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 — LORD, skilful workman, ephod — and what happens in the verse to breastplate, 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. וַיַּ֧עַשׂ אֶת־הַחֹ֛שֶׁן מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה חֹשֵׁ֖ב כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה אֵפֹ֑ד זָהָ֗ב תְּכֵ֧לֶת וְאַרְגָּמָ֛ן וְתוֹלַ֥עַת שָׁנִ֖י וְשֵׁ֥שׁ מָשְׁזָֽר׃ [And he made the breastplate, the work of the skilful workman, like the work of the ephod: of gold, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.1191/) ## 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:1139 # text = וַיַּ֧עַשׂ אֶת־הַחֹ֛שֶׁן מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה חֹשֵׁ֖ב כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה אֵפֹ֑ד זָהָ֗ב תְּכֵ֧לֶת וְאַרְגָּמָ֛ן וְתוֹלַ֥עַת שָׁנִ֖י וְשֵׁ֥שׁ מָשְׁזָֽר׃ # verse = EXO.39.8 1-2 וַיַּ֧עַשׂ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_39:8!1|MId=o020390080011|Strong=2050b 2 יַּ֧עַשׂ עָשָׂה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.made|Ref=EXO_39:8!1|MId=o020390080012|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:020380220012;A1:020390080032;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_39:8!2|MId=o020390080021|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 4-5 הַחֹ֛שֶׁן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_39:8!3|MId=o020390080031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 חֹ֛שֶׁן חֹשֶׁן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=breastpiece|Ref=EXO_39:8!3|MId=o020390080032|Strong=2833 6 מַעֲשֵׂ֥ה מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 5 appos _ Gloss=[the].work|Ref=EXO_39:8!4|MId=o020390080041|Strong=4639 7 חֹשֵׁ֖ב חָשַׁב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 6 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.skillful.worker|Ref=EXO_39:8!5|MId=o020390080051|Strong=2803a|Type=participle_active 8-9 כְּמַעֲשֵׂ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 כְּ כְּ ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=like.[the]|Ref=EXO_39:8!6|MId=o020390080061|Strong=3509a 9 מַעֲשֵׂ֣ה מַעֲשֶׂה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=work|Ref=EXO_39:8!6|MId=o020390080062|Strong=4639 10 אֵפֹ֑ד אֵפֹד NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.[the].ephod|Ref=EXO_39:8!7|MId=o020390080071|Strong=0646 11 זָהָ֗ב זָהָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=gold|Ref=EXO_39:8!8|MId=o020390080081|Strong=2091 12 תְּכֵ֧לֶת תְּכֵלֶת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=violet.stuff|Ref=EXO_39:8!9|MId=o020390080091|Strong=8504 13-14 וְאַרְגָּמָ֛ן _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_39:8!10|MId=o020390080101|Strong=2050b 14 אַרְגָּמָ֛ן אַרְגָּמָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=purple|Ref=EXO_39:8!10|MId=o020390080102|Strong=0713 15-16 וְתוֹלַ֥עַת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_39:8!11|MId=o020390080111|Strong=2050b 16 תוֹלַ֥עַת תֹּולַעַת NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=scarlet.stuff|Ref=EXO_39:8!11|MId=o020390080112|Strong=8438 17 שָׁנִ֖י שָׁנִי NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.scarlet|Ref=EXO_39:8!12|MId=o020390080121|Strong=8144 18-19 וְשֵׁ֥שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_39:8!13|MId=o020390080131|Strong=2050b 19 שֵׁ֥שׁ שֵׁשׁ NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 11 conj _ Gloss=fine.linen|Ref=EXO_39:8!13|MId=o020390080132|Strong=8336|Type=cardinal_number 20 מָשְׁזָֽר שָׁזַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HOPHAL|Number=Sing 19 nmod _ Gloss=twisted|Ref=EXO_39:8!14|MId=o020390080141|Strong=7806|Frame=A1:020390080132;|Type=participle_passive|SpaceAfter=No 21 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 20 punct _ Ref=EXO_39:8!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 | | חֹשֶׁן *breastpiece* | | | | מָשְׁזָֽר *twisted* | participle passive · hophal | | שֵׁשׁ *fine linen* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
