Deuteronomy 17:6 דְּבָרִים

What happens: be, put, not put · To what, where: thing, mouth

This is Deuteronomy 17:6 from Mova's open Bible corpus, the Tanakh in three languages (The Torah). 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: what happens in the verse to thing, mouth, 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 34 chapters of Deuteronomy on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

עַל־פִּ֣י ׀ שְׁנַ֣יִם עֵדִ֗ים א֛וֹ שְׁלֹשָׁ֥ה עֵדִ֖ים יוּמַ֣ת הַמֵּ֑ת לֹ֣א יוּמַ֔ת עַל־פִּ֖י עֵ֥ד אֶחָֽד׃

At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.

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.

Pragmatics

form: statement
act: assert
voice: character
speech: inside a quote begun earlier
negation: yes

verb	form · stem	what, whom (A1)
יוּמַת he will be put to death	yiqtol · hophal	מֵּת about to die
מֵּת about to die	participle active · qal
not יוּמַת he will be put to death	yiqtol · hophal	מֵּת about to die

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.

Targum Onkelos

עַל מֵימַר תְּרֵין סַהֲדִין אוֹ תְּלָתָא סַהֲדִין יִתְקְטִל דְחַיַב קְטוֹל לָא יִתְקְטֵל עַל מֵימַר סָהִיד חָד

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