Deuteronomy 20:2 דְּבָרִים

Who acts: ye, priest · What happens: draw nigh, approach, speak · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Deuteronomy 20:2 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: who acts — ye, priest — and what happens in the verse, 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.

וְהָיָ֕ה כְּקָֽרָבְכֶ֖ם אֶל־הַמִּלְחָמָ֑ה וְנִגַּ֥שׁ הַכֹּהֵ֖ן וְדִבֶּ֥ר אֶל־הָעָֽם׃

And it shall be, when ye draw nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,

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.

Targum Onkelos

וִיהֵי כְּמִקְרָבְכוֹן לַאֲגָחָא קְרָבָא וְיִתְקְרִיב כַּהֲנָא וִימַלֵל עִם עַמָא

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