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 — man — and what happens in the verse to ox, five oxen, 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. כִּ֤י יִגְנֹֽב־אִישׁ֙ שׁ֣וֹר אוֹ־שֶׂ֔ה וּטְבָח֖וֹ א֣וֹ מְכָר֑וֹ חֲמִשָּׁ֣ה בָקָ֗ר יְשַׁלֵּם֙ תַּ֣חַת הַשּׁ֔וֹר וְאַרְבַּע־צֹ֖אן תַּ֥חַת הַשֶּֽׂה׃ [If a man steal an ox, or a sheep, and kill it, or sell it, he shall pay five oxen for an ox, and four sheep for a sheep.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.616/) ## 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:581 # text = כִּ֤י יִגְנֹֽב־אִישׁ֙ שׁ֣וֹר אוֹ־שֶׂ֔ה וּטְבָח֖וֹ א֣וֹ מְכָר֑וֹ חֲמִשָּׁ֣ה בָקָ֗ר יְשַׁלֵּם֙ תַּ֣חַת הַשּׁ֔וֹר וְאַרְבַּע־צֹ֖אן תַּ֥חַת הַשֶּֽׂה׃ # verse = EXO.21.37 1 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EXO_21:37!1|MId=o020210370011|Strong=3588 2 יִגְנֹֽב־ גָּנַב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.steal|Ref=EXO_21:37!2|MId=o020210370021|Strong=1589|Frame=A0:020210370031;A1:020210370041;020210370061;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 3 אִישׁ֙ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nsubj _ Gloss=anyone|Ref=EXO_21:37!3|MId=o020210370031|Strong=0376 4 שׁ֣וֹר שׁוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=an.ox|Ref=EXO_21:37!4|MId=o020210370041|Strong=7794 5 אוֹ־ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=EXO_21:37!5|MId=o020210370051|Strong=0176|SpaceAfter=No 6 שֶׂ֔ה שֶׂה NOUN _ Number=Sing 4 conj _ Gloss=a.sheep|Ref=EXO_21:37!6|MId=o020210370061|Strong=7716 7-9 וּטְבָח֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:37!7|MId=o020210370071|Strong=2050b 8 טְבָח טָבַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_21:37!7|MId=o020210370072|Strong=2873|Frame=A0:020210370031;A1:020210370073;|Type=weqatal 9 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=will.slaughter.it|Ref=EXO_21:37!7|MId=o020210370073|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 10 א֣וֹ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=EXO_21:37!8|MId=o020210370081|Strong=0176 11-12 מְכָר֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 מְכָר מָכַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 8 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_21:37!9|MId=o020210370091|Strong=4376|Frame=A0:020210370031;A1:020210370092;|Type=qatal 12 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 11 obj _ Gloss=has.sold.it|Ref=EXO_21:37!9|MId=o020210370092|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 13 חֲמִשָּׁ֣ה חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nummod _ Gloss=five|Ref=EXO_21:37!10|MId=o020210370101|Strong=2568|Type=cardinal_number 14 בָקָ֗ר בָּקָר NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=cattle|Ref=EXO_21:37!11|MId=o020210370111|Strong=1241 15 יְשַׁלֵּם֙ שָׁלֵם VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 parataxis _ Gloss=he.will.repay|Ref=EXO_21:37!12|MId=o020210370121|Strong=7999|Frame=A0:020210370031;A1:020210370111;|Type=yiqtol 16 תַּ֣חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 15 obl _ Gloss=in.place.of|Ref=EXO_21:37!13|MId=o020210370131|Strong=8478 17-18 הַשּׁ֔וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_21:37!14|MId=o020210370141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 שּׁ֔וֹר שׁוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=ox|Ref=EXO_21:37!14|MId=o020210370142|Strong=7794 19-20 וְאַרְבַּע־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:37!15|MId=o020210370151|Strong=2050b 20 אַרְבַּע־ אַרְבַּע NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 nummod _ Gloss=four|Ref=EXO_21:37!15|MId=o020210370152|Strong=0702|Type=cardinal_number 21 צֹ֖אן צֹאן NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 conj _ Gloss=sheep|Ref=EXO_21:37!16|MId=o020210370161|Strong=6629 22 תַּ֥חַת תַּחַת NOUN _ _ 21 obl _ Gloss=in.place.of|Ref=EXO_21:37!17|MId=o020210370171|Strong=8478 23-24 הַשֶּֽׂה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 24 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_21:37!18|MId=o020210370181|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 24 שֶּֽׂה שֶׂה NOUN _ Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=sheep|Ref=EXO_21:37!18|MId=o020210370182|Strong=7716 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=EXO_21:37!18 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִגְנֹֽב־ *he will steal* | yiqtol · qal | אִישׁ *anyone* | שׁוֹר *an ox* + שֶׂה *a sheep* | | | | טְבָח *he* | weqatal · qal | אִישׁ *anyone* | וֹ *will slaughter it* | | | | מְכָר *he* | qatal · qal | אִישׁ *anyone* | וֹ *has sold it* | | | | יְשַׁלֵּם *he will repay* | yiqtol · piel | אִישׁ *anyone* | בָקָר *cattle* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
