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, I, people — and what happens in the verse to Me, people, name, heaven, nation, 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. הֶ֤רֶף מִמֶּ֙נִּי֙ וְאַשְׁמִידֵ֔ם וְאֶמְחֶ֣ה אֶת־שְׁמָ֔ם מִתַּ֖חַת הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה֙ אֽוֹתְךָ֔ לְגוֹי־עָצ֥וּם וָרָ֖ב מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ [let Me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.280/) ## 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:278 # text = הֶ֤רֶף מִמֶּ֙נִּי֙ וְאַשְׁמִידֵ֔ם וְאֶמְחֶ֣ה אֶת־שְׁמָ֔ם מִתַּ֖חַת הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה֙ אֽוֹתְךָ֔ לְגוֹי־עָצ֥וּם וָרָ֖ב מִמֶּֽנּוּ׃ # verse = DEU.9.14 1 הֶ֤רֶף רָפָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=refrain|Ref=DEU_9:14!1|MId=o050090140011|Strong=7503|Frame=A0:050050010021;|Type=imperative 2-3 מִמֶּ֙נִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_9:14!2|MId=o050090140021|Strong=4480 3 ֶ֙נִּי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 1 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=DEU_9:14!2|MId=o050090140022|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 4-6 וְאַשְׁמִידֵ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 5 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=DEU_9:14!3|MId=o050090140031|Strong=2050b 5 אַשְׁמִיד שָׁמַד VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 conj _ Gloss=that|Ref=DEU_9:14!3|MId=o050090140032|Strong=8045|Frame=AA:050090130021;A0:050090140033;|Type=cohortative 6 ֵ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 obj _ Gloss=I.may.destroy.them|Ref=DEU_9:14!3|MId=o050090140033|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 7-8 וְאֶמְחֶ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_9:14!4|MId=o050090140041|Strong=2050b 8 אֶמְחֶ֣ה מָחָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 conj _ Gloss=so.that.I.may.wipe.out|Ref=DEU_9:14!4|MId=o050090140042|Strong=4229|Frame=A0:050090130021;A1:050090140061;|Type=cohortative 9 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_9:14!5|MId=o050090140051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 10-11 שְׁמָ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=DEU_9:14!6|MId=o050090140061|Strong=8034 11 ָ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=DEU_9:14!6|MId=o050090140062|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12-13 מִתַּ֖חַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=DEU_9:14!7|MId=o050090140071|Strong=4480 13 תַּ֖חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 8 obl _ Gloss=under|Ref=DEU_9:14!7|MId=o050090140072|Strong=8478 14-15 הַשָּׁמָ֑יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_9:14!8|MId=o050090140081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 שָּׁמָ֑יִם שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=DEU_9:14!8|MId=o050090140082|Strong=8064 16-17 וְאֶֽעֱשֶׂה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_9:14!9|MId=o050090140091|Strong=2050b 17 אֶֽעֱשֶׂה֙ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 1 conj _ Gloss=I.will.make|Ref=DEU_9:14!9|MId=o050090140092|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:050090130021;A1:050090140102;|Type=yiqtol 18-19 אֽוֹתְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 אֽוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=|Ref=DEU_9:14!10|MId=o050090140101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 19 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 17 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_9:14!10|MId=o050090140102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20-21 לְגוֹי־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=DEU_9:14!11|MId=o050090140111|Strong=3807a 21 גוֹי־ גּוֹי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=a.nation|Ref=DEU_9:14!11|MId=o050090140112|Strong=1471 22 עָצ֥וּם עָצוּם ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 amod _ Gloss=mighty|Ref=DEU_9:14!12|MId=o050090140121|Strong=6099|Type=adjective 23-24 וָרָ֖ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_9:14!13|MId=o050090140131|Strong=2050b 24 רָ֖ב רַב ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 amod _ Gloss=great|Ref=DEU_9:14!13|MId=o050090140132|Strong=7227|Type=adjective 25-26 מִמֶּֽנּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מִמּ מִן ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=more|Ref=DEU_9:14!14|MId=o050090140141|Strong=4480 26 ֶֽנּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod _ Gloss=than.it|Ref=DEU_9:14!14|MId=o050090140142|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=DEU_9:14!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הֶרֶף *refrain* | imperative · hiphil | | | | | | אַשְׁמִיד *that* | cohortative · hiphil | ֵם *I may destroy them* | | | | | אֶמְחֶה *so that I may wipe out* | cohortative · qal | | שְׁמ *name* | | | | אֶֽעֱשֶׂה *I will make* | yiqtol · qal | | ְךָ *you* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
