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 — I, people, swarms, thou — and what happens in the verse to land, Goshen, end, LORD, midst, 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. וְהִפְלֵיתִי֩ בַיּ֨וֹם הַה֜וּא אֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ גֹּ֗שֶׁן אֲשֶׁ֤ר עַמִּי֙ עֹמֵ֣ד עָלֶ֔יהָ לְבִלְתִּ֥י הֱיֽוֹת־שָׁ֖ם עָרֹ֑ב לְמַ֣עַן תֵּדַ֔ע כִּ֛י אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה בְּקֶ֥רֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ [(8-18) And I will set apart in that day the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there; to the end that thou mayest know that I am the LORD in the midst of the earth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.224/) ## 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:199 # text = וְהִפְלֵיתִי֩ בַיּ֨וֹם הַה֜וּא אֶת־אֶ֣רֶץ גֹּ֗שֶׁן אֲשֶׁ֤ר עַמִּי֙ עֹמֵ֣ד עָלֶ֔יהָ לְבִלְתִּ֥י הֱיֽוֹת־שָׁ֖ם עָרֹ֑ב לְמַ֣עַן תֵּדַ֔ע כִּ֛י אֲנִ֥י יְהוָ֖ה בְּקֶ֥רֶב הָאָֽרֶץ׃ # verse = EXO.8.18 1-2 וְהִפְלֵיתִי֩ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_8:18!1|MId=o020080180011|Strong=2050b 2 הִפְלֵיתִי֩ פָּלָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.will.make.separate|Ref=EXO_8:18!1|MId=o020080180012|Strong=6395|Frame=AA:020080160171;A0:020080180051;|Type=weqatal 3-5 בַיּ֨וֹם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 3 בַ בְּ ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_8:18!2|MId=o020080180021|Strong=0871a 4 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 5 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_8:18!2|MId=o020080180021ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 5 יּ֨וֹם יוֹם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 2 obl _ Gloss=day|Ref=EXO_8:18!2|MId=o020080180022|Strong=3117 6-7 הַה֜וּא _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 7 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EXO_8:18!3|MId=o020080180031|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 7 ה֜וּא הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 5 det _ Gloss=that|Ref=EXO_8:18!3|MId=o020080180032|Strong=1931|Type=personal 8 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 9 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_8:18!4|MId=o020080180041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 9 אֶ֣רֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 2 obj _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=EXO_8:18!5|MId=o020080180051|Strong=0776 10 גֹּ֗שֶׁן גֹּשֶׁן PROPN _ _ 9 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Goshen|Ref=EXO_8:18!6|MId=o020080180061|Strong=1657 11 אֲשֶׁ֤ר אֲשֶׁר SCONJ _ _ 14 mark _ Gloss=which|Ref=EXO_8:18!7|MId=o020080180071|Strong=0834|Type=relative 12-13 עַמִּי֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 14 nsubj _ Gloss=people|Ref=EXO_8:18!8|MId=o020080180081|Strong=5971 13 ִי֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EXO_8:18!8|MId=o020080180082|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 14 עֹמֵ֣ד עָמַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing 9 acl:relcl _ Gloss=[is].standing|Ref=EXO_8:18!9|MId=o020080180091|Strong=5975|Frame=A0:020080180081;|Type=participle_active 15-16 עָלֶ֔יהָ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 עָלֶ֔י עַל ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=on|Ref=EXO_8:18!10|MId=o020080180101|Strong=5921 16 הָ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 14 obl _ Gloss=it|Ref=EXO_8:18!10|MId=o020080180102|Strong=1886d|Type=pronominal 17-18 לְבִלְתִּ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 19 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_8:18!11|MId=o020080180111|Strong=3807a 18 בִלְתִּ֥י בֵּלֶת ADP _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EXO_8:18!11|MId=o020080180112|Strong=1115 19 הֱיֽוֹת־ הָיָה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 2 advcl _ Gloss=to.be|Ref=EXO_8:18!12|MId=o020080180121|Strong=1961|Frame=A0:020080180141;|Type=infinitive_construct|SpaceAfter=No 20 שָׁ֖ם שָׁם ADV _ _ 19 advmod _ Gloss=there|Ref=EXO_8:18!13|MId=o020080180131|Strong=8033 21 עָרֹ֑ב עָרֹב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 19 nsubj _ Gloss=a.swarm|Ref=EXO_8:18!14|MId=o020080180141|Strong=6157 22 לְמַ֣עַן לְמַעַן SCONJ _ _ 23 mark _ Gloss=so.that|Ref=EXO_8:18!15|MId=o020080180151|Strong=4616 23 תֵּדַ֔ע יָדַע VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 2 parataxis _ Gloss=you.may.know|Ref=EXO_8:18!16|MId=o020080180161|Strong=3045|Frame=A0:020080160091;A1:020080180202;|Type=yiqtol 24 כִּ֛י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 28 mark _ Gloss=(dm).that|Ref=EXO_8:18!17|MId=o020080180171|Strong=3588 25 אֲנִ֥י אֲנִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 28 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EXO_8:18!18|MId=o020080180181|Strong=0589|Type=personal 26 יְהוָ֖ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 25 appos _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_8:18!19|MId=o020080180191|Strong=3068 27-28 בְּקֶ֥רֶב _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 בְּ בְּ ADP _ _ 28 case _ Gloss=[am].in|Ref=EXO_8:18!20|MId=o020080180201|Strong=0871a 28 קֶ֥רֶב קֶרֶב NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 23 ccomp _ Gloss=the.midst|Ref=EXO_8:18!20|MId=o020080180202|Strong=7130 29-30 הָאָֽרֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 29 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 30 det _ Gloss=of|Ref=EXO_8:18!21|MId=o020080180211|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 30 אָֽרֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 28 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.land|Ref=EXO_8:18!21|MId=o020080180212|Strong=0776 31 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 30 punct _ Ref=EXO_8:18!21 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: inside a quote begun earlier - negation: no | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | הִפְלֵיתִי *I will make separate* | weqatal · hiphil | אֶרֶץ *the land* | | | | | עֹמֵד *\[is\] standing* | participle active · qal | עַמּ *people* | | | | | הֱיֽוֹת־ *to be* | infinitive construct · qal | עָרֹב *a swarm* | | | | | תֵּדַע *you may know* | yiqtol · qal | | קֶרֶב *the midst* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
