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 — Moses — and what happens in the verse to lambs, you, passover lamb, 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. וַיִּקְרָ֥א מֹשֶׁ֛ה לְכָל־זִקְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֑ם מִֽשְׁכ֗וּ וּקְח֨וּ לָכֶ֥ם צֹ֛אן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתֵיכֶ֖ם וְשַׁחֲט֥וּ הַפָּֽסַח׃ [Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them: 'Draw out, and take you lambs according to your families, and kill the passover lamb.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.331/) ## 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:304 # text = וַיִּקְרָ֥א מֹשֶׁ֛ה לְכָל־זִקְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל וַיֹּ֣אמֶר אֲלֵהֶ֑ם מִֽשְׁכ֗וּ וּקְח֨וּ לָכֶ֥ם צֹ֛אן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתֵיכֶ֖ם וְשַׁחֲט֥וּ הַפָּֽסַח׃ # verse = EXO.12.21 1-2 וַיִּקְרָ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:21!1|MId=o020120210011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקְרָ֥א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.summoned|Ref=EXO_12:21!1|MId=o020120210012|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:020120210021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מֹשֶׁ֛ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=EXO_12:21!2|MId=o020120210021|Strong=4872 4-5 לְכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EXO_12:21!3|MId=o020120210031|Strong=3807a 5 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=EXO_12:21!3|MId=o020120210032|Strong=3605 6 זִקְנֵ֥י זָקֵן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.elders|Ref=EXO_12:21!4|MId=o020120210041|Strong=2205|Type=adjective 7 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EXO_12:21!5|MId=o020120210051|Strong=3478 8-9 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:21!6|MId=o020120210061|Strong=2050b 9 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=EXO_12:21!6|MId=o020120210062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:020120210021;|Type=wayyiqtol 10-11 אֲלֵהֶ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 אֲל אֶל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_12:21!7|MId=o020120210071|Strong=0413 11 ֵהֶ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EXO_12:21!7|MId=o020120210072|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 12 מִֽשְׁכ֗וּ מָשַׁךְ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 9 ccomp _ Gloss=draw|Ref=EXO_12:21!8|MId=o020120210081|Strong=4900|Frame=A0:020120210041;020120210051;|Type=imperative 13-14 וּקְח֨וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:21!9|MId=o020120210091|Strong=2050b 14 קְח֨וּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 12 conj _ Gloss=take|Ref=EXO_12:21!9|MId=o020120210092|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:020120210041;020120210051;A1:020120210111;|Type=imperative 15-16 לָכֶ֥ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 ל לְ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EXO_12:21!10|MId=o020120210101|Strong=3807a 16 ָכֶ֥ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=yourselves|Ref=EXO_12:21!10|MId=o020120210102|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 17 צֹ֛אן צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 obj _ Gloss=sheep|Ref=EXO_12:21!11|MId=o020120210111|Strong=6629 18-20 לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתֵיכֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_12:21!12|MId=o020120210121|Strong=3807a 19 מִשְׁפְּחֹתֵי מִשְׁפָּחָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 14 obl _ Gloss=clans|Ref=EXO_12:21!12|MId=o020120210122|Strong=4940 20 כֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_12:21!12|MId=o020120210123|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 21-22 וְשַׁחֲט֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:21!13|MId=o020120210131|Strong=2050b 22 שַׁחֲט֥וּ שָׁחַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 12 conj _ Gloss=slaughter|Ref=EXO_12:21!13|MId=o020120210132|Strong=7819|Frame=A0:020120210041;020120210051;A1:020120210142;|Type=imperative 23-24 הַפָּֽסַח _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_12:21!14|MId=o020120210141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 פָּֽסַח פֶּסַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obj _ Gloss=passover|Ref=EXO_12:21!14|MId=o020120210142|Strong=6453 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=EXO_12:21!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּקְרָא *he summoned* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | | | | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | | | | | מִֽשְׁכוּ *draw* | imperative · qal | זִקְנֵי *the elders* + יִשְׂרָאֵל *of Israel* | | | | | קְחוּ *take* | imperative · qal | זִקְנֵי *the elders* + יִשְׂרָאֵל *of Israel* | צֹאן *sheep* | | | | שַׁחֲטוּ *slaughter* | imperative · qal | זִקְנֵי *the elders* + יִשְׂרָאֵל *of Israel* | פָּֽסַח *passover* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
