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, stones — and what happens in the verse to bread, land, iron, brass, hills, 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. אֶ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹ֤א בְמִסְכֵּנֻת֙ תֹּֽאכַל־בָּ֣הּ לֶ֔חֶם לֹֽא־תֶחְסַ֥ר כֹּ֖ל בָּ֑הּ אֶ֚רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲבָנֶ֣יהָ בַרְזֶ֔ל וּמֵהֲרָרֶ֖יהָ תַּחְצֹ֥ב נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃ [a land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.255/) ## 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:253 # text = אֶ֗רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֨ר לֹ֤א בְמִסְכֵּנֻת֙ תֹּֽאכַל־בָּ֣הּ לֶ֔חֶם לֹֽא־תֶחְסַ֥ר כֹּ֖ל בָּ֑הּ אֶ֚רֶץ אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲבָנֶ֣יהָ בַרְזֶ֔ל וּמֵהֲרָרֶ֖יהָ תַּחְצֹ֥ב נְחֹֽשֶׁת׃ # verse = DEU.8.9 1 אֶ֗רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=a.land|Ref=DEU_8:9!1|MId=o050080090011|Strong=0776 2 אֲשֶׁ֨ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_8:9!2|MId=o050080090021|Strong=0834|Type=relative 3 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_8:9!3|MId=o050080090031|Strong=3808|Type=negative 4-5 בְמִסְכֵּנֻת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_8:9!4|MId=o050080090041|Strong=0871a 5 מִסְכֵּנֻת֙ מִסְכֵּנֻת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=scarcity|Ref=DEU_8:9!4|MId=o050080090042|Strong=4544 6 תֹּֽאכַל־ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 1 acl:relcl _ Gloss=you.will.eat|Ref=DEU_8:9!5|MId=o050080090051|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:050060040021;A1:050080090071;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 בָּ֣הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_8:9!6|MId=o050080090061|Strong=0871a 8 ָ֣הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=DEU_8:9!6|MId=o050080090062|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 9 לֶ֔חֶם לֶחֶם NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=food|Ref=DEU_8:9!7|MId=o050080090071|Strong=3899 10 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_8:9!8|MId=o050080090081|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 11 תֶחְסַ֥ר חָסֵר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 6 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.lack|Ref=DEU_8:9!9|MId=o050080090091|Strong=2637|Frame=A0:050060040021;A1:050080090101;|Type=yiqtol 12 כֹּ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=anything|Ref=DEU_8:9!10|MId=o050080090101|Strong=3605 13-14 בָּ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_8:9!11|MId=o050080090111|Strong=0871a 14 ָ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=DEU_8:9!11|MId=o050080090112|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 15 אֶ֚רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 1 parataxis _ Gloss=a.land|Ref=DEU_8:9!12|MId=o050080090121|Strong=0776 16 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=DEU_8:9!13|MId=o050080090131|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17-18 אֲבָנֶ֣יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 אֲבָנֶ֣י אֶבֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 19 nsubj _ Gloss=stones|Ref=DEU_8:9!14|MId=o050080090141|Strong=0068 18 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=DEU_8:9!14|MId=o050080090142|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 19 בַרְזֶ֔ל בַּרְזֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[are].iron|Ref=DEU_8:9!15|MId=o050080090151|Strong=1270 20-23 וּמֵהֲרָרֶ֖יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_8:9!16|MId=o050080090161|Strong=2050b 21 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_8:9!16|MId=o050080090162|Strong=4480 22 הֲרָרֶ֖י הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 24 obl _ Gloss=hills|Ref=DEU_8:9!16|MId=o050080090163|Strong=2022 23 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=DEU_8:9!16|MId=o050080090164|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 24 תַּחְצֹ֥ב חָצַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 19 conj _ Gloss=you.will.dig|Ref=DEU_8:9!17|MId=o050080090171|Strong=2672|Frame=A0:050060040021;A1:050080090181;|Type=yiqtol 25 נְחֹֽשֶׁת נְחֹשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 24 obj _ Gloss=copper|Ref=DEU_8:9!18|MId=o050080090181|Strong=5178|SpaceAfter=No 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=DEU_8:9!18 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** תֹּֽאכַל־ *you will eat* | yiqtol · qal | | לֶחֶם *food* | | | | **not** תֶחְסַר *you will lack* | yiqtol · qal | | כֹּל *anything* | | | | תַּחְצֹב *you will dig* | yiqtol · qal | | נְחֹֽשֶׁת *copper* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
