# Exodus 24:12 שְׁמוֹת

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** LORD, I, thou · **What happens:** say, come up, be, give, write, teach · **To what, where:** Me, mount, tables, thee, commandment · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Exodus 24:12 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 — LORD, I, thou — and what happens in the verse to Me, mount, tables, thee, commandment, 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.

[And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Come up to Me into the mount and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, and the law and the commandment, which I have written, that thou mayest teach them.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.694/)

## The tree {#tree}

<!-- .note -->
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.
