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 — Moses, we, eyes — and what happens in the verse to abomination, LORD, us, 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. וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֗ה לֹ֤א נָכוֹן֙ לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת כֵּ֔ן כִּ֚י תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת מִצְרַ֔יִם נִזְבַּ֖ח לַיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ הֵ֣ן נִזְבַּ֞ח אֶת־תּוֹעֲבַ֥ת מִצְרַ֛יִם לְעֵינֵיהֶ֖ם וְלֹ֥א יִסְקְלֻֽנוּ׃ [(8-22) And Moses said: 'It is not meet so to do; for we shall sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to the LORD our God; lo, if we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, will they not stone us?](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.228/) ## 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:203 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֗ה לֹ֤א נָכוֹן֙ לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת כֵּ֔ן כִּ֚י תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת מִצְרַ֔יִם נִזְבַּ֖ח לַיהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ הֵ֣ן נִזְבַּ֞ח אֶת־תּוֹעֲבַ֥ת מִצְרַ֛יִם לְעֵינֵיהֶ֖ם וְלֹ֥א יִסְקְלֻֽנוּ׃ # verse = EXO.8.22 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_8:22!1|MId=o020080220011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=EXO_8:22!1|MId=o020080220012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:020080220021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 מֹשֶׁ֗ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=EXO_8:22!2|MId=o020080220021|Strong=4872 4 לֹ֤א לֹא ADV _ _ 5 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EXO_8:22!3|MId=o020080220031|Strong=3808|Type=negative 5 נָכוֹן֙ כּוּן VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing 2 ccomp _ Gloss=[is].established|Ref=EXO_8:22!4|MId=o020080220041|Strong=3559|Frame=A0:020080220052;|Type=participle_active 6-7 לַעֲשׂ֣וֹת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_8:22!5|MId=o020080220051|Strong=3807a 7 עֲשׂ֣וֹת עָשָׂה VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 5 nsubj _ Gloss=do|Ref=EXO_8:22!5|MId=o020080220052|Strong=6213|Frame=A0:020080220021;020080210053;020060270091;|Type=infinitive_construct 8 כֵּ֔ן כֵּן ADV _ _ 7 advmod _ Gloss=thus|Ref=EXO_8:22!6|MId=o020080220061|Strong=3651|Type=demonstrative 9 כִּ֚י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 12 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EXO_8:22!7|MId=o020080220071|Strong=3588 10 תּוֹעֲבַ֣ת תּוֹעֵבַה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 12 obj _ Gloss=the.abomination|Ref=EXO_8:22!8|MId=o020080220081|Strong=8441 11 מִצְרַ֔יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 10 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=EXO_8:22!9|MId=o020080220091|Strong=4714 12 נִזְבַּ֖ח זָבַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 5 advcl _ Gloss=we.will.sacrifice|Ref=EXO_8:22!10|MId=o020080220101|Strong=2076|Frame=A0:020080220021;020080210053;020060270091;A1:020080220081;|Type=yiqtol 13-14 לַיהוָ֣ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 14 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_8:22!11|MId=o020080220111|Strong=3807a 14 יהוָ֣ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 12 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_8:22!11|MId=o020080220112|Strong=3068 15-16 אֱלֹהֵ֑ינוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 אֱלֹהֵ֑י אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 14 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=EXO_8:22!12|MId=o020080220121|Strong=0430 16 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 15 nmod:poss _ Gloss=our|Ref=EXO_8:22!12|MId=o020080220122|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 17 הֵ֣ן הֵן INTJ _ _ 18 discourse _ Gloss=here!|Ref=EXO_8:22!13|MId=o020080220131|Strong=2005|Type=demonstrative 18 נִזְבַּ֞ח זָבַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=1 5 parataxis _ Gloss=we.will.sacrifice|Ref=EXO_8:22!14|MId=o020080220141|Strong=2076|Frame=A0:020080220021;020080210053;020060270091;A1:020080220161;|Type=yiqtol 19 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 20 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_8:22!15|MId=o020080220151|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 20 תּוֹעֲבַ֥ת תּוֹעֵבַה NOUN _ Gender=Fem|Number=Sing 18 obj _ Gloss=the.abomination|Ref=EXO_8:22!16|MId=o020080220161|Strong=8441 21 מִצְרַ֛יִם מִצְרַיִם PROPN _ _ 20 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Egypt|Ref=EXO_8:22!17|MId=o020080220171|Strong=4714 22-24 לְעֵינֵיהֶ֖ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 22 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 23 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_8:22!18|MId=o020080220181|Strong=3807a 23 עֵינֵי עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 18 obl _ Gloss=eyes|Ref=EXO_8:22!18|MId=o020080220182|Strong=5869 24 הֶ֖ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=3|PronType=Prs 23 nmod:poss _ Gloss=their|Ref=EXO_8:22!18|MId=o020080220183|Strong=3963a|Type=pronominal 25-26 וְלֹ֥א _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 25 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 27 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_8:22!19|MId=o020080220191|Strong=2050b 26 לֹ֥א לֹא ADV _ _ 27 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EXO_8:22!19|MId=o020080220192|Strong=3808|Type=negative 27-28 יִסְקְלֻֽנוּ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 27 יִסְקְלֻֽ סָקַל VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=3 5 conj _ Gloss=will|Ref=EXO_8:22!20|MId=o020080220201|Strong=5619|Frame=A0:020080220171;A1:020080220202;|Type=yiqtol 28 נוּ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Plur|Person=1|PronType=Prs 27 obj _ Gloss=they.stone.us?|Ref=EXO_8:22!20|MId=o020080220202|Strong=5105a|Type=pronominal 29 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 28 punct _ Ref=EXO_8:22!20 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} -
