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, Moses — and what happens in the verse to handfuls, you, Moses, furnace, sight, Pharaoh, 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 יְהוָה֮ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן֒ קְח֤וּ לָכֶם֙ מְלֹ֣א חָפְנֵיכֶ֔ם פִּ֖יחַ כִּבְשָׁ֑ן וּזְרָק֥וֹ מֹשֶׁ֛ה הַשָּׁמַ֖יְמָה לְעֵינֵ֥י פַרְעֹֽה׃ [And the LORD said unto Moses and unto Aaron: 'Take to you handfuls of soot of the furnace, and let Moses throw it heavenward in the sight of Pharaoh.](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/torah/jps/EXO.243/) ## 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:217 # text = וַיֹּ֣אמֶר יְהוָה֮ אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֣ה וְאֶֽל־אַהֲרֹן֒ קְח֤וּ לָכֶם֙ מְלֹ֣א חָפְנֵיכֶ֔ם פִּ֖יחַ כִּבְשָׁ֑ן וּזְרָק֥וֹ מֹשֶׁ֛ה הַשָּׁמַ֖יְמָה לְעֵינֵ֥י פַרְעֹֽה׃ # verse = EXO.9.8 1-2 וַיֹּ֣אמֶר _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 1 וַ וְ CCONJ _ _ 2 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_9:8!1|MId=o020090080011|Strong=2050b 2 יֹּ֣אמֶר אָמַר VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 0 root _ Gloss=he.said|Ref=EXO_9:8!1|MId=o020090080012|Strong=0559|Frame=A0:020090080021;|Type=wayyiqtol 3 יְהוָה֮ יהוה PROPN _ _ 2 nsubj _ Gloss=Yahweh|Ref=EXO_9:8!2|MId=o020090080021|Strong=3068 4 אֶל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 5 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_9:8!3|MId=o020090080031|Strong=0413|SpaceAfter=No 5 מֹשֶׁ֣ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 2 obl _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=EXO_9:8!4|MId=o020090080041|Strong=4872 6-7 וְאֶֽל־ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 6 וְ וְ CCONJ _ _ 8 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_9:8!5|MId=o020090080051|Strong=2050b 7 אֶֽל־ אֶל ADP _ _ 8 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_9:8!5|MId=o020090080052|Strong=0413 8 אַהֲרֹן֒ אַהֲרֹן PROPN _ _ 5 conj _ Gloss=Aaron|Ref=EXO_9:8!6|MId=o020090080061|Strong=0175 9 קְח֤וּ לָקַח VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Plur|Person=2 2 ccomp _ Gloss=take|Ref=EXO_9:8!7|MId=o020090080071|Strong=3947|Frame=A0:020090080041;020090080061;A1:020090080091;|Type=imperative 10-11 לָכֶם֙ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 10 ל לְ ADP _ _ 11 case _ Gloss=(for|Ref=EXO_9:8!8|MId=o020090080081|Strong=3807a 11 ָכֶם֙ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 9 obl _ Gloss=yourselves|Ref=EXO_9:8!8|MId=o020090080082|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 12 מְלֹ֣א מְלֹא NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 9 obj _ Gloss=the.fullness|Ref=EXO_9:8!9|MId=o020090080091|Strong=4393 13-14 חָפְנֵיכֶ֔ם _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 13 חָפְנֵי חֹפֶן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Dual 12 compound:smixut _ Gloss=the.hollow.of.your.hands|Ref=EXO_9:8!10|MId=o020090080101|Strong=2651 14 כֶ֔ם הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur|Person=2|PronType=Prs 13 nmod:poss _ Gloss=your|Ref=EXO_9:8!10|MId=o020090080102|Strong=3641b|Type=pronominal 15 פִּ֖יחַ פִּיחַ NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 12 appos _ Gloss=soot|Ref=EXO_9:8!11|MId=o020090080111|Strong=6368 16 כִּבְשָׁ֑ן כִּבְשָׁן NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing 15 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.a.kiln|Ref=EXO_9:8!12|MId=o020090080121|Strong=3536 17-19 וּזְרָק֥וֹ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 17 וּ וְ CCONJ _ _ 18 cc _ Gloss=and|Ref=EXO_9:8!13|MId=o020090080131|Strong=2050b 18 זְרָק זָרַק VERB _ Gender=Masc|HebBinyan=QAL|Number=Sing|Person=3 9 conj _ Gloss=he|Ref=EXO_9:8!13|MId=o020090080132|Strong=2236|Frame=A1:020090080133;A0:020090080141;|Type=qatal 19 ֥וֹ הוּא PRON _ Gender=Masc|Number=Sing|Person=3|PronType=Prs 18 obj _ Gloss=will.sprinkle.it|Ref=EXO_9:8!13|MId=o020090080133|Strong=2050c|Type=pronominal 20 מֹשֶׁ֛ה מֹשֶׁה PROPN _ _ 18 nsubj _ Gloss=Moses|Ref=EXO_9:8!14|MId=o020090080141|Strong=4872 21-23 הַשָּׁמַ֖יְמָה _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 21 הַ הַ DET _ PronType=Art 22 det _ Gloss=towards|Ref=EXO_9:8!15|MId=o020090080151|Strong=1886a|Type=definite_article 22 שָּׁמַ֖יְמ שָׁמַיִם NOUN _ Gender=Masc|Number=Plur 18 obl _ Gloss=the|Ref=EXO_9:8!15|MId=o020090080152|Strong=8064 23 ָה ה X _ _ 22 nmod _ Gloss=heavens|Ref=EXO_9:8!15|MId=o020090080153|Strong=1886c|Type=directional_he 24-25 לְעֵינֵ֥י _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 24 לְ לְ ADP _ _ 25 case _ Gloss=to|Ref=EXO_9:8!16|MId=o020090080161|Strong=3807a 25 עֵינֵ֥י עַיִן NOUN _ Number=Dual 18 obl _ Gloss=the.eyes|Ref=EXO_9:8!16|MId=o020090080162|Strong=5869 26 פַרְעֹֽה פַּרְעֹה PROPN _ _ 25 compound:smixut _ Gloss=of.Pharaoh|Ref=EXO_9:8!17|MId=o020090080171|Strong=6547|SpaceAfter=No 27 ׃ ׃ PUNCT _ _ 26 punct _ Ref=EXO_9:8!17 ``` ## Pragmatics {#pragmatics} - form: command - act: request - voice: character - speech: a frame and its quote - negation: no - 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 | יְהוָה *Yahweh* | | | | | קְחוּ *take* | imperative · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* + אַהֲרֹן *Aaron* | מְלֹא *the fullness* | | | | זְרָק *he* | qatal · qal | מֹשֶׁה *Moses* | וֹ *will sprinkle it* | | | MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant.
