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, children, plague — and what happens in the verse to sum, ransom, man, children, 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. כִּ֣י תִשָּׂ֞א אֶת־רֹ֥אשׁ בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ללִפְקֻדֵיהֶם֒ וְנָ֨תְנ֜וּ אִ֣ישׁ כֹּ֧פֶר נַפְשׁ֛וֹ לַיהוָ֖ה בִּפְקֹ֣ד אֹתָ֑ם וְלֹא־יִהְיֶ֥ה בָהֶ֛ם נֶ֖גֶף בִּפְקֹ֥ד אֹתָֽם׃ ['When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel, according to their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.900/) ## 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:861 # text = כִּ֣י תִשָּׂ֞א אֶת־רֹ֥אשׁ בְּנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ללִפְקֻדֵיהֶם֒ וְנָ֨תְנ֜וּ אִ֣ישׁ כֹּ֧פֶר נַפְשׁ֛וֹ לַיהוָ֖ה בִּפְקֹ֣ד אֹתָ֑ם וְלֹא־יִהְיֶ֥ה בָהֶ֛ם נֶ֖גֶף בִּפְקֹ֥ד אֹתָֽם׃ # verse = EXO.30.12 1 כִּ֣י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EXO_30:12!1|MId=o020300120011|Strong=3588 2 תִשָּׂ֞א נָשָׂא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.will.lift.up|Ref=EXO_30:12!2|MId=o020300120021|Strong=5375|Frame=A0:020300110041;A1:020300120041;|Type=yiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 4 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_30:12!3|MId=o020300120031|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4 רֹ֥אשׁ רֹאשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=the.head|Ref=EXO_30:12!4|MId=o020300120041|Strong=7218 5 בְּנֵֽי־ בֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 4 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.people|Ref=EXO_30:12!5|MId=o020300120051|Strong=1121|SpaceAfter=No 6-9 יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ללִפְקֻדֵיהֶם֒ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 יִשְׂרָאֵ֘ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EXO_30:12!6|MId=o020300120061|Strong=3478 7 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_30:12!7|MId=o020300120071|Strong=3807a 8 פְקֻדֵי פָּקַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 2 advcl _ Gloss=[those|Ref=EXO_30:12!7|MId=o020300120072|Strong=6485|Type=participle_passive 9 הֶם֒ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 8 nmod:poss _ Gloss=who.are].enrolled.of.them|Ref=EXO_30:12!7|MId=o020300120073|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 10-11 וְנָ֨תְנ֜וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 11 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_30:12!8|MId=o020300120081|Strong=2050b 11 נָ֨תְנ֜וּ נָתַן VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.give|Ref=EXO_30:12!8|MId=o020300120082|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:020300120051;A1:020300120101;|Type=weqatal 12 אִ֣ישׁ אִישׁ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obl _ Gloss=everyone|Ref=EXO_30:12!9|MId=o020300120091|Strong=0376 13 כֹּ֧פֶר כֹּפֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 obj _ Gloss=the.ransom|Ref=EXO_30:12!10|MId=o020300120101|Strong=3724c 14-15 נַפְשׁ֛וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 נַפְשׁ נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=his.life|Ref=EXO_30:12!11|MId=o020300120111|Strong=5315 15 ֛וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his|Ref=EXO_30:12!11|MId=o020300120112|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 16-17 לַיהוָ֖ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_30:12!12|MId=o020300120121|Strong=3807a 17 יהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 11 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_30:12!12|MId=o020300120122|Strong=3068 18-19 בִּפְקֹ֣ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=EXO_30:12!13|MId=o020300120131|Strong=0871a 19 פְקֹ֣ד פָּקַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 11 xcomp _ Gloss=enroll|Ref=EXO_30:12!13|MId=o020300120132|Strong=6485|Frame=A0:020300110041;A1:020300120142;|Type=infinitive_construct 20-21 אֹתָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 21 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EXO_30:12!14|MId=o020300120141|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 21 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 19 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=EXO_30:12!14|MId=o020300120142|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 22-23 וְלֹא־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 26 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_30:12!15|MId=o020300120151|Strong=2050b 23 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 26 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EXO_30:12!15|MId=o020300120152|Strong=3808|Type=negative 24 יִהְיֶ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 26 cop _ Gloss=it.will.be|Ref=EXO_30:12!16|MId=o020300120161|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020300120181;|Type=yiqtol 25-26 בָהֶ֛ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 ב בְּ ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=among|Ref=EXO_30:12!17|MId=o020300120171|Strong=0871a 26 ָהֶ֛ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 2 conj _ Gloss=them|Ref=EXO_30:12!17|MId=o020300120172|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 27 נֶ֖גֶף נֶגֶף NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 26 nsubj _ Gloss=a.plague|Ref=EXO_30:12!18|MId=o020300120181|Strong=5063 28-29 בִּפְקֹ֥ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 בִּ בְּ ADP _ _ 29 case _ Gloss=when|Ref=EXO_30:12!19|MId=o020300120191|Strong=0871a 29 פְקֹ֥ד פָּקַד VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 26 advcl _ Gloss=enroll|Ref=EXO_30:12!19|MId=o020300120192|Strong=6485|Frame=A0:020300110041;A1:020300120202;|Type=infinitive_construct 30-31 אֹתָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 אֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EXO_30:12!20|MId=o020300120201|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 31 ָֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 29 obj _ Gloss=them|Ref=EXO_30:12!20|MId=o020300120202|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EXO_30:12!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
