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 — cloud, fire, children — and what happens in the verse to sight, LORD, house, 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. כִּי֩ עֲנַ֨ן יְהוָ֤ה עַֽל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן֙ יוֹמָ֔ם וְאֵ֕שׁ תִּהְיֶ֥ה לַ֖יְלָה בּ֑וֹ לְעֵינֵ֥י כָל־בֵּֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּכָל־מַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃ [For the cloud of the LORD was upon the tabernacle by day, and there was fire therein by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys. —](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.1266/) ## 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:1212 # text = כִּי֩ עֲנַ֨ן יְהוָ֤ה עַֽל־הַמִּשְׁכָּן֙ יוֹמָ֔ם וְאֵ֕שׁ תִּהְיֶ֥ה לַ֖יְלָה בּ֑וֹ לְעֵינֵ֥י כָל־בֵּֽית־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בְּכָל־מַסְעֵיהֶֽם׃ # verse = EXO.40.38 1 כִּי֩ כִּי SCONJ _ _ 6 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EXO_40:38!1|MId=o020400380011|Strong=3588 2 עֲנַ֨ן עָנָן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 6 nsubj _ Gloss=the.cloud|Ref=EXO_40:38!2|MId=o020400380021|Strong=6051 3 יְהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Yahweh|Ref=EXO_40:38!3|MId=o020400380031|Strong=3068 4 עַֽל־ עַל ADP _ _ 6 case _ Gloss=[was].over|Ref=EXO_40:38!4|MId=o020400380041|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 הַמִּשְׁכָּן֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 6 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_40:38!5|MId=o020400380051|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 6 מִּשְׁכָּן֙ מִשְׁכָּן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 0 root _ Gloss=tabernacle|Ref=EXO_40:38!5|MId=o020400380052|Strong=4908 7 יוֹמָ֔ם יוֹמָם ADV _ _ 6 advmod _ Gloss=by.day|Ref=EXO_40:38!6|MId=o020400380061|Strong=3119 8-9 וְאֵ֕שׁ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 15 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_40:38!7|MId=o020400380071|Strong=2050b 9 אֵ֕שׁ אֵשׁ NOUN _ Number=Sing 15 nsubj _ Gloss=fire|Ref=EXO_40:38!7|MId=o020400380072|Strong=0784 10 תִּהְיֶ֥ה הָיָה AUX _ Gender=Fem|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 15 cop _ Gloss=it.was|Ref=EXO_40:38!8|MId=o020400380081|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020400380072;|Type=yiqtol 11 לַ֖יְלָה לַיְלָה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=night|Ref=EXO_40:38!9|MId=o020400380091|Strong=3915 12-13 בּ֑וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 בּ בְּ ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_40:38!10|MId=o020400380101|Strong=0871a 13 ֑וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 15 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=EXO_40:38!10|MId=o020400380102|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 14-15 לְעֵינֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 15 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_40:38!11|MId=o020400380111|Strong=3807a 15 עֵינֵ֥י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 6 conj _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=EXO_40:38!11|MId=o020400380112|Strong=5869 16 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.all|Ref=EXO_40:38!12|MId=o020400380121|Strong=3605|SpaceAfter=No 17 בֵּֽית־ בַּיִת NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 16 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.house|Ref=EXO_40:38!13|MId=o020400380131|Strong=1004|SpaceAfter=No 18 יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל יִשְׂרָאֵל PROPN _ _ 17 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Israel|Ref=EXO_40:38!14|MId=o020400380141|Strong=3478 19-20 בְּכָל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 19 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EXO_40:38!15|MId=o020400380151|Strong=0871a 20 כָל־ כֹּל NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 obl _ Gloss=all|Ref=EXO_40:38!15|MId=o020400380152|Strong=3605 21-22 מַסְעֵיהֶֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 מַסְעֵי מַסַּע NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=journeyings|Ref=EXO_40:38!16|MId=o020400380161|Strong=4550 22 הֶֽם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 21 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EXO_40:38!16|MId=o020400380162|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=EXO_40:38!16 ``` ## 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | תִּהְיֶה *it was* | yiqtol · qal | אֵשׁ *fire* | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
