Exodus 8:15 שְׁמוֹת

Who acts: magicians, This, Pharaoh, LORD · What happens: say, be, harden, not hearken, speak · To what, where: finger, heart · Speech: someone speaks in this verse

This is Exodus 8:15 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 — magicians, This, Pharaoh, LORD — and what happens in the verse to finger, heart, 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 40 chapters of Exodus on this site, all built by Mova itself from its own trees, with no large model in between.

וַיֹּאמְר֤וּ הַֽחַרְטֻמִּים֙ אֶל־פַּרְעֹ֔ה אֶצְבַּ֥ע אֱלֹהִ֖ים הִ֑וא וַיֶּחֱזַ֤ק לֵב־פַּרְעֹה֙ וְלֹֽא־שָׁמַ֣ע אֲלֵהֶ֔ם כַּאֲשֶׁ֖ר דִּבֶּ֥ר יְהוָֽה׃ס

(8-15) Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh: 'This is the finger of God'; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had spoken.

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

וַאֲמָרוּ חָרָשַּׁיָא לְפַרְעֹה הָא מָחָא מִן קֳדָם יְיָ הִיא וְאִתַּקַף לִבָּא דְפַרְעֹה וְלָא קַבִּיל מִנְהוֹן כְּמָא דִמַלִיל יְיָ:
