# Exodus 4:14 שְׁמוֹת

<!-- .vintro -->
**Who acts:** lord, Aaron, I · **What happens:** kindle, say, not be, anger, know, speak · **To what, where:** anger, thee, heart · **Speech:** someone speaks in this verse

<!-- .vabout -->
This is Exodus 4:14 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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, Aaron, I — and what happens in the verse to anger, thee, heart, 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.

<!-- .note -->
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.
