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 — servants, man, men, thou — and what happens in the verse to snare, men, LORD, Egypt, 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 40 chapters of Exodus on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between. וַיֹּאמְרוּ֩ עַבְדֵ֨י פַרְעֹ֜ה אֵלָ֗יו עַד־מָתַי֙ יִהְיֶ֨ה זֶ֥ה לָ֙נוּ֙ לְמוֹקֵ֔שׁ שַׁלַּח֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים וְיַֽעַבְד֖וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם הֲטֶ֣רֶם תֵּדַ֔ע כִּ֥י אָבְדָ֖ה מִצְרָֽיִם׃ [And Pharaoh's servants said unto him: 'How long shall this man be a snare unto us? let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God, knowest thou not yet that Egypt is destroyed?'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.277/) ## 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:EXO:251 # text = וַיֹּאמְרוּ֩ עַבְדֵ֨י פַרְעֹ֜ה אֵלָ֗יו עַד־מָתַי֙ יִהְיֶ֨ה זֶ֥ה לָ֙נוּ֙ לְמוֹקֵ֔שׁ שַׁלַּח֙ אֶת־הָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים וְיַֽעַבְד֖וּ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם הֲטֶ֣רֶם תֵּדַ֔ע כִּ֥י אָבְדָ֖ה מִצְרָֽיִם׃ # verse = EXO.10.7 1-2 וַיֹּאמְרוּ֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_10:7!1|MId=o020100070011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּאמְרוּ֩ אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.said|Ref=EXO_10:7!1|MId=o020100070012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:020100070021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 עַבְדֵ֨י עֶבֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.servants|Ref=EXO_10:7!2|MId=o020100070021|Strong=5650 4 פַרְעֹ֜ה פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Pharaoh|Ref=EXO_10:7!3|MId=o020100070031|Strong=6547 5-6 אֵלָ֗יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֵלָ֗י אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_10:7!4|MId=o020100070041|Strong=0413 6 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=EXO_10:7!4|MId=o020100070042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7 עַד־ עַד ADP _ _ 14 obl _ Gloss=until|Ref=EXO_10:7!5|MId=o020100070051|Strong=5704|SpaceAfter=No 8 מָתַי֙ מָתַי PART _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=when?|Ref=EXO_10:7!6|MId=o020100070061|Strong=4970|Type=interrogative 9 יִהְיֶ֨ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 cop _ Gloss=will.he.become|Ref=EXO_10:7!7|MId=o020100070071|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020100070081;|Type=yiqtol 10 זֶ֥ה זֶה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 14 nsubj _ Gloss=this.[man]|Ref=EXO_10:7!8|MId=o020100070081|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 11-12 לָ֙נוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 ל לְ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EXO_10:7!9|MId=o020100070091|Strong=3807a 12 ָ֙נוּ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=us|Ref=EXO_10:7!9|MId=o020100070092|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 13-14 לְמוֹקֵ֔שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=EXO_10:7!10|MId=o020100070101|Strong=3807a 14 מוֹקֵ֔שׁ מוֹקֵשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=snare|Ref=EXO_10:7!10|MId=o020100070102|Strong=4170 15 שַׁלַּח֙ שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=2 14 parataxis _ Gloss=let.go|Ref=EXO_10:7!11|MId=o020100070111|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:020100070031;A1:020100070132;|Type=imperative 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_10:7!12|MId=o020100070121|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 הָ֣אֲנָשִׁ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הָ֣ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_10:7!13|MId=o020100070131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 אֲנָשִׁ֔ים אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obj _ Gloss=people|Ref=EXO_10:7!13|MId=o020100070132|Strong=0376 19-20 וְיַֽעַבְד֖וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=EXO_10:7!14|MId=o020100070141|Strong=2050b 20 יַֽעַבְד֖וּ עָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 15 conj _ Gloss=that.they.may.serve|Ref=EXO_10:7!14|MId=o020100070142|Strong=5647|Frame=A0:020100070132;A1:020100070161;|Type=yiqtol 21 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_10:7!15|MId=o020100070151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 22 יְהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 20 obj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_10:7!16|MId=o020100070161|Strong=3068 23-24 אֱלֹהֵיהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֱלֹהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 22 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=EXO_10:7!17|MId=o020100070171|Strong=0430 24 הֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EXO_10:7!17|MId=o020100070172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 25-26 הֲטֶ֣רֶם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 הֲ הֲ PART _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EXO_10:7!18|MId=o020100070181|Strong=1886b|Type=definite_article 26 טֶ֣רֶם טֶרֶם ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=yet?|Ref=EXO_10:7!18|MId=o020100070182|Strong=2962 27 תֵּדַ֔ע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 14 parataxis _ Gloss=do.you.know|Ref=EXO_10:7!19|MId=o020100070191|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:020100070031;A1:020100070211;|Type=yiqtol 28 כִּ֥י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 29 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=EXO_10:7!20|MId=o020100070201|Strong=3588 29 אָבְדָ֖ה אָבַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 27 ccomp _ Gloss=it.will.perish|Ref=EXO_10:7!21|MId=o020100070211|Strong=0006|Frame=A0:020100070221;|Type=qatal 30 מִצְרָֽיִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 29 nsubj _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=EXO_10:7!22|MId=o020100070221|Strong=4714|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=EXO_10:7!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
