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 — and what happens in the verse to servant, master, door, ear, 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. וְהִגִּישׁ֤וֹ אֲדֹנָיו֙ אֶל־הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים וְהִגִּישׁוֹ֙ אֶל־הַדֶּ֔לֶת א֖וֹ אֶל־הַמְּזוּזָ֑ה וְרָצַ֨ע אֲדֹנָ֤יו אֶת־אָזְנוֹ֙ בַּמַּרְצֵ֔עַ וַעֲבָד֖וֹ לְעֹלָֽם׃ס [then his master shall bring him unto God, and shall bring him to the door, or unto the door-post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.585/) ## 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:550 # text = וְהִגִּישׁ֤וֹ אֲדֹנָיו֙ אֶל־הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים וְהִגִּישׁוֹ֙ אֶל־הַדֶּ֔לֶת א֖וֹ אֶל־הַמְּזוּזָ֑ה וְרָצַ֨ע אֲדֹנָ֤יו אֶת־אָזְנוֹ֙ בַּמַּרְצֵ֔עַ וַעֲבָד֖וֹ לְעֹלָֽם׃ס # verse = EXO.21.6 1-3 וְהִגִּישׁ֤וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:6!1|MId=o020210060011|Strong=2050b 2 הִגִּישׁ נָגַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_21:6!1|MId=o020210060012|Strong=5066|Frame=A0:020210060013;AA:020210060021;|Type=weqatal 3 ֤וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=will.bring.him.near|Ref=EXO_21:6!1|MId=o020210060013|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 4-5 אֲדֹנָיו֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 אֲדֹנָי אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 nsubj _ Gloss=master(s)|Ref=EXO_21:6!2|MId=o020210060021|Strong=0113 5 ו֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EXO_21:6!2|MId=o020210060022|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 6 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_21:6!3|MId=o020210060031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 7-8 הָ֣אֱלֹהִ֔ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 הָ֣ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 8 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EXO_21:6!4|MId=o020210060041|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 8 אֱלֹהִ֔ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=God|Ref=EXO_21:6!4|MId=o020210060042|Strong=0430 9-11 וְהִגִּישׁוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 10 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:6!5|MId=o020210060051|Strong=2050b 10 הִגִּישׁ נָגַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_21:6!5|MId=o020210060052|Strong=5066|Frame=AA:020210060021;A0:020210060053;|Type=weqatal 11 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=will.bring.him.near|Ref=EXO_21:6!5|MId=o020210060053|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 12 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_21:6!6|MId=o020210060061|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 13-14 הַדֶּ֔לֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 14 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_21:6!7|MId=o020210060071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 14 דֶּ֔לֶת דֶּלֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=door|Ref=EXO_21:6!7|MId=o020210060072|Strong=1817 15 א֖וֹ אוֹ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=or|Ref=EXO_21:6!8|MId=o020210060081|Strong=0176 16 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_21:6!9|MId=o020210060091|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 17-18 הַמְּזוּזָ֑ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_21:6!10|MId=o020210060101|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מְּזוּזָ֑ה מְזוּזָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 14 conj _ Gloss=doorpost|Ref=EXO_21:6!10|MId=o020210060102|Strong=4201 19-20 וְרָצַ֨ע _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:6!11|MId=o020210060111|Strong=2050b 20 רָצַ֨ע רָצַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.will.pierce|Ref=EXO_21:6!11|MId=o020210060112|Strong=7527|Frame=A0:020210060121;A1:020210060141;|Type=weqatal 21-22 אֲדֹנָ֤יו _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 אֲדֹנָ֤י אָדוֹן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 nsubj _ Gloss=master(s)|Ref=EXO_21:6!12|MId=o020210060121|Strong=0113 22 ו הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EXO_21:6!12|MId=o020210060122|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 23 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_21:6!13|MId=o020210060131|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 24-25 אָזְנוֹ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 אָזְנ אֹזֶן NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 20 obj _ Gloss=ear|Ref=EXO_21:6!14|MId=o020210060141|Strong=0241 25 וֹ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 24 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EXO_21:6!14|MId=o020210060142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26-28 בַּמַּרְצֵ֔עַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 26 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EXO_21:6!15|MId=o020210060151|Strong=0871a 27 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 28 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_21:6!15|MId=o020210060151ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 28 מַּרְצֵ֔עַ מַרְצֵעַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 20 obl _ Gloss=awl|Ref=EXO_21:6!15|MId=o020210060152|Strong=4836 29-31 וַעֲבָד֖וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 30 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_21:6!16|MId=o020210060161|Strong=2050b 30 עֲבָד עָבַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_21:6!16|MId=o020210060162|Strong=5647|Frame=A0:020210050042;A1:020210060163;|Type=weqatal 31 ֖וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 30 obj _ Gloss=will.serve.him|Ref=EXO_21:6!16|MId=o020210060163|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 32-33 לְעֹלָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 32 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 33 case _ Gloss=forever|Ref=EXO_21:6!17|MId=o020210060171|Strong=3807a 33 עֹלָֽם עוֹלָם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 30 obl _ Gloss=of.perpetuity|Ref=EXO_21:6!17|MId=o020210060172|Strong=5769 34 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=EXO_21:6!17|SpaceAfter=No 35 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 33 punct _ Ref=EXO_21:6!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
