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, thou, I, rod, waters — and what happens in the verse to this, LORD, hand, river, people, blood, 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. כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה בְּזֹ֣את תֵּדַ֔ע כִּ֖י אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הִנֵּ֨ה אָנֹכִ֜י מַכֶּ֣ה ׀ בַּמַּטֶּ֣ה אֲשֶׁר־בְּיָדִ֗י עַל־הַמַּ֛יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּיְאֹ֖ר וְנֶהֶפְכ֥וּ לְדָֽם׃ [thus saith the LORD: In this thou shalt know that I am the LORD — behold, I will smite with the rod that is in my hand upon the waters which are in the river, and they shall be turned to blood.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.194/) ## 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:169 # text = כֹּ֚ה אָמַ֣ר יְהוָ֔ה בְּזֹ֣את תֵּדַ֔ע כִּ֖י אֲנִ֣י יְהוָ֑ה הִנֵּ֨ה אָנֹכִ֜י מַכֶּ֣ה ׀ בַּמַּטֶּ֣ה אֲשֶׁר־בְּיָדִ֗י עַל־הַמַּ֛יִם אֲשֶׁ֥ר בַּיְאֹ֖ר וְנֶהֶפְכ֥וּ לְדָֽם׃ # verse = EXO.7.17 1 כֹּ֚ה כֹּה ADV _ _ 2 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=EXO_7:17!1|MId=o020070170011|Strong=3541 2 אָמַ֣ר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.says|Ref=EXO_7:17!2|MId=o020070170021|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:020070170031;|Type=qatal 3 יְהוָ֔ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_7:17!3|MId=o020070170031|Strong=3068 4-5 בְּזֹ֣את _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 4 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=by|Ref=EXO_7:17!4|MId=o020070170041|Strong=0871a 5 זֹ֣את זֹאת PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|PronType=Dem 6 obl _ Gloss=this|Ref=EXO_7:17!4|MId=o020070170042|Strong=2063|Type=demonstrative 6 תֵּדַ֔ע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=you.will.know|Ref=EXO_7:17!5|MId=o020070170051|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:020070150031;A1:020070170081;|Type=yiqtol 7 כִּ֖י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 9 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=EXO_7:17!6|MId=o020070170061|Strong=3588 8 אֲנִ֣י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 9 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EXO_7:17!7|MId=o020070170071|Strong=0589|Type=personal 9 יְהוָ֑ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 6 ccomp _ Gloss=[am].Yahweh|Ref=EXO_7:17!8|MId=o020070170081|Strong=3068 10 הִנֵּ֨ה הִנֵּה INTJ _ _ 6 parataxis _ Gloss=here!|Ref=EXO_7:17!9|MId=o020070170091|Strong=2009|Type=demonstrative 11 אָנֹכִ֜י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EXO_7:17!10|MId=o020070170101|Strong=0595|Type=personal 12 מַכֶּ֣ה נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing 6 parataxis _ Gloss=[am].about.to.strike|Ref=EXO_7:17!11|MId=o020070170111|Strong=5221|Frame=A0:020070170101;|Type=participle_active 13 ׀ ׀ PUNCT _ _ 12 punct _ Ref=EXO_7:17!11 14-16 בַּמַּטֶּ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EXO_7:17!12|MId=o020070170121|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_7:17!12|MId=o020070170121ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מַּטֶּ֣ה מַטֶּה NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 obl _ Gloss=staff|Ref=EXO_7:17!12|MId=o020070170122|Strong=4294 17 אֲשֶׁר־ אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 19 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EXO_7:17!13|MId=o020070170131|Strong=0834|Type=relative|SpaceAfter=No 18-20 בְּיָדִ֗י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=EXO_7:17!14|MId=o020070170141|Strong=0871a 19 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 16 acl:relcl _ Gloss=hand|Ref=EXO_7:17!14|MId=o020070170142|Strong=3027 20 ִ֗י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 19 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EXO_7:17!14|MId=o020070170143|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 21 עַל־ עַל ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=(on)|Ref=EXO_7:17!15|MId=o020070170151|Strong=5921|SpaceAfter=No 22-23 הַמַּ֛יִם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 23 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_7:17!16|MId=o020070170161|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 23 מַּ֛יִם מַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 12 obl _ Gloss=water|Ref=EXO_7:17!16|MId=o020070170162|Strong=4325 24 אֲשֶׁ֥ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 27 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EXO_7:17!17|MId=o020070170171|Strong=0834|Type=relative 25-27 בַּיְאֹ֖ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 27 case _ Gloss=[is].in|Ref=EXO_7:17!18|MId=o020070170181|Strong=0871a 26 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 27 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_7:17!18|MId=o020070170181ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 27 יְאֹ֖ר יְאֹר PROPN _ _ 23 acl:relcl _ Gloss=River|Ref=EXO_7:17!18|MId=o020070170182|Strong=2975 28-29 וְנֶהֶפְכ֥וּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 28 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 29 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_7:17!19|MId=o020070170191|Strong=2050b 29 נֶהֶפְכ֥וּ הָפַךְ VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 12 conj _ Gloss=they.will.be.changed|Ref=EXO_7:17!19|MId=o020070170192|Strong=2015|Frame=A1:020070170162;|Type=qatal 30-31 לְדָֽם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 30 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 31 case _ Gloss=into|Ref=EXO_7:17!20|MId=o020070170201|Strong=3807a 31 דָֽם דָּם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 29 obl _ Gloss=blood|Ref=EXO_7:17!20|MId=o020070170202|Strong=1818 32 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 31 punct _ Ref=EXO_7:17!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - indirect: yes - the frame alone: decl · assert · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | אָמַר *he says* | qatal · qal | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | תֵּדַע *you will know* | yiqtol · qal | | יְהוָה *\[am\] Yahweh* | | | | מַכֶּה *\[am\] about to strike* | participle active · hiphil | אָנֹכִי *I* | | | | | נֶהֶפְכוּ *they will be changed* | qatal · niphal | | מַּיִם *water* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
