Joshua 4:16 יְהוֹשֻׁעַ

Who acts: you, priests · What happens: command, bear, come up · To what, where: priests, ark, Jordan · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Joshua 4:16 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (Nevi'im — the Prophets). 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 — you, priests — and what happens in the verse to priests, ark, Jordan, read clause by clause by Mova's frames. Beside it stand the Aramaic of Targum Jonathan 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 24 chapters of Joshua on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

צַוֵּה֙ אֶת־הַכֹּ֣הֲנִ֔ים נֹשְׂאֵ֖י אֲר֣וֹן הָעֵד֑וּת וְיַעֲל֖וּ מִן־הַיַּרְדֵּֽן׃

'Command the priests that bear the ark of the testimony, that they come up out of the Jordan.'

The 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.

MACULA's semantic frames: for each verb the head word of each participant. A0 is the one who acts, A1 what the act is done to or is about, A2 a further participant; AA, with a causative verb, the one who makes it happen.

פַּקֵיד יַת כַּהֲנַיָא נַטְלֵי אֲרוֹנָא דְסַהֲדוּתָא וְיִסְקוּן מִן יַרְדְנָא:

The Aramaic translation read beside the Hebrew. Text only: Mova has no Aramaic parser yet.
