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 — and what happens in the verse to Aaron, wilderness, Moses, lord, mountain, 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. וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֔ן לֵ֛ךְ לִקְרַ֥את מֹשֶׁ֖ה הַמִּדְבָּ֑רָה וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ וַֽיִּפְגְּשֵׁ֛הוּ בְּהַ֥ר הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים וַיִּשַּׁק־לֽוֹ׃ [And the LORD said to Aaron: 'Go into the wilderness to meet Moses.' And he went, and met him in the mountain of God, and kissed him.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.109/) ## 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:95 # text = וַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהוָה֙ אֶֽל־אַהֲרֹ֔ן לֵ֛ךְ לִקְרַ֥את מֹשֶׁ֖ה הַמִּדְבָּ֑רָה וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ וַֽיִּפְגְּשֵׁ֛הוּ בְּהַ֥ר הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים וַיִּשַּׁק־לֽוֹ׃ # verse = EXO.4.27 1-2 וַיֹּ֤אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_4:27!1|MId=o020040270011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֤אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=EXO_4:27!1|MId=o020040270012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:020040270021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָה֙ יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_4:27!2|MId=o020040270021|Strong=3068 4 אֶֽל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_4:27!3|MId=o020040270031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 אַהֲרֹ֔ן אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Aaron|Ref=EXO_4:27!4|MId=o020040270041|Strong=0175 6 לֵ֛ךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=go|Ref=EXO_4:27!5|MId=o020040270051|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:020040270041;|Type=imperative 7-8 לִקְרַ֥את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 לִ לְ ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_4:27!6|MId=o020040270061|Strong=3807a 8 קְרַ֥את קרא VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 6 advcl _ Gloss=meet|Ref=EXO_4:27!6|MId=o020040270062|Strong=7122|Frame=A0:020040270041;A1:020040270071;|Type=infinitive_construct 9 מֹשֶׁ֖ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 8 obj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=EXO_4:27!7|MId=o020040270071|Strong=4872 10-12 הַמִּדְבָּ֑רָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 11 det _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_4:27!8|MId=o020040270081|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 11 מִּדְבָּ֑ר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_4:27!8|MId=o020040270082|Strong=4057 12 ָה ה X _ _ 11 nmod _ Gloss=wilderness|Ref=EXO_4:27!8|MId=o020040270083|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 13-14 וַיֵּ֗לֶךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 14 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_4:27!9|MId=o020040270091|Strong=2050b 14 יֵּ֗לֶךְ הלך VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.went|Ref=EXO_4:27!9|MId=o020040270092|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:020040270041;|Type=wayyiqtol 15-17 וַֽיִּפְגְּשֵׁ֛הוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וַֽ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_4:27!10|MId=o020040270101|Strong=2050b 16 יִּפְגְּשׁ פָּגַשׁ VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_4:27!10|MId=o020040270102|Strong=6298|Frame=A0:020040270041;A1:020040270103;|Type=wayyiqtol 17 ֵ֛הוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 16 obj _ Gloss=met.him|Ref=EXO_4:27!10|MId=o020040270103|Strong=1930a|Type=pronominal 18-19 בְּהַ֥ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=at|Ref=EXO_4:27!11|MId=o020040270111|Strong=0871a 19 הַ֥ר הַר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 obl _ Gloss=the.mountain|Ref=EXO_4:27!11|MId=o020040270112|Strong=2022 20-21 הָאֱלֹהִ֖ים _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 20 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 21 det _ Gloss=of.(the)|Ref=EXO_4:27!12|MId=o020040270121|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 21 אֱלֹהִ֖ים אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 19 compound:smixut _ Gloss=God|Ref=EXO_4:27!12|MId=o020040270122|Strong=0430 22-23 וַיִּשַּׁק־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 23 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_4:27!13|MId=o020040270131|Strong=2050b 23 יִּשַּׁק־ נָשַׁק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 conj _ Gloss=he.kissed|Ref=EXO_4:27!13|MId=o020040270132|Strong=5401|Frame=A0:020040270041;|Type=wayyiqtol 24-25 לֽוֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 ל לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=(to)|Ref=EXO_4:27!14|MId=o020040270141|Strong=3807a 25 ֽוֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=him|Ref=EXO_4:27!14|MId=o020040270142|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=EXO_4:27!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | לֵךְ *go* | imperative · qal | אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* | | | | | קְרַאת *meet* | infinitive construct · qal | אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | | | | יֵּלֶךְ *he went* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* | | | | | יִּפְגְּשׁ *he* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* | ֵהוּ *met him* | | | | יִּשַּׁק־ *he kissed* | wayyiqtol · qal | אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
