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 — thou, able men, men — and what happens in the verse to able men, God, unjust gain, such, rulers, 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. וְאַתָּ֣ה תֶחֱזֶ֣ה מִכָּל־הָ֠עָם אַנְשֵׁי־חַ֜יִל יִרְאֵ֧י אֱלֹהִ֛ים אַנְשֵׁ֥י אֱמֶ֖ת שֹׂ֣נְאֵי בָ֑צַע וְשַׂמְתָּ֣ עֲלֵהֶ֗ם שָׂרֵ֤י אֲלָפִים֙ שָׂרֵ֣י מֵא֔וֹת שָׂרֵ֥י חֲמִשִּׁ֖ים וְשָׂרֵ֥י עֲשָׂרֹֽת׃ [Moreover thou shalt provide out of all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.521/) ## 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:487 # text = וְאַתָּ֣ה תֶחֱזֶ֣ה מִכָּל־הָ֠עָם אַנְשֵׁי־חַ֜יִל יִרְאֵ֧י אֱלֹהִ֛ים אַנְשֵׁ֥י אֱמֶ֖ת שֹׂ֣נְאֵי בָ֑צַע וְשַׂמְתָּ֣ עֲלֵהֶ֗ם שָׂרֵ֤י אֲלָפִים֙ שָׂרֵ֣י מֵא֔וֹת שָׂרֵ֥י חֲמִשִּׁ֖ים וְשָׂרֵ֥י עֲשָׂרֹֽת׃ # verse = EXO.18.21 1-2 וְאַתָּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 3 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_18:21!1|MId=o020180210011|Strong=2050b 2 אַתָּ֣ה אַתָּה PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 3 nsubj _ Gloss=you|Ref=EXO_18:21!1|MId=o020180210012|Strong=0859|Type=personal 3 תֶחֱזֶ֣ה חָזָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.select|Ref=EXO_18:21!2|MId=o020180210021|Strong=2372|Frame=A0:020180210012;A1:020180210051;|Type=yiqtol 4-5 מִכָּל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EXO_18:21!3|MId=o020180210031|Strong=4480 5 כָּל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=EXO_18:21!3|MId=o020180210032|Strong=3605 6-7 הָ֠עָם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ֠ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_18:21!4|MId=o020180210041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 עָם עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=people|Ref=EXO_18:21!4|MId=o020180210042|Strong=5971 8 אַנְשֵׁי־ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 obj _ Gloss=men|Ref=EXO_18:21!5|MId=o020180210051|Strong=0376|SpaceAfter=No 9 חַ֜יִל חַיִל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.ability|Ref=EXO_18:21!6|MId=o020180210061|Strong=2428 10 יִרְאֵ֧י יָרֵא ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 appos _ Gloss=[those].fearing|Ref=EXO_18:21!7|MId=o020180210071|Strong=3373|Type=adjective 11 אֱלֹהִ֛ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(of).God|Ref=EXO_18:21!8|MId=o020180210081|Strong=0430 12 אַנְשֵׁ֥י אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 appos _ Gloss=men|Ref=EXO_18:21!9|MId=o020180210091|Strong=0376 13 אֱמֶ֖ת אֱמֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.faithfulness|Ref=EXO_18:21!10|MId=o020180210101|Strong=0571 14 שֹׂ֣נְאֵי שָׂנֵא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 8 appos _ Gloss=[who].hate|Ref=EXO_18:21!11|MId=o020180210111|Strong=8130|Frame=A0:020180210051;A1:020180210121;|Type=participle_active 15 בָ֑צַע בֶּצַע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=(of).unjust.gain|Ref=EXO_18:21!12|MId=o020180210121|Strong=1215 16-17 וְשַׂמְתָּ֣ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_18:21!13|MId=o020180210131|Strong=2050b 17 שַׂמְתָּ֣ שׂים VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.will.appoint|Ref=EXO_18:21!13|MId=o020180210132|Strong=7760|Frame=A0:020180170031;|Type=weqatal 18-19 עֲלֵהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 עֲל עַל ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=over|Ref=EXO_18:21!14|MId=o020180210141|Strong=5921 19 ֵהֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 obl _ Gloss=them|Ref=EXO_18:21!14|MId=o020180210142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 20 שָׂרֵ֤י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 17 xcomp _ Gloss=leaders|Ref=EXO_18:21!15|MId=o020180210151|Strong=8269 21 אֲלָפִים֙ אֶלֶף NUM _ Number=Plur 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.thousands|Ref=EXO_18:21!16|MId=o020180210161|Strong=0505|Type=cardinal_number 22 שָׂרֵ֣י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 conj _ Gloss=leaders|Ref=EXO_18:21!17|MId=o020180210171|Strong=8269 23 מֵא֔וֹת מֵאָה NUM _ Number=Plur 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.hundreds|Ref=EXO_18:21!18|MId=o020180210181|Strong=3967|Type=cardinal_number 24 שָׂרֵ֥י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 conj _ Gloss=leaders|Ref=EXO_18:21!19|MId=o020180210191|Strong=8269 25 חֲמִשִּׁ֖ים חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Number=Plur 24 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.fifties|Ref=EXO_18:21!20|MId=o020180210201|Strong=2572|Type=cardinal_number 26-27 וְשָׂרֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_18:21!21|MId=o020180210211|Strong=2050b 27 שָׂרֵ֥י שַׂר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 conj _ Gloss=leaders|Ref=EXO_18:21!21|MId=o020180210212|Strong=8269 28 עֲשָׂרֹֽת עֲשָׂרָה NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 27 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.tens|Ref=EXO_18:21!22|MId=o020180210221|Strong=6235|Type=cardinal_number|SpaceAfter=No 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=EXO_18:21!22 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תֶחֱזֶה *you will select* | yiqtol · qal | אַתָּה *you* | אַנְשֵׁי־ *men* | | | | שֹׂנְאֵי *\[who\] hate* | participle active · qal | אַנְשֵׁי־ *men* | בָצַע *(of) unjust gain* | | | | שַׂמְתָּ *you will appoint* | weqatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
