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 — he, serving women — and what happens in the verse to laver, service, door, 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. וַיַּ֗עַשׂ אֵ֚ת הַכִּיּ֣וֹר נְחֹ֔שֶׁת וְאֵ֖ת כַּנּ֣וֹ נְחֹ֑שֶׁת בְּמַרְאֹת֙ הַצֹּ֣בְאֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֣ר צָֽבְא֔וּ פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃ס [And he made the laver of brass, and the base thereof of brass, of the mirrors of the serving women that did service at the door of the tent of meeting.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.1160/) ## 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:1108 # text = וַיַּ֗עַשׂ אֵ֚ת הַכִּיּ֣וֹר נְחֹ֔שֶׁת וְאֵ֖ת כַּנּ֣וֹ נְחֹ֑שֶׁת בְּמַרְאֹת֙ הַצֹּ֣בְאֹ֔ת אֲשֶׁ֣ר צָֽבְא֔וּ פֶּ֖תַח אֹ֥הֶל מוֹעֵֽד׃ס # verse = EXO.38.8 1-2 וַיַּ֗עַשׂ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_38:8!1|MId=o020380080011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֗עַשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.made|Ref=EXO_38:8!1|MId=o020380080012|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:020370010021;A1:020380080032;020380080061;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֵ֚ת אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_38:8!2|MId=o020380080021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 4-5 הַכִּיּ֣וֹר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_38:8!3|MId=o020380080031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 כִּיּ֣וֹר כִּיֹּור NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=laver|Ref=EXO_38:8!3|MId=o020380080032|Strong=3595 6 נְחֹ֔שֶׁת נְחֹשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=bronze|Ref=EXO_38:8!4|MId=o020380080041|Strong=5178 7-8 וְאֵ֖ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_38:8!5|MId=o020380080051|Strong=2050b 8 אֵ֖ת אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_38:8!5|MId=o020380080052|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 9-10 כַּנּ֣וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 כַּנּ כֵּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 conj _ Gloss=base|Ref=EXO_38:8!6|MId=o020380080061|Strong=3653 10 ֣וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=its|Ref=EXO_38:8!6|MId=o020380080062|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 11 נְחֹ֑שֶׁת נְחֹשֶׁת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 9 appos _ Gloss=bronze|Ref=EXO_38:8!7|MId=o020380080071|Strong=5178 12-13 בְּמַרְאֹת֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EXO_38:8!8|MId=o020380080081|Strong=0871a 13 מַרְאֹת֙ מַרְאָה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Plur 2 obl _ Gloss=the.mirrors|Ref=EXO_38:8!8|MId=o020380080082|Strong=4759a 14-15 הַצֹּ֣בְאֹ֔ת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 הַ הַ SCONJ _ _ 15 mark _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_38:8!9|MId=o020380080091|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 15 צֹּ֣בְאֹ֔ת צָבָא VERB _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.serving.[women]|Ref=EXO_38:8!9|MId=o020380080092|Strong=6633|Type=participle_active 16 אֲשֶׁ֣ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 17 mark _ Gloss=who|Ref=EXO_38:8!10|MId=o020380080101|Strong=0834|Type=relative 17 צָֽבְא֔וּ צָבָא VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 15 acl:relcl _ Gloss=they.served|Ref=EXO_38:8!11|MId=o020380080111|Strong=6633|Frame=A0:020380080092;|Type=qatal 18 פֶּ֖תַח פֶּתַח NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 17 obl _ Gloss=the.entrance|Ref=EXO_38:8!12|MId=o020380080121|Strong=6607 19 אֹ֥הֶל אֹהֶל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 18 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.the.tent|Ref=EXO_38:8!13|MId=o020380080131|Strong=0168 20 מוֹעֵֽד מוֹעֵד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.meeting|Ref=EXO_38:8!14|MId=o020380080141|Strong=4150|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=EXO_38:8!14|SpaceAfter=No 22 ס ס PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=EXO_38:8!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: narrate - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַּעַשׂ *he made* | wayyiqtol · qal | | כִּיּוֹר *laver* + כַּנּ *base* | | | | צָֽבְאוּ *they served* | qatal · qal | צֹּבְאֹת *the serving \[women\]* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
