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 — Pharaoh, I, you, ye — and what happens in the verse to you, LORD, wilderness, 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 פַּרְעֹ֗ה אָנֹכִ֞י אֲשַׁלַּ֤ח אֶתְכֶם֙ וּזְבַחְתֶּ֞ם לַיהוָ֤ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֙ בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר רַ֛ק הַרְחֵ֥ק לֹא־תַרְחִ֖יקוּ לָלֶ֑כֶת הַעְתִּ֖ירוּ בַּעֲדִֽי׃ [(8-24) And Pharaoh said: 'I will let you go, that ye may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only ye shall not go very far away; entreat for me.'](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.230/) ## 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:205 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר פַּרְעֹ֗ה אָנֹכִ֞י אֲשַׁלַּ֤ח אֶתְכֶם֙ וּזְבַחְתֶּ֞ם לַיהוָ֤ה אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֙ בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר רַ֛ק הַרְחֵ֥ק לֹא־תַרְחִ֖יקוּ לָלֶ֑כֶת הַעְתִּ֖ירוּ בַּעֲדִֽי׃ # verse = EXO.8.24 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_8:24!1|MId=o020080240011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=EXO_8:24!1|MId=o020080240012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:020080240021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 פַּרְעֹ֗ה פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Pharaoh|Ref=EXO_8:24!2|MId=o020080240021|Strong=6547 4 אָנֹכִ֞י אָנֹכִי PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nsubj _ Gloss=I|Ref=EXO_8:24!3|MId=o020080240031|Strong=0595|Type=personal 5 אֲשַׁלַּ֤ח שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=PIEL|Number=Sing|Person=1 2 ccomp _ Gloss=I.will.let.go|Ref=EXO_8:24!4|MId=o020080240041|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:020080240031;A1:020080240052;|Type=yiqtol 6-7 אֶתְכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 אֶת אֵת ADP _ _ 7 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EXO_8:24!5|MId=o020080240051|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 7 ְכֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 5 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=EXO_8:24!5|MId=o020080240052|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 8-9 וּזְבַחְתֶּ֞ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 8 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 9 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_8:24!6|MId=o020080240061|Strong=2050b 9 זְבַחְתֶּ֞ם זָבַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 5 conj _ Gloss=you.will.sacrifice|Ref=EXO_8:24!6|MId=o020080240062|Strong=2076|Frame=A0:020080220021;020080210053;020060270091;|Type=weqatal 10-11 לַיהוָ֤ה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 לַ לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_8:24!7|MId=o020080240071|Strong=3807a 11 יהוָ֤ה יהוה PROPN _ _ 9 obl _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_8:24!7|MId=o020080240072|Strong=3068 12-13 אֱלֹֽהֵיכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 12 אֱלֹֽהֵי אֱלֹהִים NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 11 appos _ Gloss=God|Ref=EXO_8:24!8|MId=o020080240081|Strong=0430 13 כֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 12 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_8:24!8|MId=o020080240082|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 14-16 בַּמִּדְבָּ֔ר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 14 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 16 case _ Gloss=in|Ref=EXO_8:24!9|MId=o020080240091|Strong=0871a 15 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 16 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_8:24!9|MId=o020080240091ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 16 מִּדְבָּ֔ר מִדְבָּר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obl _ Gloss=wilderness|Ref=EXO_8:24!9|MId=o020080240092|Strong=4057 17 רַ֛ק רַק ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=only|Ref=EXO_8:24!10|MId=o020080240101|Strong=7535|Type=affirmation 18 הַרְחֵ֥ק רָחַק VERB _ HebBinyan=HIPHIL 20 obl:npmod _ Gloss=definitely.(be.far.away)|Ref=EXO_8:24!11|MId=o020080240111|Strong=7368|Type=infinitive_absolute 19 לֹא־ לֹא ADV _ _ 20 advmod _ Gloss=not|Ref=EXO_8:24!12|MId=o020080240121|Strong=3808|Type=negative|SpaceAfter=No 20 תַרְחִ֖יקוּ רָחַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 5 parataxis _ Gloss=you.must.be.far.away|Ref=EXO_8:24!13|MId=o020080240131|Strong=7368|Frame=A0:020080220021;020080210053;020060270091;|Type=yiqtol 21-22 לָלֶ֑כֶת _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 לָ לְ ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_8:24!14|MId=o020080240141|Strong=3807a 22 לֶ֑כֶת הלך VERB _ HebBinyan=QAL 20 advcl _ Gloss=go|Ref=EXO_8:24!14|MId=o020080240142|Strong=1980|Frame=A0:020080220021;020080210053;020060270091;|Type=infinitive_construct 23 הַעְתִּ֖ירוּ עָתַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Plur|Person=2 5 parataxis _ Gloss=pray|Ref=EXO_8:24!15|MId=o020080240151|Strong=6279|Frame=A0:020080220021;020080210053;|Type=imperative 24-25 בַּעֲדִֽי _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 בַּעֲד בַּעַד ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=for|Ref=EXO_8:24!16|MId=o020080240161|Strong=1157 25 ִֽי הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 23 obl _ Gloss=me|Ref=EXO_8:24!16|MId=o020080240162|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 26 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 25 punct _ Ref=EXO_8:24!16 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: promise - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: yes - the frame alone: decl · narrate · none | verb | form · stem | who (A0) | what, whom (A1) | to whom, further (A2) | who makes it happen (AA) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | יֹּאמֶר *he said* | wayyiqtol · qal | פַּרְעֹה *Pharaoh* | | | | | אֲשַׁלַּח *I will let go* | yiqtol · piel | אָנֹכִי *I* | ְכֶם *you* | | | | זְבַחְתֶּם *you will sacrifice* | weqatal · qal | | | | | | **not** תַרְחִיקוּ *you must be far away* | yiqtol · hiphil | | | | | | לֶכֶת *go* | infinitive construct · qal | | | | | | הַעְתִּירוּ *pray* | imperative · hiphil | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
