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 — rich, poor, children — and what happens in the verse to offering, atonement, LORD, 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. הֶֽעָשִׁ֣יר לֹֽא־יַרְבֶּ֗ה וְהַדַּל֙ לֹ֣א יַמְעִ֔יט מִֽמַּחֲצִ֖ית הַשָּׁ֑קֶל לָתֵת֙ אֶת־תְּרוּמַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה לְכַפֵּ֖ר עַל־נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶֽם׃ [The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of the LORD, to make atonement for your souls.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.903/) ## 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:864 # text = הֶֽעָשִׁ֣יר לֹֽא־יַרְבֶּ֗ה וְהַדַּל֙ לֹ֣א יַמְעִ֔יט מִֽמַּחֲצִ֖ית הַשָּׁ֑קֶל לָתֵת֙ אֶת־תְּרוּמַ֣ת יְהוָ֔ה לְכַפֵּ֖ר עַל־נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶֽם׃ # verse = EXO.30.15 1-2 הֶֽעָשִׁ֣יר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 הֶֽ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 2 det _ Gloss=the.rich|Ref=EXO_30:15!1|MId=o020300150011|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 2 עָשִׁ֣יר עָשִׁיר ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 4 nsubj _ Gloss=[person]|Ref=EXO_30:15!1|MId=o020300150012|Strong=6223|Type=adjective 3 לֹֽא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 4 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EXO_30:15!2|MId=o020300150021|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 4 יַרְבֶּ֗ה רָבָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.will.make.much|Ref=EXO_30:15!3|MId=o020300150031|Strong=7235|Frame=A0:020300150012;|Type=yiqtol 5-7 וְהַדַּל֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_30:15!4|MId=o020300150041|Strong=2050b 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=the.poor|Ref=EXO_30:15!4|MId=o020300150042|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 דַּל֙ דַּל ADJ _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 nsubj _ Gloss=[person]|Ref=EXO_30:15!4|MId=o020300150043|Strong=1800|Type=adjective 8 לֹ֣א לֹא ADV _ _ 9 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EXO_30:15!5|MId=o020300150051|Strong=3808|Type=negative 9 יַמְעִ֔יט מָעַט VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=3 4 conj _ Gloss=he.will.make.little|Ref=EXO_30:15!6|MId=o020300150061|Strong=4591|Frame=A0:020300150043;|Type=yiqtol 10-11 מִֽמַּחֲצִ֖ית _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 מִֽ מִן ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=more|Ref=EXO_30:15!7|MId=o020300150071|Strong=4480 11 מַּחֲצִ֖ית מַחֲצִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=than.(the).half|Ref=EXO_30:15!7|MId=o020300150072|Strong=4276 12-13 הַשָּׁ֑קֶל _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 13 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_30:15!8|MId=o020300150081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 13 שָּׁ֑קֶל שֶׁקֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.shekel|Ref=EXO_30:15!8|MId=o020300150082|Strong=8255 14-15 לָתֵת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EXO_30:15!9|MId=o020300150091|Strong=3807a 15 תֵת֙ נָתַן VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 9 advcl _ Gloss=paying|Ref=EXO_30:15!9|MId=o020300150092|Strong=5414|Frame=A0:020300110041;020300120051;A1:020300150111;|Type=infinitive_construct 16 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_30:15!10|MId=o020300150101|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 17 תְּרוּמַ֣ת תְּרוּמָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 15 obj _ Gloss=the.contribution|Ref=EXO_30:15!11|MId=o020300150111|Strong=8641 18 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=EXO_30:15!12|MId=o020300150121|Strong=3068 19-20 לְכַפֵּ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_30:15!13|MId=o020300150131|Strong=3807a 20 כַפֵּ֖ר כִּפֶּר VERB _ HebBinyan=PIEL 15 xcomp _ Gloss=make.atonement|Ref=EXO_30:15!13|MId=o020300150132|Strong=3722|Frame=A0:020300110041;020300120051;|Type=infinitive_construct 21 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_30:15!14|MId=o020300150141|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 נַפְשֹׁתֵיכֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 נַפְשֹׁתֵי נֶפֶשׁ NOUN _ Number=Plur 20 obl _ Gloss=selves|Ref=EXO_30:15!15|MId=o020300150151|Strong=5315 23 כֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 22 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_30:15!15|MId=o020300150152|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 24 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 23 punct _ Ref=EXO_30:15!15 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: yes | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **not** יַרְבֶּה *he will make much* | yiqtol · hiphil | עָשִׁיר *\[person\]* | | | | | **not** יַמְעִיט *he will make little* | yiqtol · hiphil | דַּל *\[person\]* | | | | | תֵת *paying* | infinitive construct · qal | | תְּרוּמַת *the contribution* | | | | כַפֵּר *make atonement* | infinitive construct · piel | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
