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 — ye, thing, LORD, people — and what happens in the verse to sacrifice, houses, Egypt, Egyptians, head, 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. וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֡ם זֶֽבַח־פֶּ֨סַח ה֜וּא לַֽיהוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר פָּ֠סַח עַל־בָּתֵּ֤י בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם בְּנָגְפּ֥וֹ אֶת־מִצְרַ֖יִם וְאֶת־בָּתֵּ֣ינוּ הִצִּ֑יל וַיִּקֹּ֥ד הָעָ֖ם וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּֽוּ׃ [that ye shall say: It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, for that He passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses.' And the people bowed the head and worshipped.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.337/) ## 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:310 # text = וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֡ם זֶֽבַח־פֶּ֨סַח ה֜וּא לַֽיהוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁ֣ר פָּ֠סַח עַל־בָּתֵּ֤י בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם בְּנָגְפּ֥וֹ אֶת־מִצְרַ֖יִם וְאֶת־בָּתֵּ֣ינוּ הִצִּ֑יל וַיִּקֹּ֥ד הָעָ֖ם וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּֽוּ׃ # verse = EXO.12.27 1-2 וַאֲמַרְתֶּ֡ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:27!1|MId=o020120270011|Strong=2050b 2 אֲמַרְתֶּ֡ם אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.say|Ref=EXO_12:27!1|MId=o020120270012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:020120210041;020120210051;|Type=weqatal 3 זֶֽבַח־ זֶבַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].a.sacrifice|Ref=EXO_12:27!2|MId=o020120270021|Strong=2077|SpaceAfter=No 4 פֶּ֨סַח פֶּסַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.passover|Ref=EXO_12:27!3|MId=o020120270031|Strong=6453 5 ה֜וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EXO_12:27!4|MId=o020120270041|Strong=1931|Type=personal 6-7 לַֽיהוָ֗ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_12:27!5|MId=o020120270051|Strong=3807a 7 יהוָ֗ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_12:27!5|MId=o020120270052|Strong=3068 8 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=EXO_12:27!6|MId=o020120270061|Strong=0834|Type=relative 9 פָּ֠סַח פָּסַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 7 acl:relcl _ Gloss=he.passed.over|Ref=EXO_12:27!7|MId=o020120270071|Strong=6452|Frame=A0:020120270052;|Type=qatal 10 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=EXO_12:27!8|MId=o020120270081|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 11 בָּתֵּ֤י בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=the.houses|Ref=EXO_12:27!9|MId=o020120270091|Strong=1004 12 בְנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.people|Ref=EXO_12:27!10|MId=o020120270101|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 13 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EXO_12:27!11|MId=o020120270111|Strong=3478 14-15 בְּמִצְרַ֔יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EXO_12:27!12|MId=o020120270121|Strong=0871a 15 מִצְרַ֔יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=EXO_12:27!12|MId=o020120270122|Strong=4714 16-18 בְּנָגְפּ֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=EXO_12:27!13|MId=o020120270131|Strong=0871a 17 נָגְפּ נָגַף VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 advcl _ Gloss=struck|Ref=EXO_12:27!13|MId=o020120270132|Strong=5062|Frame=A0:020120270133;A1:020120270151;|Type=infinitive_construct 18 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_12:27!13|MId=o020120270133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_12:27!14|MId=o020120270141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20 מִצְרַ֖יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 17 obj _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=EXO_12:27!15|MId=o020120270151|Strong=4714 21-22 וְאֶת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:27!16|MId=o020120270161|Strong=2050b 22 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_12:27!16|MId=o020120270162|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 23-24 בָּתֵּ֣ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 בָּתֵּ֣י בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 25 obj _ Gloss=houses|Ref=EXO_12:27!17|MId=o020120270171|Strong=1004 24 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=EXO_12:27!17|MId=o020120270172|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 25 הִצִּ֑יל נָצַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=he.delivered|Ref=EXO_12:27!18|MId=o020120270181|Strong=5337|Frame=AA:020120270052;A0:020120270171;|Type=qatal 26-27 וַיִּקֹּ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:27!19|MId=o020120270191|Strong=2050b 27 יִּקֹּ֥ד קָדַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=it.bowed.low|Ref=EXO_12:27!19|MId=o020120270192|Strong=6915|Frame=A0:020120270202;|Type=wayyiqtol 28-29 הָעָ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 29 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_12:27!20|MId=o020120270201|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 29 עָ֖ם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=EXO_12:27!20|MId=o020120270202|Strong=5971 30-31 וַיִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּֽוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 31 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:27!21|MId=o020120270211|Strong=2050b 31 יִּֽשְׁתַּחֲוּֽוּ חוה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HITHPAEL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.bowed.down|Ref=EXO_12:27!21|MId=o020120270212|Strong=7812a|Frame=A0:020120270202;|Type=wayyiqtol 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EXO_12:27!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
