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 — they, LORD — and what happens in the verse, 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. לְמַ֣עַן יַאֲמִ֔ינוּ כִּֽי־נִרְאָ֥ה אֵלֶ֛יךָ יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֲבֹתָ֑ם אֱלֹהֵ֧י אַבְרָהָ֛ם אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִצְחָ֖ק וֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃ [that they may believe that the LORD, the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.83/) ## 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:73 # text = לְמַ֣עַן יַאֲמִ֔ינוּ כִּֽי־נִרְאָ֥ה אֵלֶ֛יךָ יְהוָ֖ה אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֲבֹתָ֑ם אֱלֹהֵ֧י אַבְרָהָ֛ם אֱלֹהֵ֥י יִצְחָ֖ק וֵאלֹהֵ֥י יַעֲקֹֽב׃ # verse = EXO.4.5 1 לְמַ֣עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 2 mark _ Gloss=so.that|Ref=EXO_4:5!1|MId=o020040050011|Strong=4616 2 יַאֲמִ֔ינוּ אָמַן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=they.may.believe|Ref=EXO_4:5!2|MId=o020040050021|Strong=0539|Frame=AA:020030210042;A0:020040050041;|Type=yiqtol 3 כִּֽי־ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 4 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=EXO_4:5!3|MId=o020040050031|Strong=3588|SpaceAfter=No 4 נִרְאָ֥ה רָאָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 2 ccomp _ Gloss=he.appeared|Ref=EXO_4:5!4|MId=o020040050041|Strong=7200|Frame=A1:020040050061;|Type=qatal 5-6 אֵלֶ֛יךָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 אֵלֶ֛י אֶל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_4:5!5|MId=o020040050051|Strong=0413 6 ךָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 4 obl _ Gloss=you|Ref=EXO_4:5!5|MId=o020040050052|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 7 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 4 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_4:5!6|MId=o020040050061|Strong=3068 8 אֱלֹהֵ֣י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=EXO_4:5!7|MId=o020040050071|Strong=0430 9-10 אֲבֹתָ֑ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אֲבֹת אָב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 8 compound:smixut _ Gloss=ancestors|Ref=EXO_4:5!8|MId=o020040050081|Strong=0001 10 ָ֑ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 9 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EXO_4:5!8|MId=o020040050082|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 11 אֱלֹהֵ֧י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 7 appos _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=EXO_4:5!9|MId=o020040050091|Strong=0430 12 אַבְרָהָ֛ם אַבְרָהָם PROPN _ _ 11 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Abraham|Ref=EXO_4:5!10|MId=o020040050101|Strong=0085 13 אֱלֹהֵ֥י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 conj _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=EXO_4:5!11|MId=o020040050111|Strong=0430 14 יִצְחָ֖ק יִצְחָק PROPN _ _ 13 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Isaac|Ref=EXO_4:5!12|MId=o020040050121|Strong=3327 15-16 וֵאלֹהֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 וֵ וְ CCONJ _ _ 16 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_4:5!13|MId=o020040050131|Strong=2050b 16 אלֹהֵ֥י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 conj _ Gloss=the.God|Ref=EXO_4:5!13|MId=o020040050132|Strong=0430 17 יַעֲקֹֽב יַעֲקֹב PROPN _ _ 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Jacob|Ref=EXO_4:5!14|MId=o020040050141|Strong=3290|SpaceAfter=No 18 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 17 punct _ Ref=EXO_4:5!14 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - voice: narrator - speech: narration - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יַאֲמִינוּ *they may believe* | yiqtol · hiphil | נִרְאָה *he appeared* | | | | | נִרְאָה *he appeared* | qatal · niphal | | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
