Exodus 13:16 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/EXO.13.16/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Exodus](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/EXO/) / [chapter 13](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/EXO/13/) / 13:16 # Exodus 13:16 שְׁמוֹת **Who acts:** firstling, LORD · **What happens:** be, bring · **To what, where:** us, Egypt This is Exodus 13:16 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 — firstling, LORD — and what happens in the verse to us, Egypt, 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. וְהָיָ֤ה לְאוֹת֙ עַל־יָ֣דְכָ֔ה וּלְטוֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֣ין עֵינֶ֑יךָ כִּ֚י בְּחֹ֣זֶק יָ֔ד הוֹצִיאָ֥נוּ יְהוָ֖ה מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃ס [And it shall be for a sign upon thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes; for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.378/) ## 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:350 # text = וְהָיָ֤ה לְאוֹת֙ עַל־יָ֣דְכָ֔ה וּלְטוֹטָפֹ֖ת בֵּ֣ין עֵינֶ֑יךָ כִּ֚י בְּחֹ֣זֶק יָ֔ד הוֹצִיאָ֥נוּ יְהוָ֖ה מִמִּצְרָֽיִם׃ס # verse = EXO.13.16 1-2 וְהָיָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 4 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_13:16!1|MId=o020130160011|Strong=2050b 2 הָיָ֤ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 cop _ Gloss=it.will.become|Ref=EXO_13:16!1|MId=o020130160012|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020130100032;|Type=weqatal 3-4 לְאוֹת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(into).a|Ref=EXO_13:16!2|MId=o020130160021|Strong=3807a 4 אוֹת֙ אוֹת NOUN _ Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=sign|Ref=EXO_13:16!2|MId=o020130160022|Strong=0226 5 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_13:16!3|MId=o020130160031|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 יָ֣דְכָ֔ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 יָ֣ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 nmod _ Gloss=hand|Ref=EXO_13:16!4|MId=o020130160041|Strong=3027 7 ְכָ֔ה הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_13:16!4|MId=o020130160042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 8-10 וּלְטוֹטָפֹ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_13:16!5|MId=o020130160051|Strong=2050b 9 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=(into)|Ref=EXO_13:16!5|MId=o020130160052|Strong=3807a 10 טוֹטָפֹ֖ת טֹוטָפֹת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 4 conj _ Gloss=marks|Ref=EXO_13:16!5|MId=o020130160053|Strong=2903 11 בֵּ֣ין בֵּין ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=between|Ref=EXO_13:16!6|MId=o020130160061|Strong=0996 12-13 עֵינֶ֑יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 עֵינֶ֑י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 10 nmod _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=EXO_13:16!7|MId=o020130160071|Strong=5869 13 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_13:16!7|MId=o020130160072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 14 כִּ֚י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 18 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EXO_13:16!8|MId=o020130160081|Strong=3588 15-16 בְּחֹ֣זֶק _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EXO_13:16!9|MId=o020130160091|Strong=0871a 16 חֹ֣זֶק חֹזֶק NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 obl _ Gloss=strength|Ref=EXO_13:16!9|MId=o020130160092|Strong=2392 17 יָ֔ד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hand|Ref=EXO_13:16!10|MId=o020130160101|Strong=3027 18-19 הוֹצִיאָ֥נוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 הוֹצִיא יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 advcl _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_13:16!11|MId=o020130160111|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:020130160112;AA:020130160121;|Type=qatal 19 ָ֥נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=brought.us.out|Ref=EXO_13:16!11|MId=o020130160112|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 20 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 18 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_13:16!12|MId=o020130160121|Strong=3068 21-22 מִמִּצְרָֽיִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EXO_13:16!13|MId=o020130160131|Strong=4480 22 מִּצְרָֽיִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 18 obl _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=EXO_13:16!13|MId=o020130160132|Strong=4714 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=EXO_13:16!13|SpaceAfter=No 24 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=EXO_13:16!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 | | | | | | הוֹצִיא *he* | qatal · hiphil | ָנוּ *brought us out* | | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
