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 — child, Moses, Egyptian, brethren — and what happens in the verse to Moses, Egyptian, Hebrew, 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. וַיְהִ֣י ׀ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֗ם וַיִּגְדַּ֤ל מֹשֶׁה֙ וַיֵּצֵ֣א אֶל־אֶחָ֔יו וַיַּ֖רְא בְּסִבְלֹתָ֑ם וַיַּרְא֙ אִ֣ישׁ מִצְרִ֔י מַכֶּ֥ה אִישׁ־עִבְרִ֖י מֵאֶחָֽיו׃ [And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown up, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens; and he saw an Egyptian smiting a Hebrew, one of his brethren.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.36/) ## 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:32 # text = וַיְהִ֣י ׀ בַּיָּמִ֣ים הָהֵ֗ם וַיִּגְדַּ֤ל מֹשֶׁה֙ וַיֵּצֵ֣א אֶל־אֶחָ֔יו וַיַּ֖רְא בְּסִבְלֹתָ֑ם וַיַּרְא֙ אִ֣ישׁ מִצְרִ֔י מַכֶּ֥ה אִישׁ־עִבְרִ֖י מֵאֶחָֽיו׃ # verse = EXO.2.11 1-2 וַיְהִ֣י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_2:11!1|MId=o020020110011|Strong=2050b 2 יְהִ֣י הָיָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=EXO_2:11!1|MId=o020020110012|Strong=1961|Type=wayyiqtol 3 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 2 punct _ Ref=EXO_2:11!1 4-6 בַּיָּמִ֣ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EXO_2:11!2|MId=o020020110021|Strong=0871a 5 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_2:11!2|MId=o020020110021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 יָּמִ֣ים יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=EXO_2:11!2|MId=o020020110022|Strong=3117 7-8 הָהֵ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EXO_2:11!3|MId=o020020110031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 הֵ֗ם הֵם PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 6 det _ Gloss=those|Ref=EXO_2:11!3|MId=o020020110032|Strong=1992|Type=personal 9-10 וַיִּגְדַּ֤ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_2:11!4|MId=o020020110041|Strong=2050b 10 יִּגְדַּ֤ל גָּדַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.grew.up|Ref=EXO_2:11!4|MId=o020020110042|Strong=1431|Frame=A0:020020110051;|Type=wayyiqtol 11 מֹשֶׁה֙ מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 10 nsubj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=EXO_2:11!5|MId=o020020110051|Strong=4872 12-13 וַיֵּצֵ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_2:11!6|MId=o020020110061|Strong=2050b 13 יֵּצֵ֣א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went.out|Ref=EXO_2:11!6|MId=o020020110062|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:020020110051;|Type=wayyiqtol 14 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_2:11!7|MId=o020020110071|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 15-16 אֶחָ֔יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֶחָ֔י אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 obl _ Gloss=brothers|Ref=EXO_2:11!8|MId=o020020110081|Strong=0251 16 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EXO_2:11!8|MId=o020020110082|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 17-18 וַיַּ֖רְא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_2:11!9|MId=o020020110091|Strong=2050b 18 יַּ֖רְא רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.looked|Ref=EXO_2:11!9|MId=o020020110092|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:020020110051;|Type=wayyiqtol 19-21 בְּסִבְלֹתָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_2:11!10|MId=o020020110101|Strong=0871a 20 סִבְלֹת סִבְלֹות NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 18 obl _ Gloss=their.forced|Ref=EXO_2:11!10|MId=o020020110102|Strong=5450 21 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 20 nmod:poss _ Gloss=labor|Ref=EXO_2:11!10|MId=o020020110103|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 וַיַּרְא֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_2:11!11|MId=o020020110111|Strong=2050b 23 יַּרְא֙ רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.saw|Ref=EXO_2:11!11|MId=o020020110112|Strong=7200|Frame=A0:020020110051;A1:020020110141;|Type=wayyiqtol 24 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=EXO_2:11!12|MId=o020020110121|Strong=0376 25 מִצְרִ֔י מִצְרִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 appos _ Gloss=Egyptian|Ref=EXO_2:11!13|MId=o020020110131|Strong=4713|Type=gentilic 26 מַכֶּ֥ה נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 23 ccomp _ Gloss=striking|Ref=EXO_2:11!14|MId=o020020110141|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:020020110121;A0:020020110151;|Type=participle_active 27 אִישׁ־ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obj _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=EXO_2:11!15|MId=o020020110151|Strong=0376|SpaceAfter=No 28 עִבְרִ֖י עִבְרִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 27 appos _ Gloss=Hebrew|Ref=EXO_2:11!16|MId=o020020110161|Strong=5680|Type=gentilic 29-31 מֵאֶחָֽיו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 מֵ מִן ADP _ _ 30 case _ Gloss=one|Ref=EXO_2:11!17|MId=o020020110171|Strong=4480 30 אֶחָֽי אָח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 27 nmod _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_2:11!17|MId=o020020110172|Strong=0251 31 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.brothers|Ref=EXO_2:11!17|MId=o020020110173|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EXO_2:11!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
