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 — day, ye — and what happens in the verse to land, generations, 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. וְהָיָה֩ הַיּ֨וֹם הַזֶּ֤ה לָכֶם֙ לְזִכָּר֔וֹן וְחַגֹּתֶ֥ם אֹת֖וֹ חַ֣ג לַֽיהוָ֑ה לְדֹרֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם חֻקַּ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם תְּחָגֻּֽהוּ׃ [And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD; throughout your generations ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.324/) ## 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:297 # text = וְהָיָה֩ הַיּ֨וֹם הַזֶּ֤ה לָכֶם֙ לְזִכָּר֔וֹן וְחַגֹּתֶ֥ם אֹת֖וֹ חַ֣ג לַֽיהוָ֑ה לְדֹרֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם חֻקַּ֥ת עוֹלָ֖ם תְּחָגֻּֽהוּ׃ # verse = EXO.12.14 1-2 וְהָיָה֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:14!1|MId=o020120140011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָה֩ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 cop _ Gloss=it.will.become|Ref=EXO_12:14!1|MId=o020120140012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020120140022;|Type=weqatal 3-4 הַיּ֨וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 4 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_12:14!2|MId=o020120140021|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 4 יּ֨וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nsubj _ Gloss=day|Ref=EXO_12:14!2|MId=o020120140022|Strong=3117 5-6 הַזֶּ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EXO_12:14!3|MId=o020120140031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 זֶּ֤ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 4 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=EXO_12:14!3|MId=o020120140032|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 7-8 לָכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 ל לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EXO_12:14!4|MId=o020120140041|Strong=3807a 8 ָכֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 10 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EXO_12:14!4|MId=o020120140042|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 9-10 לְזִכָּר֔וֹן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=EXO_12:14!5|MId=o020120140051|Strong=3807a 10 זִכָּר֔וֹן זִכָּרוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=memorial|Ref=EXO_12:14!5|MId=o020120140052|Strong=2146 11-12 וְחַגֹּתֶ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:14!6|MId=o020120140061|Strong=2050b 12 חַגֹּתֶ֥ם חָגַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 conj _ Gloss=you.will.celebrate.a.festival|Ref=EXO_12:14!6|MId=o020120140062|Strong=2287|Frame=A0:020120060131;A1:020120140072;|Type=weqatal 13-14 אֹת֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EXO_12:14!7|MId=o020120140071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 14 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EXO_12:14!7|MId=o020120140072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 15 חַ֣ג חַג NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 xcomp _ Gloss=a.festival|Ref=EXO_12:14!8|MId=o020120140081|Strong=2282 16-17 לַֽיהוָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_12:14!9|MId=o020120140091|Strong=3807a 17 יהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 12 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_12:14!9|MId=o020120140092|Strong=3068 18-20 לְדֹרֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_12:14!10|MId=o020120140101|Strong=3807a 19 דֹרֹ֣תֵי דּוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 obl _ Gloss=generations|Ref=EXO_12:14!10|MId=o020120140102|Strong=1755 20 כֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_12:14!10|MId=o020120140103|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 21 חֻקַּ֥ת חֻקָּה NOUN _ Number=Sing 23 xcomp _ Gloss=a.statute|Ref=EXO_12:14!11|MId=o020120140111|Strong=2708 22 עוֹלָ֖ם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=EXO_12:14!12|MId=o020120140121|Strong=5769 23-24 תְּחָגֻּֽהוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 תְּחָגֻּֽ חָגַג VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 10 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=EXO_12:14!13|MId=o020120140131|Strong=2287|Frame=A0:020120060131;A1:020120140132;|Type=yiqtol 24 הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obj _ Gloss=will.celebrate.it.as.a.festival|Ref=EXO_12:14!13|MId=o020120140132|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=EXO_12:14!13 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הָיָה *it will become* | weqatal · qal | יּוֹם *day* | | | | | חַגֹּתֶם *you will celebrate a festival* | weqatal · qal | | וֹ *it* | | | | תְּחָגֻּֽ *you* | yiqtol · qal | | הוּ *will celebrate it as a festival* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
