Exodus 23:29 in Hebrew with its dependency tree, Targum Onkelos, JPS 1917 and the pragmatics of every clause. --- [Mova](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) · [this page in HTML](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/EXO.23.29/) [home](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/) / [corpora](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/) / [Tanakh](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/tanakh/) / [Torah](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/) / [Exodus](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/EXO/) / [chapter 23](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/EXO/23/) / 23:29 # Exodus 23:29 שְׁמוֹת **Who acts:** I, land, beasts · **What happens:** not drive out, become, multiply · **To what, where:** people, thee This is Exodus 23:29 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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 — I, land, beasts — and what happens in the verse to people, thee, 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. לֹ֧א אֲגָרְשֶׁ֛נּוּ מִפָּנֶ֖יךָ בְּשָׁנָ֣ה אֶחָ֑ת פֶּן־תִּהְיֶ֤ה הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ שְׁמָמָ֔ה וְרַבָּ֥ה עָלֶ֖יךָ חַיַּ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶֽה׃ [I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.678/) ## 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:640 # text = לֹ֧א אֲגָרְשֶׁ֛נּוּ מִפָּנֶ֖יךָ בְּשָׁנָ֣ה אֶחָ֑ת פֶּן־תִּהְיֶ֤ה הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ שְׁמָמָ֔ה וְרַבָּ֥ה עָלֶ֖יךָ חַיַּ֥ת הַשָּׂדֶֽה׃ # verse = EXO.23.29 1 לֹ֧א לֹא ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EXO_23:29!1|MId=o020230290011|Strong=3808|Type=negative 2-3 אֲגָרְשֶׁ֛נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 2 אֲגָרְשׁ גָּרַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I|Ref=EXO_23:29!2|MId=o020230290021|Strong=1644|Frame=A0:020230250031;A1:020230290022;|Type=yiqtol 3 ֶ֛נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 obj _ Gloss=will.drive.it.out|Ref=EXO_23:29!2|MId=o020230290022|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 4-6 מִפָּנֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EXO_23:29!3|MId=o020230290031|Strong=4480 5 פָּנֶ֖י פָּנֶה NOUN _ Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=before|Ref=EXO_23:29!3|MId=o020230290032|Strong=6440 6 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=you|Ref=EXO_23:29!3|MId=o020230290033|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7-8 בְּשָׁנָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EXO_23:29!4|MId=o020230290041|Strong=0871a 8 שָׁנָ֣ה שָׁנָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=a.year|Ref=EXO_23:29!4|MId=o020230290042|Strong=8141 9 אֶחָ֑ת אֶחָד NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 8 nummod _ Gloss=one|Ref=EXO_23:29!5|MId=o020230290051|Strong=0259|Type=cardinal_number 10 פֶּן־ פֶּן SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=lest|Ref=EXO_23:29!6|MId=o020230290061|Strong=6435|SpaceAfter=No 11 תִּהְיֶ֤ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 cop _ Gloss=it.should.become|Ref=EXO_23:29!7|MId=o020230290071|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020230290082;|Type=yiqtol 12-13 הָאָ֙רֶץ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_23:29!8|MId=o020230290081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 אָ֙רֶץ֙ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=land|Ref=EXO_23:29!8|MId=o020230290082|Strong=0776 14 שְׁמָמָ֔ה שְׁמָמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 advcl _ Gloss=a.waste|Ref=EXO_23:29!9|MId=o020230290091|Strong=8077 15-16 וְרַבָּ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_23:29!10|MId=o020230290101|Strong=2050b 16 רַבָּ֥ה רבב VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 14 conj _ Gloss=it.will.become.many|Ref=EXO_23:29!10|MId=o020230290102|Strong=7231|Frame=A0:020230290121;|Type=weqatal 17-18 עָלֶ֖יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 עָלֶ֖י עַל ADP _ _ 18 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_23:29!11|MId=o020230290111|Strong=5921 18 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 16 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EXO_23:29!11|MId=o020230290112|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 19 חַיַּ֥ת חַיָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 16 nsubj _ Gloss=the.animal[s]|Ref=EXO_23:29!12|MId=o020230290121|Strong=2416c 20-21 הַשָּׂדֶֽה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_23:29!13|MId=o020230290131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 שָּׂדֶֽה שָׂדֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.field|Ref=EXO_23:29!13|MId=o020230290132|Strong=7704 22 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 21 punct _ Ref=EXO_23:29!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** אֲגָרְשׁ *I* | yiqtol · piel | | ֶנּוּ *will drive it out* | | | | תִּהְיֶה *it should become* | yiqtol · qal | אָרֶץ *land* | | | | | רַבָּה *it will become many* | weqatal · qal | חַיַּת *the animal\[s\]* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
