 הָאֵל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_7:9!7|MId=o050070090071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 אֵל֙ אֵל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 parataxis _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_7:9!7|MId=o050070090072|Strong=0410 12-13 הַֽנֶּאֱמָ֔ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַֽ הַ SCONJ _ _ 13 mark _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_7:9!8|MId=o050070090081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 נֶּאֱמָ֔ן אָמַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing 11 acl:relcl _ Gloss=faithful|Ref=DEU_7:9!8|MId=o050070090082|Strong=0539|Frame=A0:050070090072;|Type=participle_active 14 שֹׁמֵ֧ר שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 11 appos _ Gloss=[who].keeps|Ref=DEU_7:9!9|MId=o050070090091|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:050070090031;A1:050070090102;050070090113;|Type=participle_active 15-16 הַבְּרִ֣ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_7:9!10|MId=o050070090101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 בְּרִ֣ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=covenant|Ref=DEU_7:9!10|MId=o050070090102|Strong=1285 17-19 וְהַחֶ֗סֶד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and.(the)|Ref=DEU_7:9!11|MId=o050070090111|Strong=2050b 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=covenant|Ref=DEU_7:9!11|MId=o050070090112|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 חֶ֗סֶד חֶסֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 conj _ Gloss=loyalty|Ref=DEU_7:9!11|MId=o050070090113|Strong=2617 20-22 לְאֹהֲבָ֛יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_7:9!12|MId=o050070090121|Strong=3807a 21 אֹהֲבָ֛י אָהֵב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 14 xcomp _ Gloss=[those|Ref=DEU_7:9!12|MId=o050070090122|Strong=0157|Frame=A1:050070090123;|Type=participle_active 22 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who].love.him|Ref=DEU_7:9!12|MId=o050070090123|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23-25 וּלְשֹׁמְרֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_7:9!13|MId=o050070090131|Strong=2050b 24 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_7:9!13|MId=o050070090132|Strong=3807a 25 שֹׁמְרֵ֥י שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 21 conj _ Gloss=[those.who].keep|Ref=DEU_7:9!13|MId=o050070090133|Strong=8104|Frame=A1:050070090151;|Type=participle_active 26-27 מִצְוֺתָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 מִצְוֺתָ֖י מִצְוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=commandments|Ref=DEU_7:9!15|MId=o050070090151|Strong=4687 27 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=(of).his|Ref=DEU_7:9!15|MId=o050070090152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28-29 לְאֶ֥לֶף _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_7:9!16|MId=o050070090161|Strong=3807a 29 אֶ֥לֶף אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Sing 30 nummod _ Gloss=a.thousand|Ref=DEU_7:9!16|MId=o050070090162|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 30 דּֽוֹר דּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 obl _ Gloss=generation[s]|Ref=DEU_7:9!17|MId=o050070090171|Strong=1755|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=DEU_7:9!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
