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 — master, wife, Hebrew — and what happens in the verse to wife, Hebrew, sons, 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. אִם־אֲדֹנָיו֙ יִתֶּן־ל֣וֹ אִשָּׁ֔ה וְיָלְדָה־ל֥וֹ בָנִ֖ים א֣וֹ בָנ֑וֹת הָאִשָּׁ֣ה וִילָדֶ֗יהָ תִּהְיֶה֙ לַֽאדֹנֶ֔יהָ וְה֖וּא יֵצֵ֥א בְגַפּֽוֹ׃ [If his master give him a wife, and she bear him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.583/) ## 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:548 # text = אִם־אֲדֹנָיו֙ יִתֶּן־ל֣וֹ אִשָּׁ֔ה וְיָלְדָה־ל֥וֹ בָנִ֖ים א֣וֹ בָנ֑וֹת הָאִשָּׁ֣ה וִילָדֶ֗יהָ תִּהְיֶה֙ לַֽאדֹנֶ֔יהָ וְה֖וּא יֵצֵ֥א בְגַפּֽוֹ׃ # verse = EXO.21.4 1 אִם־ אִם SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=if|Ref=EXO_21:4!1|MId=o020210040011|Strong=0518|SpaceAfter=No 2-3 אֲדֹנָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אֲדֹנָי אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 nsubj _ Gloss=master(s)|Ref=EXO_21:4!2|MId=o020210040021|Strong=0113 3 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EXO_21:4!2|MId=o020210040022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 4 יִתֶּן־ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 22 advcl _ Gloss=he.will.give|Ref=EXO_21:4!3|MId=o020210040031|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:020210040021;A1:020210040051;|Type=yiqtol|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 ל֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 ל לְ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_21:4!4|MId=o020210040041|Strong=3807a 6 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=EXO_21:4!4|MId=o020210040042|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 7 אִשָּׁ֔ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 4 obj _ Gloss=a.wife|Ref=EXO_21:4!5|MId=o020210040051|Strong=0802 8-9 וְיָלְדָה־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:4!6|MId=o020210040061|Strong=2050b 9 יָלְדָה־ יָלַד VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=she.will.bear|Ref=EXO_21:4!6|MId=o020210040062|Strong=3205|Frame=A0:020210040051;A1:020210040081;020210040101;|Type=weqatal 10-11 ל֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 ל לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_21:4!7|MId=o020210040071|Strong=3807a 11 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=EXO_21:4!7|MId=o020210040072|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 בָנִ֖ים בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obj _ Gloss=sons|Ref=EXO_21:4!8|MId=o020210040081|Strong=1121 13 א֣וֹ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=EXO_21:4!9|MId=o020210040091|Strong=0176 14 בָנ֑וֹת בַּת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 12 conj _ Gloss=daughters|Ref=EXO_21:4!10|MId=o020210040101|Strong=1323 15-16 הָאִשָּׁ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_21:4!11|MId=o020210040111|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 אִשָּׁ֣ה אִשָּׁה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 nsubj _ Gloss=woman|Ref=EXO_21:4!11|MId=o020210040112|Strong=0802 17-19 וִילָדֶ֗יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וִ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:4!12|MId=o020210040121|Strong=2050b 18 ילָדֶ֗י יֶלֶד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 16 conj _ Gloss=children|Ref=EXO_21:4!12|MId=o020210040122|Strong=3206 19 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=EXO_21:4!12|MId=o020210040123|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 20 תִּהְיֶה֙ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 22 cop _ Gloss=she.will.belong|Ref=EXO_21:4!13|MId=o020210040131|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020210040112;020210040122;|Type=yiqtol 21-23 לַֽאדֹנֶ֔יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לַֽ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_21:4!14|MId=o020210040141|Strong=3807a 22 אדֹנֶ֔י אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 0 root _ Gloss=master(s)|Ref=EXO_21:4!14|MId=o020210040142|Strong=0113 23 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=her|Ref=EXO_21:4!14|MId=o020210040143|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 24-25 וְה֖וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:4!15|MId=o020210040151|Strong=2050b 25 ה֖וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nsubj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_21:4!15|MId=o020210040152|Strong=1931|Type=personal 26 יֵצֵ֥א יָצָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 22 conj _ Gloss=he.will.go.out|Ref=EXO_21:4!16|MId=o020210040161|Strong=3318|Frame=A0:020210040152;|Type=yiqtol 27-29 בְגַפּֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בְ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EXO_21:4!17|MId=o020210040171|Strong=0871a 28 גַפּ גַּף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 obl _ Gloss=body|Ref=EXO_21:4!17|MId=o020210040172|Strong=1610a 29 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 28 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EXO_21:4!17|MId=o020210040173|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 30 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 29 punct _ Ref=EXO_21:4!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יִתֶּן־ *he will give* | yiqtol · qal | אֲדֹנָי *master(s)* | אִשָּׁה *a wife* | | | | יָלְדָה־ *she will bear* | weqatal · qal | אִשָּׁה *a wife* | בָנִים *sons* + בָנוֹת *daughters* | | | | תִּהְיֶה *she will belong* | yiqtol · qal | אִשָּׁה *woman* + ילָדֶי *children* | | | | | יֵצֵא *he will go out* | yiqtol · qal | הוּא *he* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
