Deuteronomy 21:6 דְּבָרִים

Who acts: elders · What happens: be, wash, break · To what, where: hands, neck, valley

This is Deuteronomy 21:6 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: who acts — elders — and what happens in the verse to hands, neck, valley, 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.

וְכֹ֗ל זִקְנֵי֙ הָעִ֣יר הַהִ֔וא הַקְּרֹבִ֖ים אֶל־הֶחָלָ֑ל יִרְחֲצוּ֙ אֶת־יְדֵיהֶ֔ם עַל־הָעֶגְלָ֖ה הָעֲרוּפָ֥ה בַנָּֽחַל׃

And all the elders of that city, who are nearest unto the slain man, shall wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.

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: no

verb	form · stem	who (A0)	what, whom (A1)	to whom, further (A2)	who makes it happen (AA)
יִרְחֲצוּ they will wash	yiqtol · qal	זִקְנֵי the elders	יְדֵי hands
עֲרוּפָה necked	participle passive · qal		עֶגְלָה heifer

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

וְכֹל סָבֵי קַרְתָּא הַהִיא דִקְרִיבִין לִקְטִילָא יַסְחוּן יָת יְדֵיהוֹן עַל עֲגַלְתָּא דִנְקֶפְתָּא בְנַחֲלָא

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