# Exodus 12:48 שְׁמוֹת

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** stranger, you, uncircumcised person · **What happens:** sojourn, keep, let, circumcise, come, be · **To what, where:** passover, males, stranger, male, land

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Exodus 12:48 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — stranger, you, uncircumcised person — and what happens in the verse to passover, males, stranger, male, land, 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.

[And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land; but no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.359/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
