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, altar, height — and what happens in the verse to altar, three cubits, 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. וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ אֶת־הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ עֲצֵ֣י שִׁטִּ֑ים חָמֵשׁ֩ אַמּ֨וֹת אֹ֜רֶךְ וְחָמֵ֧שׁ אַמּ֣וֹת רֹ֗חַב רָב֤וּעַ יִהְיֶה֙ הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ וְשָׁלֹ֥שׁ אַמּ֖וֹת קֹמָתֽוֹ׃ [And thou shalt make the altar of acacia-wood, five cubits long, and five cubits broad; the altar shall be four-square; and the height thereof shall be three cubits.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.778/) ## 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:740 # text = וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ אֶת־הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ עֲצֵ֣י שִׁטִּ֑ים חָמֵשׁ֩ אַמּ֨וֹת אֹ֜רֶךְ וְחָמֵ֧שׁ אַמּ֣וֹת רֹ֗חַב רָב֤וּעַ יִהְיֶה֙ הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ וְשָׁלֹ֥שׁ אַמּ֖וֹת קֹמָתֽוֹ׃ # verse = EXO.27.1 1-2 וְעָשִׂ֥יתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_27:1!1|MId=o020270010011|Strong=2050b 2 עָשִׂ֥יתָ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.make|Ref=EXO_27:1!1|MId=o020270010012|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:020250010041;A1:020270010032;|Type=weqatal 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_27:1!2|MId=o020270010021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַמִּזְבֵּ֖חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_27:1!3|MId=o020270010031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 מִּזְבֵּ֖חַ מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=altar|Ref=EXO_27:1!3|MId=o020270010032|Strong=4196 6 עֲצֵ֣י עֵץ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=wood(s)|Ref=EXO_27:1!4|MId=o020270010041|Strong=6086 7 שִׁטִּ֑ים שִׁטָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.acacia|Ref=EXO_27:1!5|MId=o020270010051|Strong=7848 8 חָמֵשׁ֩ חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 nummod _ Gloss=five|Ref=EXO_27:1!6|MId=o020270010061|Strong=2568|Type=cardinal_number 9 אַמּ֨וֹת אַמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 parataxis _ Gloss=cubits|Ref=EXO_27:1!7|MId=o020270010071|Strong=0520 10 אֹ֜רֶךְ אֹרֶךְ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=length|Ref=EXO_27:1!8|MId=o020270010081|Strong=0753 11-12 וְחָמֵ֧שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_27:1!9|MId=o020270010091|Strong=2050b 12 חָמֵ֧שׁ חָמֵשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 13 nummod _ Gloss=five|Ref=EXO_27:1!9|MId=o020270010092|Strong=2568|Type=cardinal_number 13 אַמּ֣וֹת אַמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=cubits|Ref=EXO_27:1!10|MId=o020270010101|Strong=0520 14 רֹ֗חַב רֹחַב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 13 nsubj _ Gloss=breadth|Ref=EXO_27:1!11|MId=o020270010111|Strong=7341 15 רָב֤וּעַ רָבַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 parataxis _ Gloss=square|Ref=EXO_27:1!12|MId=o020270010121|Strong=7251|Frame=A0:020270010142;|Type=participle_passive 16 יִהְיֶה֙ הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=EXO_27:1!13|MId=o020270010131|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020270010142;|Type=yiqtol 17-18 הַמִּזְבֵּ֔חַ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 18 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_27:1!14|MId=o020270010141|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 18 מִּזְבֵּ֔חַ מִזְבֵּחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=altar|Ref=EXO_27:1!14|MId=o020270010142|Strong=4196 19-20 וְשָׁלֹ֥שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 21 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_27:1!15|MId=o020270010151|Strong=2050b 20 שָׁלֹ֥שׁ שָׁלֹשׁ NUM _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 nummod _ Gloss=[will.be].three|Ref=EXO_27:1!15|MId=o020270010152|Strong=7969|Type=cardinal_number 21 אַמּ֖וֹת אַמָּה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 conj _ Gloss=cubits|Ref=EXO_27:1!16|MId=o020270010161|Strong=0520 22-23 קֹמָתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 קֹמָת קוֹמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 21 nsubj _ Gloss=height|Ref=EXO_27:1!17|MId=o020270010171|Strong=6967 23 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EXO_27:1!17|MId=o020270010172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=EXO_27:1!17 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | עָשִׂיתָ *you will make* | weqatal · qal | | מִּזְבֵּחַ *altar* | | | | רָבוּעַ *square* | participle passive · qal | מִּזְבֵּחַ *altar* | | | | | יִהְיֶה *it will be* | yiqtol · qal | מִּזְבֵּחַ *altar* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
