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 — first born, Pharaoh, maid servant — and what happens in the verse to first born, throne, mill, 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. וּמֵ֣ת כָּל־בְּכוֹר֮ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַיִם֒ מִבְּכ֤וֹר פַּרְעֹה֙ הַיֹּשֵׁ֣ב עַל־כִּסְא֔וֹ עַ֚ד בְּכ֣וֹר הַשִּׁפְחָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר אַחַ֣ר הָרֵחָ֑יִם וְכֹ֖ל בְּכ֥וֹר בְּהֵמָֽה׃ [and all the first-born in the land of Egypt shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the first-born of the maid-servant that is behind the mill; and all the first-born of cattle.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.305/) ## 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:278 # text = וּמֵ֣ת כָּל־בְּכוֹר֮ בְּאֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרַיִם֒ מִבְּכ֤וֹר פַּרְעֹה֙ הַיֹּשֵׁ֣ב עַל־כִּסְא֔וֹ עַ֚ד בְּכ֣וֹר הַשִּׁפְחָ֔ה אֲשֶׁ֖ר אַחַ֣ר הָרֵחָ֑יִם וְכֹ֖ל בְּכ֥וֹר בְּהֵמָֽה׃ # verse = EXO.11.5 1-2 וּמֵ֣ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_11:5!1|MId=o020110050011|Strong=2050b 2 מֵ֣ת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.die|Ref=EXO_11:5!1|MId=o020110050012|Strong=4191|Frame=A0:020110050031;|Type=weqatal 3 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=every|Ref=EXO_11:5!2|MId=o020110050021|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 4 בְּכוֹר֮ בְּכֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=firstborn|Ref=EXO_11:5!3|MId=o020110050031|Strong=1060 5-6 בְּאֶ֣רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EXO_11:5!4|MId=o020110050041|Strong=0871a 6 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=EXO_11:5!4|MId=o020110050042|Strong=0776 7 מִצְרַיִם֒ מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=EXO_11:5!5|MId=o020110050051|Strong=4714 8-9 מִבְּכ֤וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EXO_11:5!6|MId=o020110050061|Strong=4480 9 בְּכ֤וֹר בְּכֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=the.firstborn|Ref=EXO_11:5!6|MId=o020110050062|Strong=1060 10 פַּרְעֹה֙ פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Pharaoh|Ref=EXO_11:5!7|MId=o020110050071|Strong=6547 11-12 הַיֹּשֵׁ֣ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=[who]|Ref=EXO_11:5!8|MId=o020110050081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 יֹּשֵׁ֣ב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 10 appos _ Gloss=sits|Ref=EXO_11:5!8|MId=o020110050082|Strong=3427|Frame=A0:020110050071;|Type=participle_active 13 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_11:5!9|MId=o020110050091|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 14-15 כִּסְא֔וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 כִּסְא כִּסֵּא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=throne|Ref=EXO_11:5!10|MId=o020110050101|Strong=3678 15 ֔וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EXO_11:5!10|MId=o020110050102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16 עַ֚ד עַד ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=unto|Ref=EXO_11:5!11|MId=o020110050111|Strong=5704 17 בְּכ֣וֹר בְּכֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 conj _ Gloss=the.firstborn|Ref=EXO_11:5!12|MId=o020110050121|Strong=1060 18-19 הַשִּׁפְחָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 19 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_11:5!13|MId=o020110050131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 19 שִּׁפְחָ֔ה שִׁפְחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.maidservant|Ref=EXO_11:5!13|MId=o020110050132|Strong=8198 20 אֲשֶׁ֖ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=EXO_11:5!14|MId=o020110050141|Strong=0834|Type=relative 21 אַחַ֣ר אַחַר ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=[is].behind|Ref=EXO_11:5!15|MId=o020110050151|Strong=0310 22-23 הָרֵחָ֑יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_11:5!16|MId=o020110050161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 רֵחָ֑יִם רֵחַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 19 acl:relcl _ Gloss=hand-mill|Ref=EXO_11:5!16|MId=o020110050162|Strong=7347 24-25 וְכֹ֖ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_11:5!17|MId=o020110050171|Strong=2050b 25 כֹ֖ל כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 conj _ Gloss=every|Ref=EXO_11:5!17|MId=o020110050172|Strong=3605 26 בְּכ֥וֹר בְּכֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=firstborn|Ref=EXO_11:5!18|MId=o020110050181|Strong=1060 27 בְּהֵמָֽה בְּהֵמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 26 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.livestock|Ref=EXO_11:5!19|MId=o020110050191|Strong=0929|SpaceAfter=No 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=EXO_11:5!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | מֵת *he will die* | weqatal · qal | בְּכוֹר *firstborn* | | | | | יֹּשֵׁב *sits* | participle active · qal | פַּרְעֹה *of Pharaoh* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
