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, inhabitants — and what happens in the verse to covenant, thee, 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. פֶּן־תִּכְרֹ֥ת בְּרִ֖ית לְיוֹשֵׁ֣ב הָאָ֑רֶץ וְזָנ֣וּ ׀ אַחֲרֵ֣י אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֗ם וְזָבְחוּ֙ לֵאלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם וְקָרָ֣א לְךָ֔ וְאָכַלְתָּ֖ מִזִּבְחֽוֹ׃ [lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go astray after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and they call thee, and thou eat of their sacrifice;](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.1021/) ## 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:978 # text = פֶּן־תִּכְרֹ֥ת בְּרִ֖ית לְיוֹשֵׁ֣ב הָאָ֑רֶץ וְזָנ֣וּ ׀ אַחֲרֵ֣י אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֗ם וְזָבְחוּ֙ לֵאלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם וְקָרָ֣א לְךָ֔ וְאָכַלְתָּ֖ מִזִּבְחֽוֹ׃ # verse = EXO.34.15 1 פֶּן־ פֶּן SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=lest|Ref=EXO_34:15!1|MId=o020340150011|Strong=6435|SpaceAfter=No 2 תִּכְרֹ֥ת כָּרַת VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 0 root _ Gloss=you.should.make|Ref=EXO_34:15!2|MId=o020340150021|Strong=3772|Frame=A0:020340080021;020340100081;A1:020340150031;|Type=yiqtol 3 בְּרִ֖ית בְּרִית NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=a.covenant|Ref=EXO_34:15!3|MId=o020340150031|Strong=1285 4-5 לְיוֹשֵׁ֣ב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_34:15!4|MId=o020340150041|Strong=3807a 5 יוֹשֵׁ֣ב יָשַׁב VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 2 advcl _ Gloss=the.inhabitant[s]|Ref=EXO_34:15!4|MId=o020340150042|Strong=3427|Type=participle_active 6-7 הָאָ֑רֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_34:15!5|MId=o020340150051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 אָ֑רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 5 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=EXO_34:15!5|MId=o020340150052|Strong=0776 8-9 וְזָנ֣וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_34:15!6|MId=o020340150061|Strong=2050b 9 זָנ֣וּ זָנָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.prostitute.themselves|Ref=EXO_34:15!6|MId=o020340150062|Strong=2181|Frame=A0:020340150042;|Type=qatal 10 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 9 punct _ Ref=EXO_34:15!6 11 אַחֲרֵ֣י אַחַר ADP _ _ 12 case _ Gloss=after|Ref=EXO_34:15!7|MId=o020340150071|Strong=0310 12-13 אֱלֹֽהֵיהֶ֗ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֱלֹֽהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 9 obl _ Gloss=gods|Ref=EXO_34:15!8|MId=o020340150081|Strong=0430 13 הֶ֗ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EXO_34:15!8|MId=o020340150082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 14-15 וְזָבְחוּ֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_34:15!9|MId=o020340150091|Strong=2050b 15 זָבְחוּ֙ זָבַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=they.will.sacrifice|Ref=EXO_34:15!9|MId=o020340150092|Strong=2076|Frame=A0:020340150042;|Type=weqatal 16-18 לֵאלֹ֣הֵיהֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 16 לֵ לְ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_34:15!10|MId=o020340150101|Strong=3807a 17 אלֹ֣הֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 15 obl _ Gloss=gods|Ref=EXO_34:15!10|MId=o020340150102|Strong=0430 18 הֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 17 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EXO_34:15!10|MId=o020340150103|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 19-20 וְקָרָ֣א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 20 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_34:15!11|MId=o020340150111|Strong=2050b 20 קָרָ֣א קָרָא VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=someone.will.invite|Ref=EXO_34:15!11|MId=o020340150112|Strong=7121|Frame=A0:020340150042;|Type=qatal 21-22 לְךָ֔ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 ל לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EXO_34:15!12|MId=o020340150121|Strong=3807a 22 ְךָ֔ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 20 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EXO_34:15!12|MId=o020340150122|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 23-24 וְאָכַלְתָּ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 23 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 24 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_34:15!13|MId=o020340150131|Strong=2050b 24 אָכַלְתָּ֖ אָכַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 conj _ Gloss=you.will.eat|Ref=EXO_34:15!13|MId=o020340150132|Strong=0398|Frame=A0:020340080021;020340100081;|Type=qatal 25-27 מִזִּבְחֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 מִ מִן ADP _ _ 26 case _ Gloss=some|Ref=EXO_34:15!14|MId=o020340150141|Strong=4480 26 זִּבְח זֶבַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 24 obl _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_34:15!14|MId=o020340150142|Strong=2077 27 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 26 nmod:poss _ Gloss=his.sacrifice|Ref=EXO_34:15!14|MId=o020340150143|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 28 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 27 punct _ Ref=EXO_34:15!14 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּכְרֹת *you should make* | yiqtol · qal | | בְּרִית *a covenant* | | | | זָנוּ *they will prostitute themselves* | qatal · qal | יוֹשֵׁב *the inhabitant\[s\]* | | | | | זָבְחוּ *they will sacrifice* | weqatal · qal | יוֹשֵׁב *the inhabitant\[s\]* | | | | | קָרָא *someone will invite* | qatal · qal | יוֹשֵׁב *the inhabitant\[s\]* | | | | | אָכַלְתָּ *you will eat* | qatal · qal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
