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, thou — and what happens in the verse to good land, thee, land, stiffnecked people, 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. וְיָדַעְתָּ֗ כִּ֠י לֹ֤א בְצִדְקָֽתְךָ֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֠לֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵ֨ן לְךָ֜ אֶת־הָאָ֧רֶץ הַטּוֹבָ֛ה הַזֹּ֖את לְרִשְׁתָּ֑הּ כִּ֥י עַם־קְשֵׁה־עֹ֖רֶף אָֽתָּה׃ [Know therefore that it is not for thy righteousness that the LORD thy God giveth thee this good land to possess it; for thou art a stiffnecked people.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/DEU.272/) ## 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:270 # text = וְיָדַעְתָּ֗ כִּ֠י לֹ֤א בְצִדְקָֽתְךָ֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱ֠לֹהֶיךָ נֹתֵ֨ן לְךָ֜ אֶת־הָאָ֧רֶץ הַטּוֹבָ֛ה הַזֹּ֖את לְרִשְׁתָּ֑הּ כִּ֥י עַם־קְשֵׁה־עֹ֖רֶף אָֽתָּה׃ # verse = DEU.9.6 1-2 וְיָדַעְתָּ֗ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=DEU_9:6!1|MId=o050090060011|Strong=2050b 2 יָדַעְתָּ֗ יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.know|Ref=DEU_9:6!1|MId=o050090060012|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:050090010021;A1:050090060071;|Type=weqatal 3 כִּ֠י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 11 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=DEU_9:6!2|MId=o050090060021|Strong=3588 4 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 11 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=DEU_9:6!3|MId=o050090060031|Strong=3808|Type=negative 5-7 בְצִדְקָֽתְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=DEU_9:6!4|MId=o050090060041|Strong=0871a 6 צִדְקָֽת צְדָקָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=righteousness|Ref=DEU_9:6!4|MId=o050090060042|Strong=6666 7 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_9:6!4|MId=o050090060043|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=DEU_9:6!5|MId=o050090060051|Strong=3068 9-10 אֱ֠לֹהֶיךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֱ֠לֹהֶי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=DEU_9:6!6|MId=o050090060061|Strong=0430 10 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=DEU_9:6!6|MId=o050090060062|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11 נֹתֵ֨ן נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].about.to.give|Ref=DEU_9:6!7|MId=o050090060071|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:050090060051;A1:050090060102;|Type=participle_active 12-13 לְךָ֜ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 ל לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_9:6!8|MId=o050090060081|Strong=3807a 13 ְךָ֜ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 11 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_9:6!8|MId=o050090060082|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=DEU_9:6!9|MId=o050090060091|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 הָאָ֧רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=DEU_9:6!10|MId=o050090060101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 אָ֧רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=land|Ref=DEU_9:6!10|MId=o050090060102|Strong=0776 17-18 הַטּוֹבָ֛ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_9:6!11|MId=o050090060111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 טּוֹבָ֛ה טוֹב ADJ _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 amod _ Gloss=good|Ref=DEU_9:6!11|MId=o050090060112|Strong=2896|Type=adjective 19-20 הַזֹּ֖את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 20 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=DEU_9:6!12|MId=o050090060121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 20 זֹּ֖את זֹאת DET _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 16 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=DEU_9:6!12|MId=o050090060122|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 21-23 לְרִשְׁתָּ֑הּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=DEU_9:6!13|MId=o050090060131|Strong=3807a 22 רִשְׁתּ יָרַשׁ VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 xcomp _ Gloss=take|Ref=DEU_9:6!13|MId=o050090060132|Strong=3423|Frame=A0:050090010021;A1:050090060133;|Type=infinitive_construct 23 ָ֑הּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=possession.of.it|Ref=DEU_9:6!13|MId=o050090060133|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 24 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 25 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=DEU_9:6!14|MId=o050090060141|Strong=3588 25 עַם־ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 advcl _ Gloss=[are].a.people|Ref=DEU_9:6!15|MId=o050090060151|Strong=5971|SpaceAfter=No 26 קְשֵׁה־ קָשֶׁה ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 amod _ Gloss=stiff|Ref=DEU_9:6!16|MId=o050090060161|Strong=7186|Type=adjective|SpaceAfter=No 27 עֹ֖רֶף עֹרֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.neck|Ref=DEU_9:6!17|MId=o050090060171|Strong=6203 28 אָֽתָּה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 25 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=DEU_9:6!18|MId=o050090060181|Strong=0859|Type=personal|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=DEU_9:6!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יָדַעְתָּ *you will know* | weqatal · qal | | נֹתֵן *\[is\] about to give* | | | | **not** נֹתֵן *\[is\] about to give* | participle active · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | אָרֶץ *land* | | | | רִשְׁתּ *take* | infinitive construct · qal | | ָהּ *possession of it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
