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, thou, I, LORD — and what happens in the verse to LORD, commandments, statutes, 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. הִשָּׁ֣מֶר לְךָ֔ פֶּן־תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ לְבִלְתִּ֨י שְׁמֹ֤ר מִצְוֺתָיו֙ וּמִשְׁפָּטָ֣יו וְחֻקֹּתָ֔יו אֲשֶׁ֛ר אָנֹכִ֥י מְצַוְּךָ֖ הַיּֽוֹם׃ [Beware lest thou forget the LORD thy God, in not keeping His commandments, and His ordinances, and His statutes, which I command thee this day;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.257/) ## 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:255 # text = הִשָּׁ֣מֶר לְךָ֔ פֶּן־תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ לְבִלְתִּ֨י שְׁמֹ֤ר מִצְוֺתָיו֙ וּמִשְׁפָּטָ֣יו וְחֻקֹּתָ֔יו אֲשֶׁ֛ר אָנֹכִ֥י מְצַוְּךָ֖ הַיּֽוֹם׃ # verse = DEU.8.11 1 הִשָּׁ֣מֶר שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=take.heed|Ref=DEU_8:11!1|MId=o050080110011|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:050060040021;|Type=imperative 2-3 לְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 ל לְ ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_8:11!2|MId=o050080110021|Strong=3807a 3 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 1 obl _ Gloss=yourself|Ref=DEU_8:11!2|MId=o050080110022|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 4 פֶּן־ פֶּן SCONJ _ _ 5 mark _ Gloss=lest|Ref=DEU_8:11!3|MId=o050080110031|Strong=6435|SpaceAfter=No 5 תִּשְׁכַּ֖ח שָׁכַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 advcl _ Gloss=you.should.forget|Ref=DEU_8:11!4|MId=o050080110041|Strong=7911|Frame=A0:050060040021;A1:050080110061;|Type=yiqtol 6 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_8:11!5|MId=o050080110051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 7 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 5 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_8:11!6|MId=o050080110061|Strong=3068 8-9 אֱלֹהֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 אֱלֹהֶ֑י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_8:11!7|MId=o050080110071|Strong=0430 9 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_8:11!7|MId=o050080110072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10-11 לְבִלְתִּ֨י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_8:11!8|MId=o050080110081|Strong=3807a 11 בִלְתִּ֨י בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 12 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_8:11!8|MId=o050080110082|Strong=1115 12 שְׁמֹ֤ר שָׁמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 advcl _ Gloss=to.keep|Ref=DEU_8:11!9|MId=o050080110091|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:050060040021;A1:050080110101;050080110112;050080110122;|Type=infinitive_construct 13-14 מִצְוֺתָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 מִצְוֺתָי מִצְוָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 12 obj _ Gloss=commandments|Ref=DEU_8:11!10|MId=o050080110101|Strong=4687 14 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_8:11!10|MId=o050080110102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15-17 וּמִשְׁפָּטָ֣יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_8:11!11|MId=o050080110111|Strong=2050b 16 מִשְׁפָּטָ֣י מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 conj _ Gloss=judgments|Ref=DEU_8:11!11|MId=o050080110112|Strong=4941 17 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_8:11!11|MId=o050080110113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18-20 וְחֻקֹּתָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_8:11!12|MId=o050080110121|Strong=2050b 19 חֻקֹּתָ֔י חֻקָּה NOUN _ Number=Plur 13 conj _ Gloss=statutes|Ref=DEU_8:11!12|MId=o050080110122|Strong=2708 20 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=DEU_8:11!12|MId=o050080110123|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 21 אֲשֶׁ֛ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_8:11!13|MId=o050080110131|Strong=0834|Type=relative 22 אָנֹכִ֥י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=DEU_8:11!14|MId=o050080110141|Strong=0595|Type=personal 23-24 מְצַוְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 מְצַוּ צָוָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing 13 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[am].commanding|Ref=DEU_8:11!15|MId=o050080110151|Strong=6680|Frame=A0:050080110141;A2:050080110152;A1:050080110101;050080110112;050080110122;|Type=participle_active 24 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_8:11!15|MId=o050080110152|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25-26 הַיּֽוֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 26 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_8:11!16|MId=o050080110161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 26 יּֽוֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=DEU_8:11!16|MId=o050080110162|Strong=3117 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=DEU_8:11!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִשָּׁמֶר *take heed* | imperative · niphal | | | | | | תִּשְׁכַּח *you should forget* | yiqtol · qal | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | שְׁמֹר *to keep* | infinitive construct · qal | | מִצְוֺתָי *commandments* + מִשְׁפָּטָי *judgments* + חֻקֹּתָי *statutes* | | | | מְצַוּ *\[am\] commanding* | participle active · piel | אָנֹכִי *I* | מִצְוֺתָי *commandments* + מִשְׁפָּטָי *judgments* + חֻקֹּתָי *statutes* | ְךָ *you* | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
