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 — and what happens in the verse to hand, thee, thou, earth, 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. כִּ֤י עַתָּה֙ שָׁלַ֣חְתִּי אֶת־יָדִ֔י וָאַ֥ךְ אוֹתְךָ֛ וְאֶֽת־עַמְּךָ֖ בַּדָּ֑בֶר וַתִּכָּחֵ֖ד מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ [Surely now I had put forth My hand, and smitten thee and thy people with pestilence, and thou hadst been cut off from the earth.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.250/) ## 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:224 # text = כִּ֤י עַתָּה֙ שָׁלַ֣חְתִּי אֶת־יָדִ֔י וָאַ֥ךְ אוֹתְךָ֛ וְאֶֽת־עַמְּךָ֖ בַּדָּ֑בֶר וַתִּכָּחֵ֖ד מִן־הָאָֽרֶץ׃ # verse = EXO.9.15 1 כִּ֤י כִּי SCONJ _ _ 3 mark _ Gloss=(dm)|Ref=EXO_9:15!1|MId=o020090150011|Strong=3588 2 עַתָּה֙ עַתָּה ADV _ _ 3 advmod _ Gloss=now|Ref=EXO_9:15!2|MId=o020090150021|Strong=6258 3 שָׁלַ֣חְתִּי שָׁלַח VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=1 0 root _ Gloss=I.stretched.out|Ref=EXO_9:15!3|MId=o020090150031|Strong=7971|Frame=A0:020090130141;A1:020090150051;|Type=qatal 4 אֶת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_9:15!4|MId=o020090150041|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker|SpaceAfter=No 5-6 יָדִ֔י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 5 יָד יָד NOUN _ Number=Sing 3 obj _ Gloss=hand|Ref=EXO_9:15!5|MId=o020090150051|Strong=3027 6 ִ֔י הוּא PRON _ Gender=Com|Number=Sing|Person=1|PronType=Prs 5 nmod:poss _ Gloss=my|Ref=EXO_9:15!5|MId=o020090150052|Strong=2967a|Type=pronominal 7-8 וָאַ֥ךְ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 7 וָ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_9:15!6|MId=o020090150061|Strong=2050b 8 אַ֥ךְ נָכָה VERB _ Gender=Com|HebBinyan=HIPHIL|Number=Sing|Person=1 3 conj _ Gloss=I.struck|Ref=EXO_9:15!6|MId=o020090150062|Strong=5221|Frame=AA:020090130141;A0:020090150072;020090150091;|Type=wayyiqtol 9-10 אוֹתְךָ֛ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 9 אוֹת אֵת ADP _ _ 10 case _ Gloss=|Ref=EXO_9:15!7|MId=o020090150071|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 10 ְךָ֛ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 8 obj _ Gloss=you|Ref=EXO_9:15!7|MId=o020090150072|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 11-12 וְאֶֽת־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 11 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 13 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_9:15!8|MId=o020090150081|Strong=2050b 12 אֶֽת־ אֵת ADP _ _ 13 case _ Gloss=(et)|Ref=EXO_9:15!8|MId=o020090150082|Strong=0853|Type=direct_object_marker 13-14 עַמְּךָ֖ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 עַמּ עַם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 10 conj _ Gloss=people|Ref=EXO_9:15!9|MId=o020090150091|Strong=5971 14 ְךָ֖ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_9:15!9|MId=o020090150092|Strong=3509b|Type=pronominal 15-17 בַּדָּ֑בֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 15 בַּ בְּ ADP _ _ 17 case _ Gloss=with|Ref=EXO_9:15!10|MId=o020090150101|Strong=0871a 16 ה הַ DET _ PronType=Art 17 det _ Gloss=(the)|Ref=EXO_9:15!10|MId=o020090150101ה|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 17 דָּ֑בֶר דֶּבֶר NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 8 obl _ Gloss=pestilence|Ref=EXO_9:15!10|MId=o020090150102|Strong=1698 18-19 וַתִּכָּחֵ֖ד _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 18 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 19 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_9:15!11|MId=o020090150111|Strong=2050b 19 תִּכָּחֵ֖ד כָּחַד VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=NIPHAL|Number=Sing|Person=2 3 conj _ Gloss=you.were.destroyed|Ref=EXO_9:15!11|MId=o020090150112|Strong=3582|Frame=A1:020090130091;|Type=wayyiqtol 20 מִן־ מִן ADP _ _ 22 case _ Gloss=from|Ref=EXO_9:15!12|MId=o020090150121|Strong=4480|SpaceAfter=No 21-22 הָאָֽרֶץ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הָ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_9:15!13|MId=o020090150131|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 אָֽרֶץ אֶרֶץ NOUN _ Number=Sing 19 obl _ Gloss=earth|Ref=EXO_9:15!13|MId=o020090150132|Strong=0776 23 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 22 punct _ Ref=EXO_9:15!13 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: statement - act: assert - 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) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | שָׁלַחְתִּי *I stretched out* | qatal · qal | | יָד *hand* | | | | אַךְ *I struck* | wayyiqtol · hiphil | ְךָ *you* + עַמּ *people* | | | | | תִּכָּחֵד *you were destroyed* | wayyiqtol · niphal | | | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
