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 — ox, owner — and what happens in the verse to warning, owner, ox, man, 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. וְאִ֡ם שׁוֹר֩ נַגָּ֨ח ה֜וּא מִתְּמֹ֣ל שִׁלְשֹׁ֗ם וְהוּעַ֤ד בִּבְעָלָיו֙ וְלֹ֣א יִשְׁמְרֶ֔נּוּ וְהֵמִ֥ית אִ֖ישׁ א֣וֹ אִשָּׁ֑ה הַשּׁוֹר֙ יִסָּקֵ֔ל וְגַם־בְּעָלָ֖יו יוּמָֽת׃ [But if the ox was wont to gore in time past, and warning hath been given to its owner, and he hath not kept it in, but it hath killed a man or a woman; the ox shall be stoned, and its owner also shall be put to death.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.608/) ## 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:573 # text = וְאִ֡ם שׁוֹר֩ נַגָּ֨ח ה֜וּא מִתְּמֹ֣ל שִׁלְשֹׁ֗ם וְהוּעַ֤ד בִּבְעָלָיו֙ וְלֹ֣א יִשְׁמְרֶ֔נּוּ וְהֵמִ֥ית אִ֖ישׁ א֣וֹ אִשָּׁ֑ה הַשּׁוֹר֙ יִסָּקֵ֔ל וְגַם־בְּעָלָ֖יו יוּמָֽת׃ # verse = EXO.21.29 1-2 וְאִ֡ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 25 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:29!1|MId=o020210290011|Strong=2050b 2 אִ֡ם אִם SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=EXO_21:29!1|MId=o020210290012|Strong=0518 3 שׁוֹר֩ שׁוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 advcl _ Gloss=[will.be].an.ox|Ref=EXO_21:29!2|MId=o020210290021|Strong=7794 4 נַגָּ֨ח נַגָּח ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 parataxis _ Gloss=prone.to.gore|Ref=EXO_21:29!3|MId=o020210290031|Strong=5056|Type=adjective 5 ה֜וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nsubj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EXO_21:29!4|MId=o020210290041|Strong=1931|Type=personal 6-7 מִתְּמֹ֣ל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EXO_21:29!5|MId=o020210290051|Strong=4480 7 תְּמֹ֣ל תְּמוֹל ADV _ _ 4 obl _ Gloss=yesterday|Ref=EXO_21:29!5|MId=o020210290052|Strong=8543 8 שִׁלְשֹׁ֗ם שִׁלְשֹׁום ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=three.days.ago|Ref=EXO_21:29!6|MId=o020210290061|Strong=8032 9-10 וְהוּעַ֤ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:29!7|MId=o020210290071|Strong=2050b 10 הוּעַ֤ד עוּד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=it.has.been.protested|Ref=EXO_21:29!7|MId=o020210290072|Strong=5749a|Frame=A1:020210290031;|Type=weqatal 11-13 בִּבְעָלָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_21:29!8|MId=o020210290081|Strong=0871a 12 בְעָלָי בַּעַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 10 obl _ Gloss=owner(s)|Ref=EXO_21:29!8|MId=o020210290082|Strong=1167 13 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EXO_21:29!8|MId=o020210290083|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 וְלֹ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:29!9|MId=o020210290091|Strong=2050b 15 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 16 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EXO_21:29!9|MId=o020210290092|Strong=3808|Type=negative 16-17 יִשְׁמְרֶ֔נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 יִשְׁמְר שָׁמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 10 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_21:29!10|MId=o020210290101|Strong=8104|Frame=A0:020210290082;A1:020210290102;|Type=yiqtol 17 ֶ֔נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=will.guard.it|Ref=EXO_21:29!10|MId=o020210290102|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 18-19 וְהֵמִ֥ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:29!11|MId=o020210290111|Strong=2050b 19 הֵמִ֥ית מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=it.will.kill|Ref=EXO_21:29!11|MId=o020210290112|Strong=4191|Frame=AA:020210290021;A0:020210290121;020210290141;|Type=weqatal 20 אִ֖ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 obj _ Gloss=a.man|Ref=EXO_21:29!12|MId=o020210290121|Strong=0376 21 א֣וֹ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 22 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=EXO_21:29!13|MId=o020210290131|Strong=0176 22 אִשָּׁ֑ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 conj _ Gloss=a.woman|Ref=EXO_21:29!14|MId=o020210290141|Strong=0802 23-24 הַשּׁוֹר֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_21:29!15|MId=o020210290151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 שּׁוֹר֙ שׁוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 25 nsubj _ Gloss=ox|Ref=EXO_21:29!15|MId=o020210290152|Strong=7794 25 יִסָּקֵ֔ל סָקַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=it.will.be.stoned.to.death|Ref=EXO_21:29!16|MId=o020210290161|Strong=5619|Frame=A1:020210290152;|Type=yiqtol 26-27 וְגַם־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:29!17|MId=o020210290171|Strong=2050b 27 גַם־ גַּם ADV _ _ 28 advmod _ Gloss=also|Ref=EXO_21:29!17|MId=o020210290172|Strong=1571|Type=affirmation 28-29 בְּעָלָ֖יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 בְּעָלָ֖י בַּעַל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 30 nsubj _ Gloss=owner(s)|Ref=EXO_21:29!18|MId=o020210290181|Strong=1167 29 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EXO_21:29!18|MId=o020210290182|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30 יוּמָֽת מוּת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 25 conj _ Gloss=he.will.be.put.to.death|Ref=EXO_21:29!19|MId=o020210290191|Strong=4191|Frame=A1:020210290181;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=EXO_21:29!19 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
