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, skilful workman, ephod — and what happens in the verse to breastplate, work, 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. וְעָשִׂ֜יתָ חֹ֤שֶׁן מִשְׁפָּט֙ מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה חֹשֵׁ֔ב כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה אֵפֹ֖ד תַּעֲשֶׂ֑נּוּ זָ֠הָב תְּכֵ֨לֶת וְאַרְגָּמָ֜ן וְתוֹלַ֧עַת שָׁנִ֛י וְשֵׁ֥שׁ מָשְׁזָ֖ר תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה אֹתֽוֹ׃ [And thou shalt make a breastplate of judgment, the work of the skilful workman; like the work of the ephod thou shalt make it: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, shalt thou make it.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.813/) ## 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:775 # text = וְעָשִׂ֜יתָ חֹ֤שֶׁן מִשְׁפָּט֙ מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה חֹשֵׁ֔ב כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה אֵפֹ֖ד תַּעֲשֶׂ֑נּוּ זָ֠הָב תְּכֵ֨לֶת וְאַרְגָּמָ֜ן וְתוֹלַ֧עַת שָׁנִ֛י וְשֵׁ֥שׁ מָשְׁזָ֖ר תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה אֹתֽוֹ׃ # verse = EXO.28.15 1-2 וְעָשִׂ֜יתָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_28:15!1|MId=o020280150011|Strong=2050b 2 עָשִׂ֜יתָ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.make|Ref=EXO_28:15!1|MId=o020280150012|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:020250010041;A1:020280150021;|Type=weqatal 3 חֹ֤שֶׁן חֹשֶׁן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.breastpiece|Ref=EXO_28:15!2|MId=o020280150021|Strong=2833 4 מִשְׁפָּט֙ מִשְׁפָּט NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 3 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.judgment|Ref=EXO_28:15!3|MId=o020280150031|Strong=4941 5 מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 xcomp _ Gloss=[the].work|Ref=EXO_28:15!4|MId=o020280150041|Strong=4639 6 חֹשֵׁ֔ב חָשַׁב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.skillful.worker|Ref=EXO_28:15!5|MId=o020280150051|Strong=2803a|Type=participle_active 7-8 כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֥ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=EXO_28:15!6|MId=o020280150061|Strong=3509a 8 מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 obl _ Gloss=work|Ref=EXO_28:15!6|MId=o020280150062|Strong=4639 9 אֵפֹ֖ד אֵפֹד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].ephod|Ref=EXO_28:15!7|MId=o020280150071|Strong=0646 10-11 תַּעֲשֶׂ֑נּוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 תַּעֲשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you|Ref=EXO_28:15!8|MId=o020280150081|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:020250010041;A1:020280150082;|Type=yiqtol 11 ֶ֑נּוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 10 obj _ Gloss=will.make.it|Ref=EXO_28:15!8|MId=o020280150082|Strong=5105b|Type=pronominal 12 זָ֠הָב זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 22 obl _ Gloss=gold|Ref=EXO_28:15!9|MId=o020280150091|Strong=2091 13 תְּכֵ֨לֶת תְּכֵלֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=violet.stuff|Ref=EXO_28:15!10|MId=o020280150101|Strong=8504 14-15 וְאַרְגָּמָ֜ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_28:15!11|MId=o020280150111|Strong=2050b 15 אַרְגָּמָ֜ן אַרְגָּמָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=purple|Ref=EXO_28:15!11|MId=o020280150112|Strong=0713 16-17 וְתוֹלַ֧עַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 17 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_28:15!12|MId=o020280150121|Strong=2050b 17 תוֹלַ֧עַת תֹּולַעַת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=scarlet.stuff|Ref=EXO_28:15!12|MId=o020280150122|Strong=8438 18 שָׁנִ֛י שָׁנִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.scarlet|Ref=EXO_28:15!13|MId=o020280150131|Strong=8144 19-20 וְשֵׁ֥שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_28:15!14|MId=o020280150141|Strong=2050b 20 שֵׁ֥שׁ שֵׁשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 conj _ Gloss=fine.linen|Ref=EXO_28:15!14|MId=o020280150142|Strong=8336|Type=cardinal_number 21 מָשְׁזָ֖ר שָׁזַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing 20 nmod _ Gloss=twisted|Ref=EXO_28:15!15|MId=o020280150151|Strong=7806|Frame=A1:020280150142;|Type=participle_passive 22 תַּעֲשֶׂ֥ה עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you.will.make|Ref=EXO_28:15!16|MId=o020280150161|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:020250010041;A1:020280150172;|Type=yiqtol 23-24 אֹתֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 24 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EXO_28:15!17|MId=o020280150171|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 24 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 22 obj _ Gloss=it|Ref=EXO_28:15!17|MId=o020280150172|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 25 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 24 punct _ Ref=EXO_28:15!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 | | חֹשֶׁן *a breastpiece* | | | | תַּעֲשׂ *you* | yiqtol · qal | | ֶנּוּ *will make it* | | | | מָשְׁזָר *twisted* | participle passive · hophal | | שֵׁשׁ *fine linen* | | | | תַּעֲשֶׂה *you will make* | yiqtol · qal | | ֽוֹ *it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
