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, Moses — and what happens in the verse to man, them, 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. דַּבְּר֗וּ אֶֽל־כָּל־עֲדַ֤ת יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר בֶּעָשֹׂ֖ר לַחֹ֣דֶשׁ הַזֶּ֑ה וְיִקְח֣וּ לָהֶ֗ם אִ֛ישׁ שֶׂ֥ה לְבֵית־אָבֹ֖ת שֶׂ֥ה לַבָּֽיִת׃ [Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying: In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to their fathers' houses, a lamb for a household;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.313/) ## 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:286 # text = דַּבְּר֗וּ אֶֽל־כָּל־עֲדַ֤ת יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר בֶּעָשֹׂ֖ר לַחֹ֣דֶשׁ הַזֶּ֑ה וְיִקְח֣וּ לָהֶ֗ם אִ֛ישׁ שֶׂ֥ה לְבֵית־אָבֹ֖ת שֶׂ֥ה לַבָּֽיִת׃ # verse = EXO.12.3 1 דַּבְּר֗וּ דָבַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Plur|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=speak|Ref=EXO_12:3!1|MId=o020120030011|Strong=1696|Frame=A0:020120010041;020120010061;|Type=imperative 2 אֶֽל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 3 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_12:3!2|MId=o020120030021|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 3 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 1 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=EXO_12:3!3|MId=o020120030031|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 4 עֲדַ֤ת עֵדָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.congregation|Ref=EXO_12:3!4|MId=o020120030041|Strong=5712 5 יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EXO_12:3!5|MId=o020120030051|Strong=3478 6-7 לֵאמֹ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לֵ לְ ADP _ ExtPos=SCONJ 25 mark _ Gloss=(cmp)|Ref=EXO_12:3!6|MId=o020120030061|Strong=3807a 7 אמֹ֔ר אָמַר VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 fixed _ Gloss=|Ref=EXO_12:3!6|MId=o020120030062|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:020120010041;020120010061;|Type=infinitive_construct 8-10 בֶּעָשֹׂ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בֶּ בְּ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_12:3!7|MId=o020120030071|Strong=0871a 9 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 10 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_12:3!7|MId=o020120030071ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 10 עָשֹׂ֖ר עָשׂוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 dislocated _ Gloss=ten|Ref=EXO_12:3!7|MId=o020120030072|Strong=6218 11-13 לַחֹ֣דֶשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_12:3!8|MId=o020120030081|Strong=3807a 12 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_12:3!8|MId=o020120030081ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 חֹ֣דֶשׁ חֹדֶשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 nmod _ Gloss=month|Ref=EXO_12:3!8|MId=o020120030082|Strong=2320 14-15 הַזֶּ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 15 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EXO_12:3!9|MId=o020120030091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 זֶּ֑ה זֶה DET _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 13 det _ Gloss=this|Ref=EXO_12:3!9|MId=o020120030092|Strong=2088|Type=demonstrative 16-17 וְיִקְח֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_12:3!10|MId=o020120030101|Strong=2050b 17 יִקְח֣וּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 25 parataxis _ Gloss=they.will.take|Ref=EXO_12:3!10|MId=o020120030102|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:020120030041;A1:020120030131;|Type=yiqtol 18-19 לָהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 ל לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EXO_12:3!11|MId=o020120030111|Strong=3807a 19 ָהֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=themselves|Ref=EXO_12:3!11|MId=o020120030112|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20 אִ֛ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=everyone|Ref=EXO_12:3!12|MId=o020120030121|Strong=0376 21 שֶׂ֥ה שֶׂה NOUN _ Number=Sing 17 obj _ Gloss=a.lamb|Ref=EXO_12:3!13|MId=o020120030131|Strong=7716 22-23 לְבֵית־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EXO_12:3!14|MId=o020120030141|Strong=3807a 23 בֵית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=a.household|Ref=EXO_12:3!14|MId=o020120030142|Strong=1004 24 אָבֹ֖ת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 23 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.fathers|Ref=EXO_12:3!15|MId=o020120030151|Strong=0001 25 שֶׂ֥ה שֶׂה NOUN _ Number=Sing 1 ccomp _ Gloss=a.lamb|Ref=EXO_12:3!16|MId=o020120030161|Strong=7716 26-28 לַבָּֽיִת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EXO_12:3!17|MId=o020120030171|Strong=3807a 27 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_12:3!17|MId=o020120030171ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 בָּֽיִת בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 obl _ Gloss=household|Ref=EXO_12:3!17|MId=o020120030172|Strong=1004 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=EXO_12:3!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | דַּבְּרוּ *speak* | imperative · piel | | | | | | אמֹר | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | יִקְחוּ *they will take* | yiqtol · qal | עֲדַת *the congregation* | שֶׂה *a lamb* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
