# Exodus 15:26 שְׁמוֹת

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD, thou, I · **What happens:** say, hearken, do, be, give, keep · **To what, where:** that, eyes, ear, commandments, statutes, none · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Exodus 15:26 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 — LORD, thou, I — and what happens in the verse to that, eyes, ear, commandments, statutes, none, 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 He said: 'If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His eyes, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases upon thee, which I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am the LORD that healeth thee.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.444/)

## 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.
