Deuteronomy 5:25 דְּבָרִים

Who acts: we, great fire · What happens: die, consume, hear · To what, where: us, voice

This is Deuteronomy 5:25 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 — we, great fire — and what happens in the verse to us, voice, 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.

וְעַתָּה֙ לָ֣מָּה נָמ֔וּת כִּ֣י תֹֽאכְלֵ֔נוּ הָאֵ֥שׁ הַגְּדֹלָ֖ה הַזֹּ֑את אִם־יֹסְפִ֣ים ׀ אֲנַ֗חְנוּ לִ֠שְׁמֹעַ אֶת־ק֨וֹל יְהוָ֧ה אֱלֹהֵ֛ינוּ ע֖וֹד וָמָֽתְנוּ׃

Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.

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.

Targum Onkelos

וּשְׁמִיעַ קֳדָם יְיָ יָת קָל פִּתְגָמֵיכוֹן בְּמַלָלוּתְכוֹן עִמִי וַאֲמַר יְיָ לִי שְׁמִיעַ קֳדָמַי יָת קָל פִּתְגָמֵי עַמָא הָדֵין דִי מַלִילוּ עִמָךְ אַתְקִינוּ כָּל דִי מַלִילוּ

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

Each sentence on its own page, with its tree and pragmatics. A sentence that runs on into the next verse is listed under the verse it begins in.

Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
