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 — LORD, waters — and what happens in the verse to hand, sea, Egyptians, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה נְטֵ֥ה אֶת־יָדְךָ֖ עַל־הַיָּ֑ם וְיָשֻׁ֤בוּ הַמַּ֙יִם֙ עַל־מִצְרַ֔יִם עַל־רִכְבּ֖וֹ וְעַל־פָּרָשָֽׁיו׃ [And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Stretch out thy hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.411/) ## 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:382 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֔ה נְטֵ֥ה אֶת־יָדְךָ֖ עַל־הַיָּ֑ם וְיָשֻׁ֤בוּ הַמַּ֙יִם֙ עַל־מִצְרַ֔יִם עַל־רִכְבּ֖וֹ וְעַל־פָּרָשָֽׁיו׃ # verse = EXO.14.26 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_14:26!1|MId=o020140260011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=EXO_14:26!1|MId=o020140260012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:020140260021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_14:26!2|MId=o020140260021|Strong=3068 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_14:26!3|MId=o020140260031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 מֹשֶׁ֔ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=EXO_14:26!4|MId=o020140260041|Strong=4872 6 נְטֵ֥ה נָטָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=stretch.out|Ref=EXO_14:26!5|MId=o020140260051|Strong=5186|Frame=A0:020140260041;A1:020140260071;|Type=imperative 7 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_14:26!6|MId=o020140260061|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 8-9 יָדְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 6 obj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=EXO_14:26!7|MId=o020140260071|Strong=3027 9 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_14:26!7|MId=o020140260072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 10 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=EXO_14:26!8|MId=o020140260081|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 11-12 הַיָּ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 12 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_14:26!9|MId=o020140260091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 12 יָּ֑ם יָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 obl _ Gloss=sea|Ref=EXO_14:26!9|MId=o020140260092|Strong=3220 13-14 וְיָשֻׁ֤בוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=so|Ref=EXO_14:26!10|MId=o020140260101|Strong=2050b 14 יָשֻׁ֤בוּ שׁוּב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 6 conj _ Gloss=that.they.may.return|Ref=EXO_14:26!10|MId=o020140260102|Strong=7725|Frame=A0:020140260112;|Type=jussive 15-16 הַמַּ֙יִם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_14:26!11|MId=o020140260111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מַּ֙יִם֙ מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 nsubj _ Gloss=waters|Ref=EXO_14:26!11|MId=o020140260112|Strong=4325 17 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=EXO_14:26!12|MId=o020140260121|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 18 מִצְרַ֔יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 14 obl _ Gloss=Egypt|Ref=EXO_14:26!13|MId=o020140260131|Strong=4714 19 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=EXO_14:26!14|MId=o020140260141|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 20-21 רִכְבּ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 רִכְבּ רֶכֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 conj _ Gloss=chariot[s]|Ref=EXO_14:26!15|MId=o020140260151|Strong=7393 21 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EXO_14:26!15|MId=o020140260152|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְעַל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_14:26!16|MId=o020140260161|Strong=2050b 23 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=EXO_14:26!16|MId=o020140260162|Strong=5921 24-25 פָּרָשָֽׁיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 פָּרָשָֽׁי פָּרָשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 conj _ Gloss=horsemen|Ref=EXO_14:26!17|MId=o020140260171|Strong=6571 25 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EXO_14:26!17|MId=o020140260172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=EXO_14:26!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | נְטֵה *stretch out* | imperative · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | יָד *hand* | | | | יָשֻׁבוּ *that they may return* | jussive · qal | מַּיִם *waters* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
