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 — thou, ox, thy — and what happens in the verse to work, rest, son, 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. שֵׁ֤שֶׁת יָמִים֙ תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה מַעֲשֶׂ֔יךָ וּבַיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֖י תִּשְׁבֹּ֑ת לְמַ֣עַן יָנ֗וּחַ שֽׁוֹרְךָ֙ וַחֲמֹרֶ֔ךָ וְיִנָּפֵ֥שׁ בֶּן־אֲמָתְךָ֖ וְהַגֵּֽר׃ [Six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; that thine ox and thine ass may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the stranger, may be refreshed.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.660/) ## 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:623 # text = שֵׁ֤שֶׁת יָמִים֙ תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה מַעֲשֶׂ֔יךָ וּבַיּ֥וֹם הַשְּׁבִיעִ֖י תִּשְׁבֹּ֑ת לְמַ֣עַן יָנ֗וּחַ שֽׁוֹרְךָ֙ וַחֲמֹרֶ֔ךָ וְיִנָּפֵ֥שׁ בֶּן־אֲמָתְךָ֖ וְהַגֵּֽר׃ # verse = EXO.23.12 1 שֵׁ֤שֶׁת שֵׁשׁ NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 nummod _ Gloss=six|Ref=EXO_23:12!1|MId=o020230120011|Strong=8337|Type=cardinal_number 2 יָמִים֙ יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 obl _ Gloss=days|Ref=EXO_23:12!2|MId=o020230120021|Strong=3117 3 תַּעֲשֶׂ֣ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.do|Ref=EXO_23:12!3|MId=o020230120031|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:020200220081;A1:020230120041;|Type=yiqtol 4-5 מַעֲשֶׂ֔יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מַעֲשֶׂ֔י מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 3 obj _ Gloss=work(s)|Ref=EXO_23:12!4|MId=o020230120041|Strong=4639 5 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_23:12!4|MId=o020230120042|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 6-9 וּבַיּ֥וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 12 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_23:12!5|MId=o020230120051|Strong=2050b 7 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_23:12!5|MId=o020230120052|Strong=0871a 8 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 9 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_23:12!5|MId=o020230120052ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 9 יּ֥וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=EXO_23:12!5|MId=o020230120053|Strong=3117 10-11 הַשְּׁבִיעִ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EXO_23:12!6|MId=o020230120061|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 שְּׁבִיעִ֖י שְׁבִיעִי NUM _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nummod _ Gloss=seventh|Ref=EXO_23:12!6|MId=o020230120062|Strong=7637|Type=ordinal_number 12 תִּשְׁבֹּ֑ת שָׁבַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.will.rest|Ref=EXO_23:12!7|MId=o020230120071|Strong=7673|Frame=A0:020200220081;|Type=yiqtol 13 לְמַ֣עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=so.that|Ref=EXO_23:12!8|MId=o020230120081|Strong=4616 14 יָנ֗וּחַ נוּחַ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 3 parataxis _ Gloss=it.may.rest|Ref=EXO_23:12!9|MId=o020230120091|Strong=5117|Frame=A0:020230120101;020230120112;|Type=yiqtol 15-16 שֽׁוֹרְךָ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 שֽׁוֹר שׁוֹר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=ox|Ref=EXO_23:12!10|MId=o020230120101|Strong=7794 16 ְךָ֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_23:12!10|MId=o020230120102|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 17-19 וַחֲמֹרֶ֔ךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_23:12!11|MId=o020230120111|Strong=2050b 18 חֲמֹר חֲמוֹר NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 conj _ Gloss=donkey|Ref=EXO_23:12!11|MId=o020230120112|Strong=2543 19 ֶ֔ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 18 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_23:12!11|MId=o020230120113|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 20-21 וְיִנָּפֵ֥שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_23:12!12|MId=o020230120121|Strong=2050b 21 יִנָּפֵ֥שׁ נָפַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 conj _ Gloss=he.will.refresh.himself|Ref=EXO_23:12!12|MId=o020230120122|Strong=5314|Frame=A0:020230120131;020230120153;|Type=yiqtol 22 בֶּן־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=the.child|Ref=EXO_23:12!13|MId=o020230120131|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 23-24 אֲמָתְךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֲמָת אָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 22 compound:smixut _ Gloss=your.female.slave|Ref=EXO_23:12!14|MId=o020230120141|Strong=0519 24 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_23:12!14|MId=o020230120142|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 25-27 וְהַגֵּֽר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_23:12!15|MId=o020230120151|Strong=2050b 26 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_23:12!15|MId=o020230120152|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 גֵּֽר גֵּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 conj _ Gloss=sojourner|Ref=EXO_23:12!15|MId=o020230120153|Strong=1616 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=EXO_23:12!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no - indirect: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תַּעֲשֶׂה *you will do* | yiqtol · qal | | מַעֲשֶׂי *work(s)* | | | | תִּשְׁבֹּת *you will rest* | yiqtol · qal | | | | | | יָנוּחַ *it may rest* | yiqtol · qal | שֽׁוֹר *ox* + חֲמֹר *donkey* | | | | | יִנָּפֵשׁ *he will refresh himself* | yiqtol · niphal | בֶּן־ *the child* + גֵּֽר *sojourner* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
