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 — house, taste — and what happens in the verse to name, wafers, house, 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. וַיִּקְרְא֧וּ בֵֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ מָ֑ן וְה֗וּא כְּזֶ֤רַע גַּד֙ לָבָ֔ן וְטַעְמ֖וֹ כְּצַפִּיחִ֥ת בִּדְבָֽשׁ׃ [And the house of Israel called the name thereof Manna; and it was like coriander seed, white; and the taste of it was like wafers made with honey.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.479/) ## 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:445 # text = וַיִּקְרְא֧וּ בֵֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ מָ֑ן וְה֗וּא כְּזֶ֤רַע גַּד֙ לָבָ֔ן וְטַעְמ֖וֹ כְּצַפִּיחִ֥ת בִּדְבָֽשׁ׃ # verse = EXO.16.31 1-2 וַיִּקְרְא֧וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_16:31!1|MId=o020160310011|Strong=2050b 2 יִּקְרְא֧וּ קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.called|Ref=EXO_16:31!1|MId=o020160310012|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:020160310021;A1:020160310051;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 בֵֽית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=the.household|Ref=EXO_16:31!2|MId=o020160310021|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 4 יִשְׂרָאֵ֛ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EXO_16:31!3|MId=o020160310031|Strong=3478 5 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_16:31!4|MId=o020160310041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 6-7 שְׁמ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 שְׁמ שֵׁם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=name|Ref=EXO_16:31!5|MId=o020160310051|Strong=8034 7 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EXO_16:31!5|MId=o020160310052|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 8 מָ֑ן מָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 xcomp _ Gloss=manna|Ref=EXO_16:31!6|MId=o020160310061|Strong=4478 9-10 וְה֗וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_16:31!7|MId=o020160310071|Strong=2050b 10 ה֗וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EXO_16:31!7|MId=o020160310072|Strong=1931|Type=personal 11-12 כְּזֶ֤רַע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=EXO_16:31!8|MId=o020160310081|Strong=3509a 12 זֶ֤רַע זֶרַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 conj _ Gloss=seed|Ref=EXO_16:31!8|MId=o020160310082|Strong=2233 13 גַּד֙ גַּד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.coriander|Ref=EXO_16:31!9|MId=o020160310091|Strong=1407 14 לָבָ֔ן לָבָן ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 amod _ Gloss=[was].white|Ref=EXO_16:31!10|MId=o020160310101|Strong=3836|Type=adjective 15-17 וְטַעְמ֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_16:31!11|MId=o020160310111|Strong=2050b 16 טַעְמ טַעַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=taste|Ref=EXO_16:31!11|MId=o020160310112|Strong=2940 17 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EXO_16:31!11|MId=o020160310113|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 18-19 כְּצַפִּיחִ֥ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=[was].like|Ref=EXO_16:31!12|MId=o020160310121|Strong=3509a 19 צַפִּיחִ֥ת צְפִיחִת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=a.wafer|Ref=EXO_16:31!12|MId=o020160310122|Strong=6838 20-21 בִּדְבָֽשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EXO_16:31!13|MId=o020160310131|Strong=0871a 21 דְבָֽשׁ דְּבַשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nmod _ Gloss=honey|Ref=EXO_16:31!13|MId=o020160310132|Strong=1706 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=EXO_16:31!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִּקְרְאוּ *they called* | wayyiqtol · qal | בֵֽית־ *the household* | שְׁמ *name* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
