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 — appearance, LORD — and what happens in the verse to top, 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. וּמַרְאֵה֙ כְּב֣וֹד יְהוָ֔ה כְּאֵ֥שׁ אֹכֶ֖לֶת בְּרֹ֣אשׁ הָהָ֑ר לְעֵינֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ [And the appearance of the glory of the LORD was like devouring fire on the top of the mount in the eyes of the children of Israel.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.699/) ## 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:661 # text = וּמַרְאֵה֙ כְּב֣וֹד יְהוָ֔ה כְּאֵ֥שׁ אֹכֶ֖לֶת בְּרֹ֣אשׁ הָהָ֑ר לְעֵינֵ֖י בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃ # verse = EXO.24.17 1-2 וּמַרְאֵה֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 6 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_24:17!1|MId=o020240170011|Strong=2050b 2 מַרְאֵה֙ מַרְאֶה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the.appearance|Ref=EXO_24:17!1|MId=o020240170012|Strong=4758 3 כְּב֣וֹד כָּבוֹד NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.glory|Ref=EXO_24:17!2|MId=o020240170021|Strong=3519 4 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=EXO_24:17!3|MId=o020240170031|Strong=3068 5-6 כְּאֵ֥שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=[was].like|Ref=EXO_24:17!4|MId=o020240170041|Strong=3509a 6 אֵ֥שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=a.fire|Ref=EXO_24:17!4|MId=o020240170042|Strong=0784 7 אֹכֶ֖לֶת אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 6 nmod _ Gloss=consuming|Ref=EXO_24:17!5|MId=o020240170051|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:020240170042;|Type=participle_active 8-9 בְּרֹ֣אשׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_24:17!6|MId=o020240170061|Strong=0871a 9 רֹ֣אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nmod _ Gloss=the.top|Ref=EXO_24:17!6|MId=o020240170062|Strong=7218 10-11 הָהָ֑ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_24:17!7|MId=o020240170071|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 הָ֑ר הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.mountain|Ref=EXO_24:17!7|MId=o020240170072|Strong=2022 12-13 לְעֵינֵ֖י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_24:17!8|MId=o020240170081|Strong=3807a 13 עֵינֵ֖י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 6 obl _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=EXO_24:17!8|MId=o020240170082|Strong=5869 14 בְּנֵ֥י בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.people|Ref=EXO_24:17!9|MId=o020240170091|Strong=1121 15 יִשְׂרָאֵֽל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 14 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EXO_24:17!10|MId=o020240170101|Strong=3478|SpaceAfter=No 16 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 15 punct _ Ref=EXO_24:17!10 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אֹכֶלֶת *consuming* | participle active · qal | אֵשׁ *a fire* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
